How to install micropython firmware on esp32 esp8266

micropython is a lightweight implementation of the python 3 programming language that is optimized to run on microcontrollers like esp32 and esp8266. installing micropython firmware on esp32 or esp8266 enables you to write and run python code directly on these microcontrollers.

here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to install micropython firmware on esp32 and esp8266:

### prerequisites:
1. download the latest micropython firmware for esp32 or esp8266 from the official micropython website.
2. install esptool to flash the firmware. you can install it using pip:


### steps to install micropython firmware on esp32 or esp8266:

1. **erasing existing firmware (optional):**
if you want to erase the existing firmware on your esp32 or esp8266, you can use esptool to do this. make sure your device is connected to your computer via usb.


2. **flashing the micropython firmware:**


3. **accessing the micropython repl:**
after successfully flashing the firmware, you can connect to the serial repl (read-eval-print loop) to interact with your esp32 or esp8266 using python. you can use a serial terminal tool (e.g., putty, minicom) to connect to the device at a baud rate of 115200.

4. **testing micropython on esp32 or esp8266:**
once you have access to the repl, you can start running python code on your esp32 or esp8266. for example, you can try blinking an led connected to pin 2 on esp8266:


### additional resources:

by following these steps, you can successfully install micropython firmware on your esp32 or esp8266 and start programming in python directly on these microcontrollers.
