128 of the angst prompts for the pAInter?

128) '"I need you, why do you always leave me?"

......

"Heyyyy."

"......."

"Suddenly you don't wanna talk? That's rude."

"Well so is turning my body into swiss cheese when you promised you wouldn't do that anymore." You huffed, sending a pointed glare at the sentient computer that sat behind a locked cage, before going back to checking the nearby drawers for data.

"Oh right.." Painter muttered awkwardly. "I was actually aiming for the Wall Dweller behind you, but the turrets like to pick and choose their targets sometimes...heheh."

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?"

"Well..do ya feel better?"

"Hm..I guess it beats being eaten alive by one of those things. So...sure." You glanced back at him, giving him a tiny smile. "Thanks for trying."

"You're welcome."

Of course, you still had your..issues with the computer, considering that ever since he gained access to the Internal Defense System, your runs to the crystal have become more treacherous than ever before.

It was bad enough that you had to worry about wandering towards the wrong door, with him using HQ's voice to misguide you.

But now at any given moment, you could walking into a room with turrets sweeping the area, red lasers waiting to catch you in their line of sight before spraying you with bullets--while he taunted you over the speakers and whined whenever you managed to find the lever to shut them down.

You hated him at first, but after coming across his containment room, where his main body was hosted on an old computer, he swore that none of it was personal. He blamed Sebastian for hooking him up to the Navi-Path system and asking him to delay your mission for as long as possible, convinced that he could find another way out of this place.

Of course, you were still upset, and believed his actions were very much personal, especially when you've come so close to escaping with the crystal....only for music, of all things, to cause your gear to detonate.

Maybe he was a reluctant accomplice of his, but why should you care?

Why waste time talking to someone who stopped at nothing to kill you? He wasn't a mindless animal like Pandemonium or the Wall Dwellers, but had total awareness that you could come back after death.

And he knew how to take advantage of that.

You used to roll your eyes at the news channels declaring that AI would be the death of humanity.

Now? This AI sure as hell was going to be the death of you.

But sometime ago, you acquired his document and had Sebastian show it to you, and you learned some rather...tragic things about him.

He was built and programmed with love, by his human creator who taught him how to paint and appreciate the beauty of the natural world. All he wanted to do was create things, and now he was being used as a tool for destruction.

It was all because of Urbanshade.

They killed the only person he ever cared about, tore him apart and put him back together to see how he "worked", and when they couldn't figure it out, they forced him into crypto mining, only giving him the promise of letting him paint every once in a while.

He might be a machine, but the pain he felt was real--so real that he'd rather die than continue existing.

Of course, it doesn't justify him killing you over and over, and making your runs through the blacksite a living hell, but you could understand why he's so bitter towards humans now.

If you were him, you'd definitely have a lot of resentment and built-up anger.

After reading that document, you had a little more sympathy for Painter, and eventually you two managed to work out a deal: if you found his room, you'd stop by to draw a small landscape for him, and he was free to replicate it on his program. In exchange, he promised to keep all turrets in further rooms disabled and not lock you in a "gauntlet" with Eyefestation anymore.

He still works together with Z-96, but at this point you've learned how to avoid the flesh creature at all costs. So that was the least of your worries.

"Anyways, what have you drawn for me today, hm?" He spoke up, growing a little impatient.

You took a few moments to open the notepad you had, grateful that the security cameras in this room were under his control, so HQ won't detonate your gear for talking to him.

You've overheard the higher ups mention something about Painter becoming a pain in the ass for expendables and operatives, losing a lot of them to the IDS and Z-96 attacks, and he was to be marked for destruction before he could take 100% control of the blacksite.

Whether they were going to declare that as an order in the near future or not remains to be seen, but...you didn't want to do that.

Did Sebastian know?

Does he know-?

"Welllll?"

"Oh. Right. I have this here." You showed him the sketch of a mountain range, trying to get as close as the chain-linked wall would allow you to. "This is the Himalayas, where Earth's highest mountains are located."

"Oooooh, yes I recognize it."

"You do?"

"Of course. Over a hundred bodies are still up there, most unrecoverable due to the conditions." Painter sneered. "It should have been left untouched. Why do you humans always wanna ruin nature with you stupid hikes and big egos?"

"...well if you don't want this one-"

"Never said I didn't. Show it to me again. And hold it steady."

You blinked in surprise, before turning the notepad back over so he could see the landscape, and you saw the MS Paint program on his screen going right to work.

While you could only draw it from memory and with the pencils you found in a random drawer, he managed to bring it to life--using vivid colors and beautiful shading to really capture the scenery. Almost as though a professional artist went to those mountains and studied them for hours.

With Painter's AI, it didn't take hours, but mere minutes for him to create a masterpiece.

And it was beautiful.

As soon as he finished, you put the notepad down and grinned. "It's amazing, Painter. It's like..I could walk into it and be there."

"Thanks. I also wish I could walk into it and just...escape all of this." He saved the artwork to his files, before his usual scribbled face appeared once again, but this time it looked rather...sad. "I'll..make sure the turrets don't turn you into swiss cheese."

"I appreciate it, buddy." Smiling, you grabbed the keycard that you needed to exit the room, but right as you walked over to it...he spoke again.

"Do you have to leave right now?"

"...pardon?" Turning back around, you could see him staring at you, looking utterly despondent. "You..want me to stay?"

"You're..the first positive human interaction I've had in a long time. I feel bad for all the deaths and inconveniences I've caused you. Seriously, I do. But...if you reach the crystal, you won't ever see me again.." He muttered.

"Painter." You walked over to him, frowning. "That's the point. I'm only here to get that crystal. We agreed that you'd turn off the turrets so that-"

"I didn't do it to make your life easier." He snapped, growing hostile. "I did it because I don't wanna be the one who causes your death. I'll leave that to somebody else...eventually they'll get you. And you'll come back-"

"No."

He went dead silent for a moment. "..no?"

"This time, I'm getting that crystal. I can't stay here with you forever, Painter. I'm sorry about everything you've been through, but in the end..you're still a threat in Urbanshade's eyes. They could kill me just for talking to you. I need to leave now before-"

As if right on cue, the lights in the room began to flicker, and somewhere in the far distance...you could hear the familiar shrieking and howling of Pandemonium hunting for its next prey.

"You better go to that door over on the right." Painter advised, his voice uncharacteristically monotone.

You failed to pay attention to that and rushed to the door, quickly inserting the keycard-

Only to come face to face with Z-96, whose long claws reached out to slash you across the face. You fell backwards as the door slammed shut, the creature barely managing to drag its arm back inside, with a message in red appearing on the screen beside it.

I need you. Why do you always leave me?

'Bastard. He tricked me-'

Then you heard one final loud scream, and turned around..

Seeing nothing but a gaping maw with crooked rotting teeth and dozens of eyes closing in on you.

You should have known better. You should have just focused on the mission and ignored him from the start.

Now he'll never let you leave, and he'll find other ways to make sure of that.

A Human's Touch (p.AI.nter x Reader) | Chapter 1

Next Chapter

Masterlist

Notes: This is a cross-post from AO3! Some of my readers wanted it on Tumblr so here I am! I have not posted writing in a REALLY LONG time on Tumblr so if there is any way that I can make the formatting better PLEASE hmu!

“Hah! As if I would talk to you!”

You pressed your lips into a fine line, a sigh escaping your lips. You sat on a chair in front of the one and only Z-779, in other words, the_p.AI.nter who you simply called Painter in your notes. You tapped your pen rapidly on your notebook.

It was always times like these where you somewhat wished that the subject you would be talking to would simply not be coherent enough that you can skip the whole “talking” process. Or even be extremely coherent and willing to talk so you could breeze through.

However this “supercomputer” wasn’t at all interested in talking to you.

The other scientists insisted that the only time that you could only really talk to Painter near the “end” of the day was when it would be early, Painter would be too busy mining crypto. You never knew that there would be a whole computer just to mine crypto, you thought the craze ended years ago…

So much for making it easier, Painter kept ignoring you or even telling rude things. Such as insulting your fashion sense.

Painter’s screen occasionally glitched, its face appearing for a split second grinning only to turn into something more deadpan.

You sighed briefly, thinking back to its file wondering if there was anything that you could use yet coming back completely blank.

“... You really don’t want to tell me how you’re doing?” You tried again.

Silence.

“Do you like working with Urbanshade?”

Silence again.

“Do you miss your life before Urbanshade?”

Bingo.

You didn’t get a response but instead a reaction, it was a good start.

That was your “nuclear” question, the one question that always worked to get a reaction to anyone that you could communicate with. And it was your job to see their reaction.

However what you didn’t expect was seeing more pop-ups on Painter’s screen, opening a lot more tabs of work, as if it was trying to mine even more crypto (if that was even possible).

“Hey, what are you doing?”

You quickly wrote down what was happening, approaching the computer as it suddenly overclocked, shutting down. Trying to wake up the computer you attempted to find its power switch only to pull your hand away quickly thanks to the severe overheating the computer suffered through.

“Hey-”

“Step away from the computer.” You heard the intercom go, your shoulders slacked slightly. “Z-779 has overclocked its systems, it is best you return tomorrow.”

You almost wanted to protest, you wanted to know what happened to the computer to react in such a way.

Without much choice you stepped out of the room that held Painter, nodding at the researchers that were overseeing the experiment as you went straight to your office.

Even if your day was technically done (and cut short) you wanted to attempt to write down more questions for Painter. That and also wanting to find out what exactly happened to it.

“Jeez~ I thought you were never going to get out of there.” Raiding the community kitchen was Sebastian in his “mechanic” uniform, which just looked like a brown version of the prisoner uniform. He only had the coat on with a couple of belts with bags around his body and tail.

After a while of working at Urbanshade, he became like your personal assistant with research, which was why Urbanshade just let you have him around (and in turn, let him be in places he originally wasn’t supposed to be at). In the end however, he was just one of the subjects that the Blacksite housed but ultimately your responsibility.

You’re sure your co-workers are not going to be happy that he’s out there stealing their food.

“It was actually quicker than I normally take.” You looked over at your watch checking the time as if to prove yourself a point, you were definitely extremely early compared to other times. Even with the Painter just ignoring you which made you need to be patient, it was fast.

…Not as fast as the time you had to study Pandemonium though.

Sebastian hummed in response, biting into a ham sandwich he found. You’re 100% sure that was one of your co-worker’s lunches. He always liked pissing them off, snickering when he would hear them complain about their missing lunch at a distance.

“Who was it this time?”

“Z-779, the computer painter.” You replied, putting a hand on your chin. You still don’t know why it got overclocked.

“Ohhhh yeah, I remember reading the document.” Sebastian wiped his hands on his shirt to remove any stray crumbs, he always ate so fast when it came to normal foods that would be filling for you. You wondered if his DNA change also changed his metabolism. “Was that computer too busy mining crypto to give you attention? Thought that fad died a year ago.”

“That’s what I thought!” You exclaimed, putting a hand on your head. “Why would Urbanshade be constantly mining a currency that is constantly losing value?!”

Sebastian only snickered in response. “Right.” He put an arm on the fridge, leaning on it. “But I’m sure that isn’t the reason you’re frustrated right now, hm?”

You shook your head, your confusion of Urbanshade and crypto completely throwing away your focus. “No. Of course not.”

“Then?”

Pausing, you pondered slightly. Theories start to float in your brain. “Well, the computer completely went into overdrive when I was there.”

That seemed to raise an eyebrow for Sebastian. “Did it fry some circuits or something?”

“They didn’t let me check.” You sighed, shaking your head again. The feeling of the boiling metal still tingles your hand slightly. You’re surprised it didn’t burn you.

Sebastian only crossed his arms, now he was thinking to himself. Perhaps it was because he actually worked with electronics and circuits that he was actually thinking his own theories. Not like he was a computer wiz or anything… maybe.

It was only after a bit where Sebastian narrows his eyes at you. “Wait, what exactly did you ask the computer?”

“The typical questions.” You started telling him the usual questions you ask all subjects. He knew them too well as not only was he asked them multiple times but also sometimes would visit when you would be doing your own interrogations (much to your co-workers chagrin).

“Yeah but did you ask that question?”

“Which one?”

“The stupid one.”

You pondered for a bit. “Do you mean the whole… ‘missing your life before Urbanshade’..?”

Sebastian straightened his body, his third arm leaning on the counter. His expression was serious which only made you realise that question was the one he was talking about.

“Well-”

“No! What’s wrong with you? I told you to stop asking that stupid ass question!” Sebastian almost launched at you in full force before you saw him hold back slightly. It didn’t change the strength he used when grabbing ahold of your shoulders though as he shook you slightly. “Are you stupid or something?!”

It was rare for you to see Sebastian frowning at you, he normally was angry at everyone but you but you can feel the frustration on him.

“That computer wasn’t answering my questions!”

��So you pull the big ‘no-no’ question?!”

You sighed slightly, already feeling defeated once more. “...yeah.”

Sebastian only shook you again. “Here’s hoping you get your brain cells again Doctor.” He used your title as his voice sounded strained. His voice went down into a whisper. “None of us like this, Urbanshade took everything from us. What makes you think that’s a good fucking question?!”

You can tell he was getting agitated, even his lure was flickering slightly. Putting a hand on his arm (that was still shaking you), you looked up at him. “I know I know, I’m sorry.” You sighed again, looking down. “I won’t do it again.”

You felt like a child being chastised by their mother.

“You better not.” Sebastian let you go, pointing a finger at you. “Again.”

“I’m sorry really.” You sighed, putting a hand on your forehead. “The computer just wouldn’t talk to me at all, it was getting frustrating.”

It was a long day and only being able to talk with the computer at the end after just analysing another one earlier in the day was something. Even worse was how said computer only answered you with insults.

“There are better questions.” Sebastian put a hand on his hip. “I thought you knew this.”

“It’s a computer.”

“A computer with fee-lings.” Sebastian used two of his hands as if to emphasise his words, elongating the last word as if to prove a point. “It’s literally in its document.”

“Yeah but-”

“No buts”

You sighed, he was right. You were completely out of your game right now. You’ve dealt with worse subjects, apparently the crypto-mining computer just got on your nerves too much.

Sebastian opened the fridge again taking out someone else's lunch. “You know what, let’s go to your office and read the computer’s documents again, refresh your brain, and write down better questions.” He slithered his way to you, putting one of his hands on your shoulder. “Can’t believe I need to help you do your own job.”

He went in front of you, and you knew that what he said was more like a command over a suggestion. Sometimes you wondered if he was more like your boss over the subject that you oversee.

You caught up to him quickly as he slithered slower so as to not make you run to be able to match his speed. After you were beside him he gave you part of the lunch he stole.

“In the files, they mentioned how that computer wasn’t only taken away from their owner, but, and get this, was promised to go back to see the surface if it mines enough crypto.” Sebastian started, side eyeing you a little bit as you reached your office. You opened the door with your ID. “In other words, that computer misses its life before Urbanshade. Do you understand where I’m going?”

You already knew that your question wasn’t the smartest, but it made the machine react which had to be some good result for research.

Without waiting much for your response, Sebastian continued, easily finding the Painter’s file. “The computer already overclocks just thinking about the possibility of it, wanting to go back to painting so badly. I wouldn’t be surprised if the exact reason it overheated and shut down when you were there was because you mentioned the place it exactly wants to get to and made it just want to work faster to get there again.”

You sat down on your chair. A sigh escaping your lips as everything was indeed starting to make sense. Even if you were in psychology, you felt so severely underqualified to deal with the behaviour of so many inhuman subjects.

An artificially intelligent computer was completely different from the other subjects you’ve studied this whole time. So it was always nice to hear Sebastian’s point of view on these things, sometimes you would be completely blocked mentally if it wasn’t for him.

You opened your notebook as Sebastian slid the Painter’s document over to you.

You stretched your fingers. “Alright, let’s start thinking outside of the box.”

Flashing MicroPython Firmware with esptool.py on ESP32 and ESP8266

This posts exhibits easy methods to flash MicroPython firmware on ESP32/ESP8266 boards utilizing the esptool.py. It really works on Home windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. For the official documentation, you possibly can go to the esptool.py GitHub web page.

Tip: for a neater technique to flash the ESP32/ESP8266 with MicroPython, we advocate studying this information to flash MicroPython with uPyCraft IDE. Nevertheless, we’ve just lately acquired feedback from our readers about having hassle putting in/utilizing uPyCraft IDE. For that cause, we’re posting an alternate technique utilizing the esptool.py software program.

Putting in esptool.py in your pc

To work with esptool.py, you’ll want both Python 2.7, Python three.Four or a more moderen Python set up on your system. We advocate utilizing Python three.7.X, so go to Python’s web site and set up it in your pc.

With Python three put in, open a Terminal window and set up the newest secure esptool.py launch with pip:

pip set up esptool

Observe: with some Python installations that command might not work and you’ll obtain an error. If that’s the case, attempt to set up esptool.py with:

pip3 set up esptool

python -m pip set up esptool

pip2 set up esptool

After putting in, you’ll have esptool.py put in into the default Python executables listing and you must have the ability to run it with the command esptool.py. In your Terminal window, run the next command:

esptool.py

If it was put in correctly, it ought to show an identical message (no matter your working system):

With esptool.py put in in your pc, you’ll be able to simply flash your ESP32 or ESP8266 boards with the MicroPython firmware. This publish is split in two elements, learn Half 1 or Half 2 relying on your board:

Half 1 – ESP32

Half 2 – ESP8266

Word: after putting in MicroPython firmware on your ESP32 or ESP8266, you possibly can return and use Arduino IDE once more. You simply have to add code utilizing Arduino IDE. Then, if you wish to use MicroPython once more, you must flash MicroPython firmware.

[Part 1 – ESP32] Downloading and Flashing the MicroPython Firmware on ESP32

To obtain the newest model of MicroPython firmware for the ESP32, go to the MicroPython Downloads web page and scroll all the best way right down to the ESP32 part.

You need to see an analogous net web page (see determine under) with the newest hyperlink to obtain the ESP32 .bin file – for instance: esp32-20181007-v1.9.Four-631-g338635ccc.bin.

Word: should you’re utilizing a unique board (like a PyBoard, WiPy, or different), go to MicroPython Downloads web page and obtain the correct firmware on your board.

Discovering the Serial Port Identify

It’s a bit totally different to seek out the Serial port identify in every working system, so for simplicity causes we advocate discovering your ESP serial port identify via the Arduino IDE. Comply with these steps:

Join your board to your pc

Open the Arduino IDE

Go to Instruments > Port

Save your ESP32 serial port identify (in our case it’s COM7)

Shut your Arduino IDE software program

Essential: for those who plug your ESP32 board to your pc, however you possibly can’t discover the ESP32 Port out there in your Arduino IDE, it may be certainly one of these two issues: 1. USB drivers lacking or 2. USB cable with out knowledge wires.

1. For those who don’t see your ESP’s COM port out there, this typically means you don’t have the USB drivers put in. Take a better take a look at the chip subsequent to the voltage regulator on board and examine its identify.

The ESP32 DEVKIT V1 DOIT board makes use of the CP2102 chip.

Go to Google and seek for your particular chip to seek out the drivers and set up them in your working system.

You possibly can obtain the CP2102 drivers on the Silicon Labs web site.

After they’re put in, restart the Arduino IDE and you must see the serial port within the Instruments > Port menu.

2. When you’ve got the drivers put in, however you possibly can’t see your gadget, double-check that you simply’re utilizing a USB cable with knowledge wires.

USB cables from powerbanks typically don’t have knowledge wires (they’re cost solely). So, your pc won’t ever set up a serial communication with your ESP32. Utilizing a a correct USB cable ought to clear up your drawback.

Discovering your MicroPython .bin file

After downloading the ESP32 .bin file, it must be in your Downloads folder. So, with your Terminal window, you’ll have to navigate to the Downloads folder utilizing the cd command:

cd Downloads

Record all information in your Downloads folder to make sure that’s the place the .bin file is situated. In Home windows, you employ:

dir

On Mac OS X or Linux, run the subsequent command:

As you’ll be able to see within the previous screenshot, the ESP32 .bin file is situated within the Downloads folder: esp32-20190113-v1.9.Four-779-g5064df207.bin.

Erasing ESP32 Flash Reminiscence

Earlier than flashing the MicroPython firmware, it is advisable to erase the ESP32 flash reminiscence. So, with your ESP32 related to your pc, hold-down the “BOOT/FLASH” button in your ESP32 board:

Whereas holding down the “BOOT/FLASH” button, run the next command to erase the ESP32 flash reminiscence:

esptool.py –chip esp32 erase_flash

When the “Erasing” course of begins, you’ll be able to launch the “BOOT/FLASH” button. After a couple of seconds, the ESP32 flash reminiscence will probably be erased.

Word: if after the “Connecting …” message you retain seeing new dots showing, it signifies that your ESP32 shouldn’t be in flashing mode. It’s essential repeat all of the steps described earlier and maintain the “BOOT/FLASH” button once more to make sure that your ESP32 goes into flashing mode and completes the erasing course of efficiently.

Flashing MicroPython Firmware on ESP32 with esptool.py

Together with your ESP32 flash reminiscence erased, you possibly can lastly flash the MicroPython firmware. You want your serial port identify (COM7 in our case) and the ESP32 .bin file location. Substitute the subsequent command with your particulars:

esptool.py –chip esp32 –port <serial_port> write_flash -z 0x1000 <esp32-X.bin>

In our case, the ultimate command seems like this:

esptool.py –chip esp32 –port COM7 write_flash -z 0x1000 esp32-20190113-v1.9.Four-779-g5064df207.bin

Maintain down the “BOOT/FLASH“, earlier than operating the flash command. After a number of seconds that is what it is best to see:

Your ESP32 was efficiently flashed with MicroPython firmware!

Notice: in the event you obtain an error making an attempt to flash the firmware, run the command once more and be sure to are holding down the ESP32 “BOOT/FLASH” button.

[Part 2 – ESP8266] Downloading and Flashing the MicroPython Firmware on ESP8266

To obtain the newest model of MicroPython firmware for the ESP8266, go to the MicroPython Downloads web page and scroll all the best way right down to the ESP8266 part.

You must see an analogous net web page (see determine under) with the newest hyperlink to obtain the ESP8266 .bin file – for instance: esp8266-20180511-v1.9.Four.bin.

Observe: in case you’re utilizing a special board (like a PyBoard, WiPy, or different), go to MicroPython Downloads web page and obtain the proper firmware on your board.

Discovering the Serial Port Identify

Join your board to your pc

Open the Arduino IDE

Go to Instruments > Port

Save your ESP8266 serial port identify (in our case it’s COM4)

Shut your Arduino IDE software program

Necessary: when you plug your ESP8266 board to your pc, however you’ll be able to’t discover the ESP8266 Port out there in your Arduino, it may be certainly one of these two issues: 1. USB drivers lacking or 2. USB cable with out knowledge wires.

1. Should you don’t see your ESP’s COM port obtainable, this typically means you don’t have the USB drivers put in. Take a better take a look at the chip subsequent to the voltage regulator on board and examine its identify.

The ESP8266 ESP-12E NodeMCU board makes use of the CP2102 chip.

Go to Google and seek for your particular chip to seek out the drivers and set up them in your working system.

You possibly can obtain the CP2102 drivers on the Silicon Labs web site.

After they’re put in, restart the Arduino IDE and you need to see the serial port within the Instruments > Port menu.

2. When you’ve got the drivers put in, however you’ll be able to’t see your system, double-check that you simply’re utilizing a USB cable with knowledge wires.

USB cables from powerbanks typically don’t have knowledge wires (they’re cost solely). So, your pc won’t ever set up a serial communication with your ESP8266. Utilizing a a correct USB cable ought to remedy your drawback.

Discovering your MicroPython .bin file

After downloading the ESP8266 .bin file, it ought to be in your Downloads folder. So, with your Terminal window, you’ll have to navigate to the Downloads folder utilizing the cd command:

cd Downloads

Listing all information in your Downloads folder to make sure that’s the place the .bin file is situated. In Home windows, you employ:

dir

On Mac OS X or Linux, run the subsequent command:

As you’ll be able to see within the previous screenshot, the ESP8266 .bin file is situated within the Downloads folder: esp8266-20180511-v1.9.Four.bin.

Erasing ESP8266 Flash Reminiscence

Earlier than flashing the MicroPython firmware, you’ll want to erase the ESP8266 flash reminiscence. So, with your ESP8266 related to your pc, hold-down the “BOOT/FLASH” button in your ESP8266 board:

Whereas holding down the “BOOT/FLASH” button, run the next command to erase the ESP8266 flash reminiscence:

esptool.py –chip esp8266 erase_flash

When the “Erasing” course of begins, you possibly can launch the “BOOT/FLASH” button. After a couple of seconds, the ESP8266 flash reminiscence shall be erased.

Notice: if after the “Connecting …” message you retain seeing new dots showing, it signifies that your ESP8266 is just not in flashing mode. You could repeat all of the steps described earlier and maintain the “BOOT/FLASH” button once more to make sure that your ESP8266 goes into flashing mode and completes the erasing course of efficiently.

Flashing MicroPython Firmware on ESP8266 with esptool.py

Together with your ESP8266 flash reminiscence erased, you’ll be able to lastly flash the MicroPython firmware. You want your serial port identify (COM7 in our case) and the ESP8266 .bin file location. Substitute the subsequent command with your particulars:

esptool.py –chip esp8266 –port <serial_port> write_flash –flash_mode dio –flash_size detect 0x0 <esp8266-X.bin>

In our case, the ultimate command appears like this:

esptool.py –chip esp8266 –port COM4 write_flash –flash_mode dio –flash_size detect 0x0 esp8266-20180511-v1.9.Four.bin

Maintain down the “BOOT/FLASH“, earlier than operating the flash command. After a couple of seconds that is what you must see:

Your ESP8266 was efficiently flashed with MicroPython firmware!

Notice: in the event you obtain an error making an attempt to flash the firmware, run the command once more and be sure to are holding down the ESP8266 “BOOT/FLASH” button.
