I recently watched the informative video by Tony D regarding "How to load MicroPython on the Feather HUZZAH ESP8266" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_cont ... MbFYeFtJeI). In the video Tony stresses the need to install Python 2, because the installation tool for the ESP8266 (esptool) is not compatible with version 3. Given that this video was created in 2016, has that situation changed; can Python v3 be installed instead? Are there updated videos?
Thanks Mickey
P.S. Is Tony associated with MicroPython.org, AdaFruit, other?
MicroPython compatibility with Python v3
Re: MicroPython compatibility with Python v3
The esptool will work version 3 of Python. TD works for Adafruit.
Re: MicroPython compatibility with Python v3
Thanks so much for the reply. Thought TD worked for AdaFruit, but he had @micropython on his videos, so I wasn't sure.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
Re: MicroPython compatibility with Python v3
As bitninja indicates, Py 3 is fine. I use ampy and esptool with CPython 3.6.5 without issues.
