The Aiko Engine MP is compatible with Aiko Services, which is a distributed system that supports embedded devices as networked Services.

cd aiko_engine_mp
The master
branch supports the majority of hardware options. However, the
SwagBadge 2022
is currently supported on the
swagbadge_2022
development branch
git checkout swagbadge_2022
Ensure you have a compatible hardware board and compatible microPython port
Make sure you have a Python virtual environment set-up, including virtualenvwrapper
Create mkvirtualenv micropython
and work on the new virtual environment
workon micropython
Install esptool
and mpfshell
pip install esptool
pip install -U mpfshell
Plug in your ESP32 device and make sure you can see it,
e.g ls -l /dev/tty.*
will show a serial device file like /dev/ttyUSB0
or /dev/tty.wchserial1410
Export the serial port to an environment variable, so mpfshell
can use it,
e.g export AMPY_PORT=<device_file>
where device_file
is the device file
shown by the ls -l
command above
Download latest microPython
Note: The SwagBadge 2022 currently requires microPython version 1.17
Flash microPython
./scripts/flash_micropython.sh
Run the Aiko Engine MP flash script, which loads this firmware onto the device
./scripts/mpf_script.sh ./scripts/aiko.mpf
For microPython development, the Thonny IDE is highly recommended
Note: For Lolin32-Lite boards, the serial port can be notoriously problematic
and requires a slight delay in order for the connection to occur properly.
If you're seeing errors that look like Could not enter raw repl
then this is probably related.
For mpfshell
(version v0.9.1 and earlier) on Mac OS X or Windows, this
problem may be fixed via this patch
