Just out of curiosity, the 'pyb' module methods of PyBoard and the 'machine' methods of ESP8266 are syntactically different even if referring to same functions. E.g. 'i2c.send()' of PyBoard's pyb vs 'i2c.writeto()' of ESP8266's machine. Is there a specific reason for this?

I am using a Debian Jessie 8.3 system. So I skipped the Rpi instructions in the Instuctables You'll need to build the ESP SDK first. Although written for RPi, these instructions should work for your Debian system as well. I've got this point in your instructions: git clone git@github.com:micropytho...

Could someone please outline the process of downloading, building then deploying the firmware for a beginner? There are probably a lot of people like me that have used the Arduino IDE to program the Huzzah/ESP8266 but would like to begin to learn how to install the MicroPython firmware in preparati...

This does not work on the board with the current ESP version. The time prevents the watchdog and wifi and the board resets. You either need to use my port with the os_timer, or simpler, wait a few weeks for the new official version that has much the same thing. Mianos, thanks for your response! I e...

Not sure if there is something I'm overlooking (new to the ESP8266 board and MicroPython), but found an issue today that I narrowed done to timing functions (in any case 'time.sleep()' and 'pyb.delay()'). For instance, when I execute this code: >>> import time >>> for i in range(10): ... print("Hell...
