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.

Success criteria

  • you have installed the uPyCraft IDE on your computer
  • you have a serial line terminal working on your computer (e.g. Putty)
  • you have written the firmware onto the ESP32 and the ESP8266 module
  • you could connect via serial line to the ESP32 and the ESP8266 module and let the onboard LEDs blink from the python prompt
