Ported to esp8266!?

Does the changelog for version 1.3.7 really mean that we all can buy those shiny little WIFI boards for a few euros and run µPy directly on them? Or did i simply misinterpret the summary this version? If µPy does run on them, are they stull capable of doing all that WIFI stuff?

Look at this: https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... 72/esp8266

I did before my initial post in this topic and still cannot believe it!

Damien, you are the greatest britain in existence... far above the queen! Long live the king!!!

There is also a olimex board: http://olimex.wordpress.com/2014/11/28/ ... -in-stock/ that has all the gpio available.

Thanks, ordered!

You definitely misinterpreted it . You can buy those boards for few euros. Then you can buy IDA for few Ks. Then you can spend long-long nights reverse-engineering those modules. Then something maybe will work out .

I know. Or you can learn chinese and try to take the documentation they provide. But i guess that reverse-engineer the stuff will yield better and faster results

I think there is no need for reverse engeneering. Schema, datasheet, FW, SDK... everything is available: https://nurdspace.nl/ESP8266

Flashing MicroPython into these modules shouldn't be hard. If anyone already tried it, how-to would be appreciated

All the information they provide is available in English too. It's just not enough documentation.

Yes, you can now get a uPy REPL on the ESP8266. But unfortunately no wifi as yet....
