Sweet video! Is it possible to install external modules as well? i.e scapy for packet crafting?

[igrewold]

Thanks dude. Darn Python is getting everywhere even inside uCs! ;D But that will for sure save us a lot of time spent on learning LUA! So this is a good project I hope it succeeds.

Is there a version of this video WITHOUT the background music?

If I flash a microPython supported firmware for esp8266. Could I still able to use arduino ide to upload scratch to the dev board ?

[CharlieMulholland]

when I went to change the need_size thing, it didn't have the folder .build

[surajd]

You are videos are really awesome. Plz make some videos on micropython based on webserver, mqtt, and other iot stuffs.

[MsCropse]

It is great tutorial man, but can I build the code in the ESP8266 run automatically instead of using serial port?

[mmiscool]

have you tried eap8266 basic? Might be an interesting topic for a video.

I just got an ESP-12E by Geekcriet and I've been trying to learn about electronics from scratch so that I could work with making a robot. Aiming to use my Raspberry Pi for higher level stuff (camera, Google Speech APi) and the ESP-12E with a motor driver controller to carry out the lower level stuff. I've been working with Picaxe 20X2's and made some gesture robots in my degree but hoping to learn more with this personal project! :)

sir, i am so thankful for your tutorials
i am trying to interface adxl345(3 axis accelerometer) with esp8266 using micropython
but, i2c.scan() is not detecting the address of adxl345
i have tried all possible methods, i request you to please help me to interface adxl345 with esp8266 using I2c in micropython

Hi. Love your tuts, but this one I can't get to work.

I'm running El Capitan, and it does fail. But the file you suggest to open and edit, does not exists? Any ideas?

Best 8266 tutorials around (no joking!) - Thanks so much!!

This MicroPython is the only one to have given me some troubles ... I managed to get the build working after some errors and everything looked good. The final bin was created and uploaded ok and everything seemed good except when I connect via terminal (screen) I get nothing! it just hangs... resets, USB plug pulls, baud rates changes, flash erase have been tried numerous times. I tried Linux and Windows serial consoles but all connect and just hang.

Just wondering if you have any other thoughts where this could be dying or what to try next?

- Built on Linux Mint (VM)
- NodeMCU 12e

Thanks!

I wish OTA updates were working. I had to switch to Arduino IDE because I absolutely require OTA.

[davy]

Why did you used "import pyb" if you have a ESP8266 board?

[MaxGoddur]

Saddened to see no Windows version of this tutorial.

[Grant.Miller]

Sometimes you can find a ESP8266 pre-loaded with micropython on ebay.

Background music stopped me from finishing vid :- (   ).

No music maybe you will get more views. :-
