CheeseBoard Workshop - Build an ESP8266 Development Unit

The Curious Electric Company supply kits and designs for measuring, monitoring and interacting with our environment. We started running workshops at Nottingham Hackspace to share skills and educate. We are now supplying those kits to a wider audience.

The Curious Electric Company

Join Mouse and Matt to build this WiFi connected development board!
This will be a mixture of soldering the kit together (basic, through-hole soldering), fit it all into the enclosure and upload some basic code. We provide all the parts to build this kit. 
This development board is called the 'CheeseBoard: Cheddar" and we hope that it will be useful for displaying basic information from a website or to upload data or information to a website.
The CheeseBoard is based upon the ESP8266 wifi system on a chip (the NodeMCU Amica devleopment board) . It has been designed to try out your ideas quickly and easily. It is also a learning platform for developing ideas on the ESP8266/NodeMCU.
We are providing some basic programs to get you started.
The board contains:
<UL>
<LI>ESP8266 Amica NodeMCU unit</LI>
<LI>124 x 64 pixel OLED display</LI>
<LI>Rotary encoder with push-switch</LI>
<LI>5 x WS2812 RGB LEDs</LI>
</UL>
There as also breakout pads for connecting serial data and also a socket for an HC-12 wireless serial module (sorry, HC-12 is not supplied).
This project is fully open-source and the PCB design files are available here:

This board is a new kit from The Curious Electric Company. We are running this at a reduced price in order to get feedback on the instructions and board functions.
If you can, please bring along a laptop with the latest Arduino IDE (version 1.8) already installed - this will mean you can get up and running quickly!
