- Tested on a range of ESP32 development boards
- Download the source code from https://github.com/geekscape/aiko_engine_mp
git clone https://github.com/geekscape/aiko_engine_mp
cd aiko_engine_mp
- Ensure you have a compatible hardware board or compatible microPython port
- Make sure you have a Python virtual environment set-up, including virtualenvwrapper
- Create
mkvirtualenv micropythonand work on the new virtual environment
workon micropython
- Install mpfshell
pip install esptool
pip install -U mpfshell
- Plug in your ESP32 device and make sure you can see it,
e.g
ls /dev/tty.*provides e.g/dev/tty.wchserial1410 - Export the serial port to an environment variable, so mpfshell can use it,
e.g
export AMPY_PORT=<port>whereportis the device address shown by thelscommand above - Download latest microPython
- Flash microPython
./scripts/flash_micropython.sh
- Run the Aiko Engine MP flash script
./scripts/mpf_script.sh ./scripts/aiko.mpf
Note: For Lolin32-Lite boards, the serial port can be notoriously problematic
and requires a slight delay in order for the connection to occur properly.
If you're seeing errors that look like Could not enter raw repl then this is probably related.
For mpfshell (version v0.9.1 and earlier) on Mac OS X or Windows, this
problem may be fixed via this patch
