Getting Started with MicroPython and Thonny

Get started using MicroPython on an ESP8266 microcontroller! This video goes over installing Thonny, flashing MicroPython to an ESP8266, and writing a simple program for a ESP8266 using Micropython.

your channel is best in micropython for esp8266 thanks a lot

Is there a way to upload a whole folder to the ESP? I like to keep it organized in folders when I upload to github, and I'm just wondering if there's a way to upload a folder so it still recognizes all the code inside

I'm getting the below error. Ctrl+C didn't work. restarting also didn't work. Can you tell about the bootloader mode specific for esp32 Cam module and mention names of Buttons to use for boot process.

Device is busy or does not respond. Your options:

- wait until it completes current work;
- use Ctrl+C to interrupt current work;
- reset the device and try again;
- check connection properties;
- make sure the device has suitable MicroPython / CircuitPython / firmware;
- make sure the device is not in bootloader mode.

I have a problem with attribute error in esp32. Attribute error. 'pin' object attribute error 'out'...can you help to solve this?

Hey, everytime I unplug ESP32, thonny didn't start with the "micropython" dialog, is it normal? what should I do?

Good video friend, but pythom tells me that the machine module is not installed, how do I install it?

hi, thanks for the detailed video. I wish I watched it before I spent 2 days on trial and error to get it done. I encounter issues when trying to import modules to my esp32. I use thonny and the last micropy ver1.12. eventhough i import the plugin through thonny, it doesn't work when i import it through the REPL. for example (kalman, numpy, gps).I also can't import Calender package.
last question: is it possible that all the packages that can be used are in the esp file we flashed with? and can't be added to be used later?
thanks

Dont turn on the subtitles at the start

Nice video man, but when my esp8266 is reset or unplug the code is lost, is it normal?

[meriemmhamdi]

hi thx for the video ; but i have a problem
i'm using a ESP32, wen i tap " import esp " i'm getting this error

( Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'esp' )

can you help pleas

Can you use Thonny to single step thru the python script or is it uploading only? If not, would using a different python IDE (wing or Mu) allow you to debug?

When flashing the micropython image, can you still use it as a webserver or to access the web? Or would you have to implement it in python (SimpleHTTPServer)?

For example, I'm interested in the esp8266 serving data plots (ex. chart js).. is that something that could be done with the built-in webserver, or if not, how much of the esp8266's backend server code can be changed?
