MicroPython (Python 3) for ESP8266 – ESP01 (512KB)

Requirements

v1.12 and earlier will work on modules with 1M or more of flash, while v1.13 requires 2M or more.

ESP8266 ESP01 (512K flash) supported by limited features.

ESP01/01s USB-UART Programmer and UART device drivers. For uploading firmware and Python REPL from the serial console

PC / Notebook (Windows/MacOS – Intel) has been installed with Python 3.x and esptools.py utility program. Try this to install esptools

Thonny and Visual Studio IDE for coding editor for python

pip3 install esptool

Using esptool.py you can erase the flash with the command:

esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 erase_flash

And then deploy the new firmware using esptools.py and filename of the latest binary ESP8266 firmware.

esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 460800 write_flash --flash_size=detect 0 esp8266-xxxxx.bin

Using MicroPython (REPL) via USB-UART (Serial) Programmer on MacOS (Intel) screen utility

screen /dev/tty.SLAB_UART 115200

Note: Press ENTER key when the blinking cursor is on the screen without the REPL prompt.

>>> print(“Hello MicroPython”)

Blink LED (build-in) and main.py filename

Power Up the Circuit and Enable the ESP8266 chip

MB102 Breadboard Power Module provides 3.3V for the circuit. CH_PD pin connected to the 3.3v source to enable the ESP8266EX chip

Code (Output to GPIO 2)

On the Arduino IDE’s Tool Menu, setup the Builtin Led = 2 and the sketch will take the value 2 for LED_BUILTIN

/*
  ESP8266 Blink by Simon Peter
  Blink the blue LED on the ESP-01 module
  This example code is in the public domain

  The blue LED on the ESP-01 module is connected to GPIO1
  (which is also the TXD pin; so we cannot use Serial.print() at the same time)

  Note that this sketch uses LED_BUILTIN to find the pin with the internal LED
*/

void setup() {
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);     // Initialize the LED_BUILTIN pin as an output
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);   // Turn the LED on (Note that LOW is the voltage level
  // but actually the LED is on; this is because
  // it is active low on the ESP-01)
  delay(1000);                      // Wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);  // Turn the LED off by making the voltage HIGH
  delay(2000);                      // Wait for two seconds (to demonstrate the active low LED)
}
