This is the lesson I’ve created to help my students get up-to-speed with PixelBlaze. I’m super-new to all of this, so thoughts on this & future lessons are welcome. Thanks to all here who are helping me learn. And if it’s useful to anyone running courses or workshops - feel free to leverage in your own work.

There are some additional hoops my students need to jump through. The university’s eduroam network doesn’t allow devices like this, but there is a separate network that needs MAC address approval. I share a separate guide for that setup with my students, but it just involves grabbing the MAC address, registering it on the network, then returning to AP mode & configuring PB to access that network with no password.  
Cheers!
