Getting Started with your Wemos D1

The easiest way to get started is to clone https://github.com/awoehler/electronics.network and the open up the examples and work through the problems.

Download the latest version of the Arduino IDE from https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/software
Add https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json,https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json to your Additional board manager in preferences.

Go to Tools -> Boards -> Board Manager
Type wemos in the search bar and press search.
Find the esp8266 by ESP8266 Community and install it.

Connect your Wemos D1 USB port to your computer. From the Tools -> Board menu select LOLIN (WEMOS) D1 R2 & Mini option.
Next make sure to tell the Arduino IDE which serial port the Wemos is connected to by using the Tools -> Ports option.

Now you are ready to get started with the Wemos D1 Series

Wemos D1 Push Button

Objectives: Build a circuit and program that allow you to control when a light turns on and off. Parts Wemos D1  https://amzn.to/2yYBbMY  Switch Directions Clone https://githubcom/awoehler/electronics.network Open Examples/ButtonLight/ButtonLight.ino Connect one side of a button to D3 and the other side to GND. Since D3 and D4 have built in resistors we don't need to add any other items to make this circuit work. Compile and upload the sketch to the board.  Exercises Change the program so that the button toggles the light on and off.

While commuting to work on the bus I decided I needed something better than a Adafruit shipping box as a work area. Since I'm on the bus and frequently have to share the with someone else I'm limited to a work area the size of my lap with limited storage at my feet. I decided to give two small parts organizers a try. One with some of the dividers removed would be used as my work area and the other would be used for parts. I had picked up one recently for a reasonable price at Walmart for my RC's but didn't like how the center of it wasn't removable but the outside was. I figured with a little modification I could make it work though. So I headed down to Walmart and found that they had changed the design for the better as far as I was concerned. The new design has all of the removable dividers on one side and fixed dividers on the other. The problem is that winter is coming and it will be dark on the bus soon. So I've come up with two different light bar ideas...
