Thanks for the suggestion! I considered using the UART handshake lines to streamline the bootloader operation but stopped short of that when I had enough to make it work. Maybe later.

Hi! I recently successfully flashed two ESP-01s using esptool.py hosted on a MacBook Pro. My connection to the ESP-01 was through a Sparkfun serial breakout but probably any breakout will work. I’ve attached a schematic of my hookup that might help. Ignore the connection for the OLED display. The li...

Since the ESP-01 is not breadboard friendly, I decided to build a little jig to program them. It uses a Sparkfun USB-C serial interface and has a socket for a generic 128x64 OLED display as well. Now that the PicoW is available I probably won't be buying any more ESP-01 versions of the esp8266 but l...

Sorry for asking a for the obvious: did you connect your Pico W to WiFi, e.g. an Access Point before testing?

Duh! That's it! I have boot.py do that on the ESP's but not on my PicoW's. I hadn't added that because I'm just getting accustomed to having a Pico with WiFi. Thank you!

I never use Thonny. I upload the scripts to the boards using the mpremote.py tool. See https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... s/mpremote or use pip.

I'll give that a try.

Yes. Pico W.

Huh! Well I'll keep working at it but it is weird to me that I can just swap boards and interpreters in Thonny and run the identical script on the ESP modules and it works as expected.

That's strange. I had tested that with a July firmware and a recently built firmware. Both built by myself. Just now I tried an Image from the download site, which also works fine with the UDP test.

PicoWs?

Thanks for the reply. I don’t get any different response using your code.

I do appreciate the tuple of aphorisms. I’ll make fun use of those!

Perhaps things will magically change in a later nightly build as has happened in the past for this port.

I've started a new project. Having tired of digging for door keys with an armload of groceries and already having my security gate/garage door fob in my hand when I get to the door I decided to use a spare button on the fob to unlock my door. I wanted a solution that would have the least impact on t...

I have discovered that MicroPython code that executes correctly on an ESP32/ESP-01 pair does not work at all on my PicoWs with this MicroPython build: MicroPython v1.19.1 on 2022-08-02; Raspberry Pi Pico W with RP2040 # UDP Talker import socket UDP_IP = "10.0.1.XX" #must be the ip address:port of li...
