micropython-async-websocket-client 0.3.3

Asynchronous websocket client for ESP32 controller.

This module is only for micropython!

micropython-async_websocket_client

This module is designed for ESP32 (and other) controllers.

Target: create and keep alive connection channel with websocket server.

You may send captured data from controlled devices through this channel to server and accept managing signals on your controller.

This data channel works as background task while main control cycle is running too. The break of websocket channel doesn't corrupt main cycle of control.

Module supports TLS with both client and server certificates.

This project based on:

My gratitudes to authors.

requirements

This module is designed and tested on ESP32S-WROOM-32.

Development and tests were done based on ESP32-20250415-v1.25.0.bin.

installation

Through network

Run this commands on your controller:

You have to reflash your board with [micropython](https://micropython.org/).
Details are explained in https://github.com/Vovaman/start_ESP32_with_micropython.
You may use VSCode as explained in link above or use `picocom` tool (also explained) to connect your board and run python console (REPL) on it.
So, after you are in your board...

>>> import network
>>> wifi = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
>>> wifi.active(1)
>>> wifi.connect(<name_of_your_wifi_net>, <wifi_password>)
>>> import mip
>>> mip.install("github:Vovaman/micropython_async_websocket_client/async_websocket_client/ws.py")

Manual

You have just copy ws.py file to /lib folder in controller.

Example with mpremote:

$ mpremote fs mkdir /lib
$ mpremote fs cp async_websocket_client/ws.py :/lib/

All needed dependencies are in firmware.
