Hi.
I never tried PyCharm with MicroPythom.
What code are you trying to run?

Hi Sara,

Still stuck on:
ESP8266 Web Sever – Blink – 192.168.1.148
Chap 4 – Web Server Example
Project Overview – page 162 (MicroPython_Programming_with_ESP32_and_ESP8266_V1_2.pdf)
Trying over wifi to toggle ESP8266 on-board LEDs

Could you or Rui take a look at it in Pycharm?
Thanks
Gary

Hi.
What’s the plugin that you’re using to program micropython with Pycharm?
Regards,
Sara

1. In Pycharm at the very top next   File   Edit  View etc
2. Actually click on Pycharm
3. You will see – 

1. 1. About Pycharm
   2. Check for updates
   3. Preferences 

    4. Choose Preferences

1. 1. Go to Languages  
   2. Choose Micropython
   3. Enable Micropython
   4. Choose Device type ESP8266
   5. Apply 
   6. OK

5. Back in the main window you should see Missing Micropython package 
Click on it were is says Missing Micropython package
It will install automatically
6. Allow it to Finnish
7. Then go to main – click 
8. At the very bottom left
Edit Configuration Template
Click on Micropython
Enter to project path – you already did this but you have to repeat  
9. Finally go back to your file chose it and right click, on Mac that’s fn+ control- mouse click
10. Abot 70% down you will see ‘Run Flash….’ – Your project
11. At the top RHS where is said main, it should say Flash….’ – Your project
12. At this stage if you go to the top: Tools – Micropython – Micropython – Micropython-Repl
13. Now you should see a Micropython prompt
 

Thanks for looking at PyCharm
I have tried and failed trying
Rui’s https://github.com/RuiSantosdotme/ESP-MicroPython/tree/master/code/WiFi/Web_Server_Output_Simple
with both Thommy and PyCharm
Thanks,
Gary

I forgot you have to install the MP plung-in

A Micropython limitation for both Thommy & PyCharm is you must have a ‘main.py’  
 

Hi.
I tried Pycharm and got it working if used only main.py.
Copy the contents of boot.py to the beginning of your main.py file.

Hi Sara,

SOMMETIMES!!!   get PyCharm woking – It’s infinity better than Thommy, but much more couple

Thanks,
Gary

Unfortunately, there isn’t an ideal IDE for micropython.
 
I’ll mark this issue as resolved.
If you need further help, you just need to open a new question in our forum.

Hi Sara
Can you tell me what it would take to get PyCharm
You had mentionaned a possible Tutorial…. any more thoughts
I am sure there would be considerable demand.
I certainly would be integrated
Damien used https://www.kickstarter.com
Thanks
Gary

Hi Gary.
 
After trying PyCharm, I decided that I won’t create any tutorials about it at the moment.
First, because I think the other IDEs we recommend are more intuitive.
Second, I couldn’t get it working with boot.py and main.py—only with main.py.
And finally, it is only compatible with the ESP8266. Many of our readers use both the ESP32 and ESP8266.

Sara
