amanem1 / micropython-on-esp8266 Goto Github PK

THIS is to use an alternative to adruino and c++/embedded c by using esp 8266 and micropython. first go to https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp8266/tutorial/intro.html and follow steps to setup your esp 8266 and micropython setup in system. YOU can use generally any os. THE command for esp firmware on system is - "pip install esptool"

and then erase it using - " esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 erase_flash " and then deploy it using "esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 460800 write_flash --flash_size=detect 0 esp8266-20170108-v1.8.7.bin"

if it runs without error then micropython has been installed on the board. I am not a expert on this , i was just enjoying esp 8266 and was shocked seeing it supports micropython and went on reading its documentation and applying so, you if you guys find a lot of errors please correct them and feel free to check out espressif github page for learning more about esp 8266 and implementation on the board.

YOU will need a esp 8266 connected to your pc on which you will code , and will need a usb cable for the connection.
