ROS 2 Embedded: How to Run Python Code on ESP32 S3 with CircuitPython
This video guides you through setting up CircuitPython and the Thonny IDE to execute Python code directly on your ESP32 S3 board.
This setup is the foundation for using the rclcpy CircuitPython module, which allows your ESP32 S3 to connect to a ROS 2 network using the micro-ROS protocol.
In this tutorial, you will learn:
✅ How to flash CircuitPython onto the ESP32 S3
✅ Configuring the Thonny IDE interpreter for the ESP32 S3
✅ Running simple Python code directly on the microcontroller
✅ Viewing console output and debugging
This setup is crucial for future videos where we will establish full ROS 2 communication (Node, Publisher, Subscriber) using micro-ROS.
