To get USB access:
- install the USB serial driver, check that you see a
/dev/cu.wchusbserial1410
device when plugging in the board over USB
To deploy MicroPython on the board:
- get the MicroPython firmware (get the SPIRAM variant to get access to the 4MB of RAM)
- install esptool by running
sudo pip install esptool
- clear the flash by running
esptool.py --chip esp32 --port /dev/cu.usbserial-1410 erase_flash
- flash MicroPython by running
esptool.py --chip esp32 --port /dev/cu.usbserial-1410 --baud 460800 write_flash -z 0x1000 esp32spiram-idf3-20190125-v1.10.bin
- access MicroPython by running
screen /dev/cu.usbserial-1410 115200
- exit screen through
CTRL + a
thenk
To setup a WiFi connection from the MicroPython prompt:
import network
wifi = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
wifi.active(True)
wifi.config(dhcp_hostname="Sensor")
wifi.connect("WIFI_NETWORK", "WIFI_PASSWORD")
To read the temperature from the SHT30 sensor board from the MicroPython prompt:
import machine
i2c = machine.I2C(scl=machine.Pin(22), sda=machine.Pin(21))
address = i2c.scan()[0]
i2c.writeto(address, b'\x2C\x10')
data = i2c.readfrom(address, 6)
temperature = (((data[0] << 8 | data[1]) * 175) / 0xFFFF) - 45
humidity = (((data[3] << 8 | data[4]) * 100.0) / 0xFFFF)
print("%.1f degrees, %.1f%% humidity" % (temperature, humidity))
See the reference SHT30 code for more info.
To deploy Arduino on the board:
- download the Arduino IDE
- right click on the app and select Open to bypass the app codesigning issues
- after Arduino starts, open the Preferences window
- in the Additional Board Manager URLs box, enter:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json
- go to the Tools > Board > Board Manager menu, search for ESP32 and install that package
- select
LOLIN D32 PRO
as your board and/dev/cu.usbserial-1410
as your serial port - click the arrow button to deploy your code to the board
To install esp-idf and use their serial logger:
- run
git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git
- install esp-idf through
cd esp-idf ; ./install.sh
- set the right environment variables through
. ./export.sh
- now you can run
idf.py monitor
