Esptool Installation
----------------------------------
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
sudo pip install esptool (pip uninstall esptool)
Alternatively, we can use easy_install. This is a python module bundled with setuptools that lets us automatically download, build, install, and manage Python packages.
sudo easy_install pip
sudo easy_install esptool
Add path (if necessary)
sudo nano /etc/pathsPath to script /usr/local/bin/esptool.py or check via uninstalling command. If you run pip show -f esptool then it should list all of the files installed by the esptool package.
Esptool Commands:
esptool.py -h to see a summary of all available commands and command-line options.
esptool.py version
MicroPython Firmware Installation
----------------------------------
esptool.py --port /dev/tty.wchusbserial1420 erase_flash
--> Burn MicroPython on chip
1. Navigate to the folder with firmware
2. Run:
esptool.py --port /dev/tty.wchusbserial1420 --baud 460800 write_flash --flash_size=detect 0 esp8266-20191220-v1.12.bin
Term output:
esptool.py v2.8
Serial port /dev/tty.wchusbserial1420

--> Test Connection
Connect the ESP82266 board into usb port and find connected devices
ls /dev/tty.*
ls /dev/cu.*

screen /dev/cu.wchusbserial1420 115200
>>> print("Hi")
Hi
(it is already running on the ESP8266 board)
To exit from 'screen' type 'Ctl-a, k'; and then answer 'y' to exit
Example:
>>> import machine
>>> pin = machine.Pin(2, machine.Pin.OUT)
>>> pin.on()
>>> pin.off()
To upload files, we can use WebREPL or ampy tools. To use WebREPL connect your computer to the ESP8266’s access point (MicroPython-xxxxxx) and open client https://micropython.org/webrepl/.

Enable WebREPL
>>> import webrepl_setup
Ampy is made to talk to a CircuitPython MicroPython board over its serial connection. You will need your board connected and any drivers to access it serial port installed.

Install Ampy
sudo pip3 install ampy orUploading *.py files into the ES8266 board

Install Ampy
sudo pip install adafruit-ampy or
pip3 install --upgrade git+https://github.com/adafruit/ampy
or install from sources (Update python version to Python 3.x)
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/ampy.git
sudo python3 setup.py install
--> Upload
ampy --port /dev/tty.wchusbserial1420 --baud 115200 put main.py
export AMPY_PORT=/dev/tty.wchusbserial1420
ampy ls
and now just it
ampy put main.py
--> Show files (ESP266 flash)
ampy --port /dev/tty.wchusbserial1420 --baud 115200 ls
Ampy Commands
----------------------------------
get retrieve a file from the board.
ls list contents of a directory on the board.
get retrieve a file from the board.
ls list contents of a directory on the board.
put put a file on the board.
rm remove a file from the board.
run run a script and print its output.
ampy --port /serial/port ls
