Hello Pranav. I've been wrestling with the combination of VS Code and ESP micros for several days now, without much success. All other tutorials missed salient points in the setup/configuration process that inevitably resulted in failure. The failed video makers all assumed that I am fluent in geek-speak or had my micro already prepped with firmware. Your excellent video was buried deep in YT but it finally surfaced ... and enabled me to move forward at last. Thank you for speaking clearly, speaking slowly and explaining every keystroke at every step. I can now move from C/C++ to MicroPython; and yes, I subscribed and look forward to more of your videos.
good tutorial. old videos force other IDE installes. i dont want 5 IDEs on my computer for each task lol. but looks like Pymakr no longer works? it cant create a folder
the sync project to device is gray(not available), and the led is flashing like crazy even without the code. It also says "Stale. please connect to refresh". Whatever that means. I replugged the board, restarted VSC, etc. Nothing worked
Hi, total noob here. Your video was very helpful to setup MicroPython, many thanks! A question since I tried the little led program you suggest: Visual Studio Code tells me that it "failed toupload d:\Documents\pymakr\WirelessPCStartup to / Reason: SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input" I double checked the code and it seems the same as yours. Posting it here anyway: from machine import Pin import time led = Pin(2, Pin.OUT) for i in range(10): led.on() time.sleep(0.5) led.off() time.sleep(0.5) Tried finding a solution online but with no success, do you have any idea as to why this happens? Thank you if you have time to help
Question for you, after flashing the firmware- my computer disconnects the board and I have to reconnect it physically. The Blue LED starts flashing immediately but I still cannot interact with the board. Does it do the same with yours? I'm using Thonny as my IDE.
may not see this, but i am having an issue....my board wond connect, it keeps saying it wants to boot to safe mode but that fails as well. It popd up windows saying !Could not safeboot device. Please hard reset the device and verify that a shield is installed. Other than that, the connect circle on the left of the board name just keeps spinning, if i unplug the board, it will stop showing, when i plug the board back in, it gives the option to connect, but then spins for a bit, then promps to do safe boot, but then fails....I am holdint the boot button when i plug it in, also used the reset while holdin boot, but nothing seems to work. I have been fighting these boards for a week trying to use them, and your video has got me the furthest, but now i have this issue....hopefully you can help. If not, well, I may need to find a new platform to my project on...all boards i have tried keep doing this.....I hate beeing a noob......

very well my friend it's been troubling me for past 7 days
very well explained , thanks a lot
Thanks for your shareing. One quest.Why we choose 1MB firmware. how to check which one we shoule choose?
the sync project to device is gray(not available), and the led is flashing like crazy even without the code. It also says "Stale. please connect to refresh". Whatever that means. I replugged the board, restarted VSC, etc. Nothing worked

from machine import Pin
import time
led = Pin(2, Pin.OUT)
for i in range(10):
led.on()
time.sleep(0.5)
led.off()
time.sleep(0.5)
Tried finding a solution online but with no success, do you have any idea as to why this happens?
Thank you if you have time to help
important to note that you probably need nodeJS in order to use pymakr

Does it do the same with yours?

Hi, sorry for the late response. This could be the issue if you've connected something to the TX and RX Pins on the board.
What if it doesn't select the COM port automatically
I am struggling for hours 😭😭
mine also
would you help me with adding the urequests into the board?
