micropython-uasyncio-uwebsockets-modules

Patched uasyncio and @danni's uwebsockets as modules to compile into Micropython firmware.

Get:

The Lazy way:

If you are the sort doesn't mind downloading binary firmware from some website and running on your machines, get the firmware here:

https://github.com/hiway/micropython-uasyncio-uwebsockets-modules/releases/tag/0.1

I have built the firmware from latest micropython source as of 16 Dec with only the .py files in this repository added to modules.

The Other Way

If you prefer to compile your own firmware, I'll assume you have the toolchain set up already. If not, here's a great tutorial:

https://learn.adafruit.com/building-and-running-micropython-on-the-esp8266/overview

Once you have that up and running, locate the correct directory within your micropython repo:

micropython/esp8266/modules/

Copy the files into modules directory, and run make while in micropython/esp8266 directory.

Flash the firmware.

In serial/websocket REPL:

>>> import test_ws
RECV Hello, world!

Why?

So you can write async websocket clients (http only!) on your ESP8266 :-D

import uasyncio as asyncio
import uwebsockets.client as websockets


async def test_websockets(endpoint):
    async with websockets.connect(endpoint) as websocket:
        await websocket.send('Hello, world!')
        echo = await websocket.recv()
        print('RECV', echo)


loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(test_websockets('ws://echo.websocket.org/'))
