Download the CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers
- It is for provide connectivity of your NodeMCU and PC.
- The CP210x USB to UART Bridge Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers are required for device operation as a Virtual COM Port to facilitate host communication with CP210x products. These devices can also interface to a host using the direct access driver.
- NodeMCU flasher is a firmware programmer for NodeMCU DEVKIT V0.9.
- You can use it to program NodeMCU DEVKIT or your own ESP8266 board.
- You MUST set GPIO0 to LOW before programming, and NodeMCU DEVKIT V0.9 will do it automatically.
- We are working on next version and will use QT framework.
- It will be cross platform and open source.
- Choose setup based on you windows if your Windows API based on 32 bit then you should download the available setup inside the directory "Win32/Release" otherwise "Win64/Release".
- When Download completed you have to Run the ESP8266Flasher.exe
- You will look like this kind of Window:
After done this two things, you have to download the firmware of MicroPyhthon
- Find out the "Firmware for ESP8266 Boards"
- Inside this Catagory, you will see many firmware file you can choose any one them.
- When Download is Completed,you should follow this steps to move further:
- In ESP8266Flasher.exe program you will see this symbol inside the "Config" tab.
- after setting up the bin file, just go in to "Operation" tab and click on Flash Button
- You will see this process
Installation of PuTTY in your PC(if PuTTY is already installed in yout system, then no require follow the below steps):
PuTTY is a free and open-source terminal emulator, serial console and network file transfer application. It supports several network protocols, including SCP, SSH, Telnet, rlogin, and raw socket connection. It can also connect to a serial port. The name "PuTTY" has no definitive meaning.
PuTTY supports many variations on the secure remote terminal, and provides user control over the SSH encryption key and protocol version, alternate ciphers such as 3DES, Arcfour, Blowfish, DES, and Public-key authentication. It also can emulate control sequences from xterm, VT102 or ECMA-48 terminal emulation, and allows local, remote, or dynamic port forwarding with SSH (including X11 forwarding). The network communication layer supports IPv6, and the SSH protocol supports the zlib@openssh.com delayed compression scheme. It can also be used with local serial port connections.
PuTTY comes bundled with command-line SCP and SFTP clients, called "pscp" and "psftp" respectively, and plink, a command-line connection tool, used for non-interactive sessions.
- You will PuTTY Configuration Window, inside this window, you have to chanfe Serial line as "COM5" and Speed is to "115200", After Set you Session Name to anything you want for your perpose.
Let us check our device to run Micropython...
- Open you session that is defined in Screenshot, you will see the Command Interface Window.
- When Prompt is opened after you should press once the FLASH button that is available on your device.
- You will see text like this in prompt window:
- Check you configuration by running help() command.
- and run the Below code to see your configuration for Micropython is successfully done or not.
After installation of CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers, you have to install NodeMCU Flasher.
