In this hands-on workshop, you'll turn a WEMOS D1 Mini board into a portable access point that can broadcast custom web pages to nearby devices (without actually connecting to WI-FI 😉). Join us as we explore the potential of captive portals for unique and unconventional site-specific interventions.
For instructions on how to use this code, read the zine.
- Computer
- Wemos D1 Mini (4MB) or Wemos D1 Mini Pro (16 MB)
- MicroUSB cable (one that can transfer data)
- Arduino IDE (integrated development environment), which is the application you'll use to program your Wemos D1 mini.
- ESP2866 software package: https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
- LittleFS Upload Plugin (download the .vsix file in the releases)
- Source-code editor of your choice, which you’ll use to edit your site files. (I like VS Codium and Notepad++)
