+# mqtt-weather-station firmware
+
+This project uses [micropython](https://micropython.org/), specifically [microhomie](https://github.com/microhomie/microhomie).
+Currently we build on microhomie-esp8266-v3.0.2, the binary is in the folder.
+
+You must define the private information defined in `settings.py`.
+Copy `settings.py.example` to make a folder `settings.py` and define all relevant variables.
+
+Run `flash.sh` to flash the board.
+You will need [esptool](https://github.com/espressif/esptool) and [ampy](https://github.com/scientifichackers/ampy).
+
+We recommend an [FTDI Basic Breakout](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9716) to physically program the ESP8266.
