Python script for fast uploading files into NodeMCU ESP modules

esp-nodemcu-lua-uploader

Scripts for fast uploading many files at once into NodeMCU ESP modules.

Note: The original Python script for fast file uploading was written and shared by Markus Gritsch in article Lightning-Fast File Uploads on ESP8266 Community Forum. The original scripts along with some usage instructions are stored for convenience at: https://github.com/dev-lab/esp-nodemcu-lua-uploader-org .

Installation

1. Make sure that Python 2.7 and pyserial are installed.
2. Copy the content of this repository into some directory on the local drive, e.g.: C:\Proggy\ESP8266\uploader.
3. Change the environment variable ESP_LUA_PYTHON_DIR in uploader.bat to point to the directory where the python scripts are installed.
4. Copy uploader.bat to the directory from where you are going to execute it (or make it available in any convenient directory listed in PATH environment variable).
5. In case if your NodeMCU module is flashed with older NodeMCU (e.g. 0.9.5) change uploader.bat to invoke uploader.py instead of uploader1.py (uploader1.py is a patched script which works ok with new NodeMCU firmware built using NodeMCU custom builds).
6. Modify com_port variable in uploader1.py (or uploader.py if required) to point to serial port which is connected with NodeMCU ESP8266 module.

Usage

• Configure your ESP module to communicate on 115200 baud rate as described in https://github.com/dev-lab/esp-nodemcu-lua-uploader-org , or change the baud_rate variable in uploader1.py to baud rate supported by your ESP module.
• Pass to uploader.bat the directory with files to upload to NodeMCU ESP module and watch the process in console window. In case of error you will see the corresponding message.
