Just wanted to say thanks for the instructions. I am not a programmer but I purchased some esp32 wroom boards for projects and used this video to install MicroPython using windows 11. There were some differences involved but I finally got it to work! Even had the LED turn on and off just like in the video! Now Im off to learn programming during my retirement!
This is the clearest video on installing micropython so far. I am an app engineer since 1976 but I wrote assembler and designed my own programming languages. I have been out of programming for 19 years and lost a lot of updates to the microcontroller world and could never understand C, C++ etc. This makes it easy.
@phil nelson, glad that you liked it. I experience same problem as you, I learned assembly language for PIC microcontrollers from school then learn C and VHDL in work but due to few circumstances, I change my career but I am still fascinated with controlling the LED to blink :D. Kidding aside, I decided to purchased PIC learning board only to found out that Arduino are more popular and commonly use by tinkerers. And my knowledge is a bit rusted. Anyways, I am now back playing with electronics. I would to hear from you soon. Happy tinkering. Thanks
@@TechToTinker It's interesting that you mention the PIC controller. Back in 1995, I started to work for Autostart, a company that produced remote car starters (start your car by remote control.) At that time, the controller used discrete components like the 555 timer and a few others. This was the 810 model. The company had one employee and the owner and had sold 4000 units the year I was hired as a contractor. He had a company produce a controller using the Motorola controller but because 1995 was the year that Motorola stopped selling their controllers and used them for their own cell phones which started to gain in popularity. I was asked to research another controller and he showed me the specs for the Microchip controller (I can't remember the model at this time) so I developed a plug-in board to use the Microchip PIC to replace the Motorola based board and from there, I started to develop more products based on Microchip's controllers. That year, we sold 8000 units, the next was 13000 and it grew till 10 years later, we were selling 250000 remote car starters and alarms. At one point, the CEO of Microchip came to Montreal from Arizona to visit us to ask if there was anything we needed from them to ask them. We were told that Autostart was the largest user of Microchip on the east coast of North America. The only other larger user of the PIC was General Motors. When I started using Microchip, the only language available was the assembler (they later came out with a C language, which I couldn't understand) so I developed a BASIC cross compiler which generated assembler code. I could mix basic and assembler code in the same program without using an instruction to switch between each. Those were the days. Oh yes... Another point, I did succeed in installing MicroPython on the ESP32 board. One of the instructions was different from one of the download sources (I believe it was for the USB driver) but I managed to figure it all out and, it was un-necessary since the Arduino IDE already had it for the ESP32 board.
@@philnelson2364 wow that's a lot of experience especially for the assembly language. I would like to encourage you, maybe you can create assembly language tutorials for those who want to learn it. I am glad you make some progress in MicroPython. Cheers.

This is a great tutorial! Even though some things have changed since this video was uploaded, I was able to figure out how to flash the firmware.. The biggest change that I noticed was instead of open diaglog, there is a link to install.

Hi dear. I am ramesh here from dubai.also an electronic hobbyist. Very nice tutorial you have done. I am already using the thonny too. This is the best ide i found what are the available ide if compare with mu, upycraft. Continue posting such helpful project tutorials. Tru to do some IOT projects.
Hi Ramesh, I am happy to know you. Glad that you like my tutorials. I agree with you about the Thonny Python IDE, it has almost all the necessary tools for building MicroPython codes. But of course there are other more advance IDE like VSCode. And thank you for your suggestions, noted with that.
I got this message in Thonny - wait until it completes current work; - use Ctrl+C to interrupt current work; - reset the device and try again; - check connection properties; - make sure the device has suitable MicroPython / CircuitPython / firmware; - make sure the device is not in bootloader mode.
Very well done video. I would have liked to see you use the actual IDE part not just the command line. Other than that you did an excellent job explaining everything in very nice detail.
@Brian Cooper, the command line or more better to call as REPL is best to use when explaining the concept. In anyways, you can upload your program to ESP and save it as main.py. That way, your program will run after the reset or power ON. By the way, thank you for the kind words :). Cheers
@@TechToTinker I was playing with the IDE part and noticed that it is it's own thing. Everything that I had done in the REPL did not apply there. I Just wasn't sure how it worked until I played with it. It makes more sense now. BTW: thanks for helping me get it going in the first place.

Hello Ahmed with respect I created a device control program for thonyide for esp32 devkit using station and access point modes. I send commands using the udp connection from the mobile application and I also control the devices every three seconds of the application using an api. I'm worried that after making it, when the device is used, there will be a problem in the program and it will not work properly. Is it possible to trust esp32 and micropython language and build a product with many customers?
If my esp32 detected on my device manager (I don't sure when I installed it, I already try blink it with PIO/VScode & it worked) I don't need reinstall cp1202 USB serial, right?
When I install the CP210x driver, and I plug in my ESP32 by USB, there are no COM ports in my Device Manager. I'm using Windows 10 with a Dell XPS 13 9310 laptop. Can someone help?
@Cedric Eveleigh, are you able to successfully installed the driver? You might also want to try the CP210x driver that solves my problem before with USB driver problem. By the way, if your ESP32 is totally not detected by the computer: check the following: 1. Make sure that you are using a data type USB cable (not the USB cables that specifically designed for charging on). 2. Your ESP32 is damaged.
@@TechToTinker Your suggestion #1 solved my issue. I tried another cable and the Silicon Labs COM port showed up in my device manager, just like in your video. Thanks!
Great tutorial. However, I flashed two ESP32s(Adafruit #5323 ). Thonny says it was successful, but the COM port recognization is oscillationing back and forth causing a USB beep. Any thoughts?
If I were you, I would learn the basics of Python syntax first then stick in using Thonny IDE. Thonny is easier and simpler to use and it works great for MicroPython. I am able to use VSCode for MicroPython before but still comes back to Thonny IDE.

Dear ,can you explain me how to flash micropython on esp8266 by thonny on raspberry pi3 .and why is esp8266 port not detected on raspberry pi3 .thank for you help !
Hi @Ho Pi, First, make sure you are using a USB data cable for ESP8266 not charging USB cable. Data cable has 4 or 5 wires inside while charging cable has 2 for the power and ground. After that, using the terminal app inside the Raspberry Pi, type lsusb and you should found [CP210x family] which is the USB for ESP8266. After that, you may need to update and upgrade your Raspberry Pi OS as follows: 1. Using the terminal type "sudo apt update" 2. Using the terminal type "sudo apt full-upgrade" This will need internet connection and will take time. After that, verify your Thonny IDE has version 3.2.6 by opening Thonny IDE, click Help menu, and select About Thonny. Now in order to use Thonny IDE in Raspberry Pi, set the MicroPython Interpreter by clicking Tools menu, select Options..., under the Interpreter tab select Micropython(ESP8266) and under select the port of ESP8266. Hope this helps you to keep going. Yours truly, - George Bantique | tech.to.tinker@gmail.com

After that, using the terminal app inside the Raspberry Pi, type lsusb and you should found [CP210x family] which is the USB for ESP8266.
