Getting Started with MicroPyton and ESP32/ESP8266
In this part of the tutorial, we explain how to get started with MicroPyton and ESP32/ESP8266. This includes how to write the firmware image on the microcontroller and how to use the python shell to interactively program the ESP32/ESP8266.
Setting Up Software on Your Computer
For developing we use in our class the following software:
- uPyCraft IDE which requires Python to be installed
- Putty terminal program on Windows or any other terminal program
There is a short video on Youtube (4:20) that shows the software: https://youtu.be/DnBBB8AcvBg
Writing the MicroPython Firmware Image to the ESP32/ESP8266
- We use the uPyCraft IDE to write the images to the microcontroller, alternatively esptool.py can be used
- the firmware for the ESP32 is available at: http://micropython.org/download/esp32/
- the firmware for the ESP8266 is available at: http://micropython.org/download/esp8266/
In the video on Youtube (17:01) we show, how to write the firmware with the uPyCraft IDE: https://youtu.be/_TrKPDOReJc
