Installation of Micropython .bin on a ESP8266

Before we can program and use a ESP8266 with python, we need to flash the firmware to MP - a Mirco Python environment especially designed for these microprocessors

We need to dowload the latest MP binary. At the time of writing:

wget https://micropython.org/resources/firmware/esp8266-1m-20220618-v1.19.1.bin

Then, we need to flash the software to the microcontroller. A script that helps us with this task is called esptool.py which can be downloaded from HERE:

esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 erase_flash
esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 460800 write_flash --flash_size=detect -fm dout 0 esp8266-1m-20220618-v1.19.1.bin

We need urequests as well. This is no longer the stnadard in the mikropython default package:

Hopefully. Done.
