Tutorial AutoRun
Contents
Run your MicroPyton code directly at Boot-up of ESP32/ESP8266
In this part of the tutorial, we talk about the boot process and how to start your own code at boot-up time. For this, we show how to use 'main.py' as entry point. We have an example how to use a Pin/switch to select whether to boot into your code or to not start a program.
We also look at how to use the uPyCraft IDE when autorun code, basically how to connect with Putty (or any terminal program) to remove main.py to be able to connect again with uPyCraft IDE.
Success criteria
- you understand the boot process works (boot.py then main.py)
- you have written some code and configured the ESP32 so that it is executed at boot time automatically
- you have written a main.py that allows to select whether to boot into your code or not

How to Autorun MicroPython code
This shows how to use main.py as entry point to shart your MicroPython code. It looks at how to stop a running program with a terminal program (e.g. Putty). We introduce how to add a boot selector switch.
There is a video on Youtube (29:23) that shows the software: https://youtu.be/kzgUN_h1bqw
