Micropython

Installing:

sudo pip install esptool
esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 erase_flash
esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 460800 write_flash --flash_size=detect 0 ~/Desktop/esp8266-20171101-v1.9.3.bin

Connecting via Terminal:

sudo apt install picocom
picocom /dev/ttyUSB0 -b115200

Connecting via REPL(web):

import webrepl_setup

If you disabled automatic start-up on boot, you may run configured daemon on demand using:

import webrepl
webrepl.start()

Playing with GPIO:

 import machine
 pin = machine.Pin(2, machine.Pin.OUT)
 pin.on()
 pin.off()

 def toggle(p):
    p.value(not p.value())

 toggle(pin)

 import time
 while True:
    toggle(pin)
    time.sleep_ms(500)

 import machine
 import time

 pin = machine.Pin(2, machine.Pin.OUT)

 def toggle(p):
     p.value(not p.value())

 while True:
 for i in range(100,999):
    time.sleep_ms(i)
    toggle(pin)

Checking filesystem:

import os
os.listdir()

Create directories:

os.mkdir('dir')

Remove entries:

os.remove('data.txt')

Checking Machine Frequency & Overclocking:

import machine
machine.freq()                # get the current frequency of the CPU
machine.freq(160000000)       # set the CPU frequency to 160 MHz

Check AP Name:

import network;
ap = network.WLAN(network.AP_IF);
print(ap.config('essid'));

Change AP name and password:

import network;
ap = network.WLAN(network.AP_IF);
ap.active(True);
ap.config(essid='MyESP8266', authmode=network.AUTH_WPA_WPA2_PSK, password='mypassword');
print(ap.config('essid'));
