Ey Ya All, I am testing micropython in a microcontroller, here are some things I am using

$ pip install esptool
$ esptool.py --chip esp32c3 --port /dev/tty.usbmodem144301 erase_flash
$ esptool.py --chip esp32c3 --port /dev/tty.usbmodem144301 --baud 460800 write_flash -z 0x0 /tmp/ESP32_GENERIC_C3-20241129-v1.24.1.bin
$ $tio /dev/tty.usbmodem144301 -t

Create the next boot.py:

import network
import time

def connect_to_wifi(ssid, password):
    wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)  # Station mode
    wlan.active(True)
    if not wlan.isconnected():
        print("Connecting to WiFi...")
        wlan.connect(ssid, password)
        for _ in range(10):  # Retry for ~10 seconds
            if wlan.isconnected():
                break
            time.sleep(1)
    if wlan.isconnected():
        print("Connected to WiFi!")
        print("IP Address:", wlan.ifconfig()[0])
    else:
        print("Failed to connect to WiFi")
        wlan.active(False)
    return wlan

# Replace with your WiFi credentials
SSID = "YourWiFiSSID"
PASSWORD = "YourWiFiPassword"

wlan = connect_to_wifi(SSID, PASSWORD)

Then:

pip install adafruit-ampy
ampy --port /dev/tty.usbmodem144301 put boot.py

Check that the file is there with:

with open('boot.py', 'r') as f:
    print(f.read())

And you can check the ip with:

import network
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
if wlan.isconnected():
    print("Connected to WiFi:", wlan.config('essid'))
    print("IP Address:", wlan.ifconfig()[0])
else:
    print("Not connected to WiFi")

Then enable webREPL with, and follow the instructions:

import webrepl_setup

The you can connect to the webREPL by going to the next link:

http://ESPIP:8266/

In my case is in:

http://192.168.1.102:8266/

With the password “clubmate”

Neopixel example

from machine import Pin
from neopixel import NeoPixel

pin = Pin(3, Pin.OUT)   # set GPIO0 to output to drive NeoPixels
np = NeoPixel(pin, 60, bpp=4)   # create NeoPixel driver on GPIO0 for 8 pixels
np[1] = (255, 0, 0, 0) # set the first pixel to white
np.write()              # write data to all pixels

np.fill((100, 0, 0, 0))
np.write()

Install Thonny IDE

I tried VS Code, and doesnt work, is too difficult, so that is why I am moving to Thonny.

Just install it, and then go to:

• Tools > Options > Interpreter
• Configure WebREPL interpreter
