🚀 Phase 00_Practice: First Run 🌍

"Uplink established. Executing the first continuous loop directly on the hardware."

This guide walks you through connecting your IDE to the flashed ESP8266, creating the main boot file, and running your very first script.

---

🔌 ESTABLISHING THE CONNECTION

1. Launch the IDE: Open Thonny on your system.
2. Switch the Interpreter: Look at the bottom right corner of the Thonny window. Click on the text displaying your local Python version (e.g., "Local Python 3") and change it to MicroPython (ESP8266).

💾 WRITING THE SCRIPT

1. Locate the Files pane on the left side of Thonny.
2. Under the MicroPython device section, create a new file and name it main.py.
3. Open main.py and paste the following script:

from utime import sleep

while 1:
    print('Good byee world')
    sleep(1)
