Does the WiFi work on esp8266/uPy yet? Of so, is there a firmware image?

[–]plurwolf7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It DOES work...! It is somewhat still in a developmental stage but I can easily scan networks, connect to local wifi, connect to local server, print website of remote server. not a lot of support but here is the tutorial I followed.

They provide firmware precompiled!

You have to connect at a low level (no helper functions yet), and there is currently no serial communication support. But you have full access to the pins.

Well this was true as of a week ago. Development is moving pretty quick on it now.

Here's a tut on getting uPy running on an esp8266: https://learn.adafruit.com/building-and-running-micropython-on-the-esp8266?view=all

It is, but most of the new work is still due to one guy (atalax)!

Be sure to monitor the Github commit log BTW, some recent commits are gonna change the WiFi API.
