The full-scale dedicated store to download all the applications for your Macintosh system. This was released along with the Mac OS X leopard to get the response from the end-user about its practicality and when all positive reviews turned in, apple decided to go with the MacApp store with a tweak to the software frame and also improving the user interface between the user. MacPorts needs a full XCode installation, while homebrew only needs XCode command line tools. See Customized Setup of Toolchain section for some of the reasons why installing the toolchain from scratch may be necessary. Programming the ESP32 on your Mac! Go out and buy yourself a cheap little ESP32 SoC and follow these basic instructions to setup your development environment on your Mac. If you want to do some advanced C-programming to control your ESP32, this is for you. This posts shows how to flash MicroPython firmware to ESP32/ESP8266 boards using the uPyCraft IDE software. It works on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Before continuing with this tutorial, make sure you follow one of these guides to install uPyCraft IDE on your computer: Windows PC – Install uPyCraft IDE; Mac OS X – Install uPyCraft IDE.
A few days ago a package arrived from SeeedStudio: the new NodeMCU board V1.0 (see picture)The NodeMCU V1.0 (picture from here) |
On paper it has some nice advantages compared to the old V0.9 version or also to other ESP8266 dev boards: you can directly connect it to your computer for programming and you won’t need an additional USB-to-Serial programmer or an external power supply. The USB connector does the job. The only problem: they must have changed something on the interface. Flashing doesn’t work out of the box anymore:
I’m programming on a Mac, so all the fancy Windows based flashing tools won’t work for me directly. I usually use the adapted Arduino IDE or the esptool.py to upload new images to the device. This posts describes how you can flash the new hardware despite the problems with the esptool. Basically it shows how you can use the original Windows tool from Espressif from your Mac OS X system, even if it is made for Windows.
- Download and install driver for the CP2102 from here: https://www.silabs.com/Support%20Documents/Software/Mac_OSX_VCP_Driver.zip
- If you don’t already have it install homebrew: http://brew.sh/
- Install wine:
I had to work around some issues with brew and wine. Write a comment if you want to know how I resolved them…
- Download the latest Flashing tool from Espressif:
http://bbs.espressif.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=433 - Install unrar (if you don’t already have it):
- Unpack the flash tool:
- Install unrar (if you don’t already have it):
- Enter the directory and start the Flashing Tool:
- Now that the wine directory has created enter the dosdevices folder and create a symlink to your NodeMCUs tty device:
- Select your image and adjust the settings according to this screenshot:
ESP Flash Tool started from wine: adjust the settings accordingly - Now connect the NodeMCU module using USB and press the RST button while you keep pressing the FLASH button. This will put the module into the right state for flashing
- Now click START in the flasher tool and wait until it is finished. Click RST again and have fun.
I hope that the esptool gets fixed quickly to work with the new hardware. I’m also not sure whether the problems comes from the USB-to-Serial converter or rather from the ESP-12E module. I suspect it is the later, but I couldn’t find anyone complaining about problems with the ESP-12E in general.
