Getting frustrated 😤
I dove into the Smart Home ebook/tutorial with my enthusiasm on HIGH until Arduino IDE came up. I am still in the beginner stages of learning and working with Python and Micropython. As I work on various projects I would prefer to use the same programming language for them all. How difficult would it be, or is it even possible, to follow the Smart Home ebook/tutorial and substitute Arduino for Python or Micropython? Throughout this tutorial, is Arduino used with the Raspberry Pi? This would be much easier if I do not have to keep jumping back & forth between Arduino and Python/Micropython. Also, can the ESP32 CAM be substituted for the Raspberry Pi cam?

Hi Kenneth.
I’m sorry, but we don’t have a version of the ebook in MicroPython language.
It is possible to adapt, but we don’t have anything like that prepared at the moment.
We have short tutorials about using MQTT with the ESP32 and ESP8266 that you can adapt to use and follow with the ebook. For example:
- https://randomnerdtutorials.com/micropython-mqtt-esp32-esp8266/
- https://randomnerdtutorials.com/micropython-mqtt-publish-bme280-esp32-esp8266/
But, if you’re just getting started, it might be a bit confusing…
If you feel like the eBook is not what you’re expecting, you can ask for a refund here: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/returns-and-refunds/
Let me know if I can help with anything else.
Regards,
Sara

No need for a refund. The ebook will not go unused. The fact that you offered or suggested a refund means a lot. Thank you very much for the mqtt tutorial links.Â
