MicroPython-specific libraries
Functionality specific to the MicroPython implementation is available in the following libraries.
Libraries specific to the ESP8266
The following libraries are specific to the ESP8266.
General board control
The MicroPython REPL is on UART0 (GPIO1=TX, GPIO3=RX) at baudrate 115200. Tab-completion is useful to find out what methods an object has. Paste mode (ctrl-E) is useful to paste a large slab of Python code into the REPL.
The machine module:
import machine
machine.freq() # get the current frequency of the CPU
machine.freq(160000000) # set the CPU frequency to 160 MHz
The esp module:
import esp
esp.osdebug(None) # turn off vendor O/S debugging messages
esp.osdebug(0) # redirect vendor O/S debugging messages to UART(0)
Networking
The network module:
import network
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF) # create station interface
wlan.active(True) # activate the interface
wlan.scan() # scan for access points
wlan.isconnected() # check if the station is connected to an AP
wlan.connect('essid', 'password') # connect to an AP
wlan.config('mac') # get the interface's MAC adddress
wlan.ifconfig() # get the interface's IP/netmask/gw/DNS addresses
ap = network.WLAN(network.AP_IF) # create access-point interface
ap.active(True) # activate the interface
ap.config(essid='ESP-AP') # set the ESSID of the access point
A useful function for connecting to your local WiFi network is:
def do_connect():
import network
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
wlan.active(True)
if not wlan.isconnected():
print('connecting to network...')
wlan.connect('essid', 'password')
while not wlan.isconnected():
pass
print('network config:', wlan.ifconfig())
Once the network is established the socket module can be used to create and use TCP/UDP sockets as usual.
Delay and timing
Use the time module:
import time
time.sleep(1) # sleep for 1 second
time.sleep_ms(500) # sleep for 500 milliseconds
time.sleep_us(10) # sleep for 10 microseconds
start = time.ticks_ms() # get millisecond counter
delta = time.ticks_diff(time.ticks_ms(), start) # compute time difference
Timers
Virtual (RTOS-based) timers are supported. Use the machine.Timer class with timer ID of -1:
from machine import Timer
tim = Timer(-1)
tim.init(period=5000, mode=Timer.ONE_SHOT, callback=lambda t:print(1))
tim.init(period=2000, mode=Timer.PERIODIC, callback=lambda t:print(2))
The period is in milliseconds.
Pins and GPIO
Use the machine.Pin class:
from machine import Pin
p0 = Pin(0, Pin.OUT) # create output pin on GPIO0
p0.high() # set pin to high p0.low() # set pin to low
p0.value(1) # set pin to high
p2 = Pin(2, Pin.IN) # create input pin on GPIO2
print(p2.value()) # get value, 0 or 1
p4 = Pin(4, Pin.IN, Pin.PULL_UP) # enable internal pull-up resistor
p5 = Pin(5, Pin.OUT, value=1) # set pin high on creation
Available pins are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, which correspond to the actual GPIO pin numbers of ESP8266 chip. Note that many end-user boards use their own adhoc pin numbering (marked e.g. D0, D1, ...). As MicroPython supports different boards and modules, physical pin numbering was chosen as the lowest common denominator. For mapping between board logical pins and physical chip pins, consult your board documentation.
Note that Pin(1) and Pin(3) are REPL UART TX and RX respectively. Also note that Pin(16) is a special pin (used for wakeup from deepsleep mode) and may be not available for use with higher-level classes like Neopixel.
PWM (pulse width modulation)
PWM can be enabled on all pins except Pin(16). There is a single frequency for all channels, with range between 1 and 1000 (measured in Hz). The duty cycle is between 0 and 1023 inclusive.
Use the machine.PWM class:
from machine import Pin, PWM
pwm0 = PWM(Pin(0)) # create PWM object from a pin
pwm0.freq() # get current frequency
pwm0.freq(1000) # set frequency
pwm0.duty() # get current duty cycle
pwm0.duty(200) # set duty cycle
pwm0.deinit() # turn off PWM on the pin
pwm2 = PWM(Pin(2), freq=500, duty=512) # create and configure in one go
ADC (analog to digital conversion)
ADC is available on a dedicated pin. Note that input voltages on the ADC pin must be between 0v and 1.0v.
Use the machine.ADC class:
from machine import ADC
adc = ADC(0) # create ADC object on ADC pin
adc.read() # read value, 0-1024
Software SPI bus
There are two SPI drivers. One is implemented in software (bit-banging) and works on all pins:
from machine import Pin, SPI # construct an SPI bus on the given pins # polarity is the idle state of SCK # phase=0 means sample on the first edge of SCK, phase=1 means the second spi = SPI(-1, baudrate=100000, polarity=1, phase=0, sck=Pin(0), mosi=Pin(2), miso=Pin(4)) spi.init(baudrate=200000) # set the baudrate spi.read(10) # read 10 bytes on MISO spi.read(10, 0xff) # read 10 bytes while outputing 0xff on MOSI buf = bytearray(50) # create a buffer spi.readinto(buf) # read into the given buffer (reads 50 bytes in this case) spi.readinto(buf, 0xff) # read into the given buffer and output 0xff on MOSI spi.write(b'12345') # write 5 bytes on MOSI buf = bytearray(4) # create a buffer spi.write_readinto(b'1234', buf) # write to MOSI and read from MISO into the buffer spi.write_readinto(buf, buf) # write buf to MOSI and read MISO back into buf
Hardware SPI bus
The hardware SPI is faster (up to 80Mhz), but only works on following pins: MISO is GPIO12, MOSI is GPIO13, and SCK is GPIO14. It has the same methods as the bitbanging SPI class above, except for the pin parameters for the constructor and init (as those are fixed):
from machine import Pin, SPI hspi = SPI(1, baudrate=80000000, polarity=0, phase=0)
(SPI(0) is used for FlashROM and not available to users.)
I2C bus
The I2C driver is implemented in software and works on all pins:
from machine import Pin, I2C # construct an I2C bus i2c = I2C(scl=Pin(5), sda=Pin(4), freq=100000) i2c.readfrom(0x3a, 4) # read 4 bytes from slave device with address 0x3a i2c.writeto(0x3a, '12') # write '12' to slave device with address 0x3a buf = bytearray(10) # create a buffer with 10 bytes i2c.writeto(0x3a, buf) # write the given buffer to the slave
Deep-sleep mode
Connect GPIO16 to the reset pin (RST on HUZZAH). Then the following code can be used to sleep, wake and check the reset cause:
import machine # configure RTC.ALARM0 to be able to wake the device rtc = machine.RTC() rtc.irq(trigger=rtc.ALARM0, wake=machine.DEEPSLEEP) # check if the device woke from a deep sleep if machine.reset_cause() == machine.DEEPSLEEP_RESET: print('woke from a deep sleep') # set RTC.ALARM0 to fire after 10 seconds (waking the device) rtc.alarm(rtc.ALARM0, 10000) # put the device to sleep machine.deepsleep()
OneWire driver
The OneWire driver is implemented in software and works on all pins:
from machine import Pin import onewire ow = onewire.OneWire(Pin(12)) # create a OneWire bus on GPIO12 ow.scan() # return a list of devices on the bus ow.reset() # reset the bus ow.readbyte() # read a byte ow.writebyte(0x12) # write a byte on the bus ow.write('123') # write bytes on the bus ow.select_rom(b'12345678') # select a specific device by its ROM code
There is a specific driver for DS18S20 and DS18B20 devices:
import time, ds18x20 ds = ds18x20.DS18X20(ow) roms = ds.scan() ds.convert_temp() time.sleep_ms(750) for rom in roms: print(ds.read_temp(rom))
Be sure to put a 4.7k pull-up resistor on the data line. Note that the convert_temp() method must be called each time you want to sample the temperature.
NeoPixel driver
Use the neopixel module:
from machine import Pin from neopixel import NeoPixel pin = Pin(0, Pin.OUT) # set GPIO0 to output to drive NeoPixels np = NeoPixel(pin, 8) # create NeoPixel driver on GPIO0 for 8 pixels np[0] = (255, 255, 255) # set the first pixel to white np.write() # write data to all pixels r, g, b = np[0] # get first pixel colour
For low-level driving of a NeoPixel:
import esp esp.neopixel_write(pin, grb_buf, is800khz)
APA102 driver
Use the apa102 module:
from machine import Pin from apa102 import APA102 clock = Pin(14, Pin.OUT) # set GPIO14 to output to drive the clock data = Pin(13, Pin.OUT) # set GPIO13 to output to drive the data apa = APA102(clock, data, 8) # create APA102 driver on the clock and the data pin for 8 pixels apa[0] = (255, 255, 255, 31) # set the first pixel to white with a maximum brightness of 31 apa.write() # write data to all pixels r, g, b, brightness = apa[0] # get first pixel colour
For low-level driving of an APA102:
import esp esp.apa102_write(clock_pin, data_pin, rgbi_buf)
DHT driver
The DHT driver is implemented in software and works on all pins:
import dht import machine d = dht.DHT11(machine.Pin(4)) d.measure() d.temperature() # eg. 23 (°C) d.humidity() # eg. 41 (% RH) d = dht.DHT22(machine.Pin(4)) d.measure() d.temperature() # eg. 23.6 (°C) d.humidity() # eg. 41.3 (% RH)
WebREPL (web browser interactive prompt)
WebREPL (REPL over WebSockets, accessible via a web browser) is an experimental feature available in ESP8266 port. Download web client from https://github.com/micropython/webrepl(hosted version available at http://micropython.org/webrepl), and configure it by executing:
import webrepl_setup
and following on-screen instructions. After reboot, it will be available for connection. If you disabled automatic start-up on boot, you may run configured daemon on demand using:
import webrepl webrepl.start()
The supported way to use WebREPL is by connecting to ESP8266 access point, but the daemon is also started on STA interface if it is active, so if your router is set up and works correctly, you may also use WebREPL while connected to your normal Internet access point (use the ESP8266 AP connection method if you face any issues).
Besides terminal/command prompt access, WebREPL also has provision for file transfer (both upload and download). Web client has buttons for the corresponding functions, or you can use command-line client webrepl_cli.py from the repository above.
See the MicroPython forum for other community-supported alternatives to transfer files to ESP8266.
