Wemos D1 board with ESP8266EX

Post by mile40 » Tue Sep 29, 2020 8:51 am

Hi to all

I have Wemos D1 board with ESP8266EX on it. I manage to install Micropython
on this board but I can't see board ass usb disc like I see my STM32F4 discovery board
when Micropython is installed oni it?
With Putty I can manage to connect on Wemos D1 board so I thing drivers are installed correctly.
What is the problem?
Thank's in advance.

No problema at all : ESP8266/ESP322 doesn't have support for USB mass storage, like Pyboard v1.1/Lite 1.0/D SF2/3/6 have.

I suggest to use rshell, mpfshell and ampy as CLI tools to manage files. On MX Linux 19.2/Debian 10 Buster :

Code: Select all

$ pip3 install --upgrade --user rshell mpfshell adafruit-ampy
And some editor/IDE supporting MicroPython :
- Thonny v3.3.0b2;
- Atom with "Pymakr" packages (compatível with Pycom and other MicroPython boards);
- Visaul Studio Code (VSCode) with "Pymakr" extension (install 'nodejs' via repository).
My "MicroPython Samples". My "MicroPython Firmwares" with many options (double precision, ulab, etc).
