Dear commnity

after having successfully installed the binaries on the ESP with this tool - the ESP8266-Flasher :: ESP-IDF http://www.dietrich-kindermann.de/esp_flashtool.html

we stuck ..

see the protocolll

Code: Select all

Connecting....
Detecting chip type... ESP8266
Chip is ESP8266EX
Uploading stub...
Running stub...

Configuring flash size...
Auto-detected Flash size: 4MB
Erasing flash (this may take a while)...
Chip erase completed successfully in 12.4s
Flash params set to 0x0340

Wrote 589360 bytes (385922 compressed) at 0x00000000 in 34.7 seconds (effective 135.9 kbit/s)...
Hash of data verified.

Leaving...

Done.

now we want to do first tests - i. e. connect to the board.

with the uPyCraft-IDE we tried to connect to the board - but this failed with the following lines..

Code: Select all

could not open port 'COM3': PermissionError(13, 'Zugriff verweigert', None, 5)
could not open port 'COM3': PermissionError(13, 'Zugriff verweigert', None, 5)
serial not open
could not open port 'COM3': PermissionError(13, 'Zugriff verweigert', None, 5)

any idea how t o skip this errors - and to connect to the board!?

thanks for any and all help in advance

The user has no permission to use the COM port. Unfortunately I cannot help as this appears to be a Windows machine, a Google search will probably help. ESP8266-Flasher might still be connected to the COM port. Try closing it if it is still open.

have a great day.

greetings

btw. where to download the newest v ersion of uPCraft - i have running version 1.0
and besides that: i have mused and thougtht that it wold be a good idea to get other IDEs working with the ESP such as

vscode
thonny
ATOM
PyCharm

but do i need to install the ArduinoIDE too !?
love to hear from you

good day dear ghayne

many thanks for the quick reply - i am glad to hear from you

http://docs.dfrobot.com/upycraft/

for all windows users it is important to mention that many ppl out there would need a driver the famous Silicon labs CP210X USB to UART Bridge: this might be pretty important for many folks. Besides that – this is a very hot piece of software.

I am trying to install it on Linux too - on a MX-Linux which is debian based. But at the moment i have troubles to do that.
Besides upyCraft i am also configuring

- vscode
- pyCharme

to work on Windows and Linux. I am glad for all recommendations and hints regarding the setup of VSCODE and PyCharme to work with MicroPython
