How to upload ssd1306.py into my ESP32 without using THONNY

[Core28]

Hi, I'm a complete MicroPython newbie. I will soon start using THONNY or other IDEs. But for now, just for the sake of it, how can I upload ssd1306.py, or any other library, into the REPL of my ESP32, just using a terminal program. I'm using Kitty.
Thanx for your help!

I use rshell.

I also wrote a little script that takes a list of files, and it generates a python script which will write those files out. You can run that on your board using pyboard.py (which requires disconnecting your terminal program).

When you run make_files.py you pass it a list of filenames. It will then generate a files.py file that you can run on your board and it will write out the files that you passed into make_files.py.

Personally, I use rshell (disclaimer - I wrote rshell)

If you are using one of the newer builds (1.16 or 1.17) you can use the new mpremote CLI tool:

Code: Select all

mpremote cp ssd1306.py :

which will copy the file from your local drive to the ESP device.
