Strange behaviour with Thonny/standalone

Hi I have some simple code running on a Pico W which does the following: Establishes a Wifi connection to my network Repeatedly takes temperatures from a sensor Sends them to my MQTT broker Flashes the onboard Pi Pico W LED each time it publishes. I have a main.py programme, and several other librar...

@mcauser:

That works *perfectly*!

Thank you so much...

Re: I2C EEPROM on uPy/ESP8266?

Just to confirm, I have the 25AA512 running at 3.3 volts. There are two pullup resistors to +3.3v - one on scl and one on sda. i2c.scan() returns an address for the EEPROM (80) A write command does NOT return any error: >>> i2c.writeto_mem(0x50, 0, bytearray([104, 101, 108, 108, 111, 32])) >>> If I ...

Re: Problem with Multiple ESP8266 and MQTT. Blocked Sockets?

This is only tangential to this specific thread, but I am learning that often with ESP units, lateral thinking can yield surprising results! I spent the best part of a week doing various tests with multiple ESP8266 units sharing a common MQTT server. The initial observations led me to believe that i...

Re: I2C EEPROM on uPy/ESP8266?

Warren, did you succeed ? Nope. I hit a brick wall and was considering getting another EEPROM to see if that was the issue...but now I read your post and the one from mikruth I see that there is probably an issue with the code... My goal is to store on eeprom a timestamp (unix) and a value from a s...

Re: I2C EEPROM on uPy/ESP8266?

Thanks for the extra info - helpful.. Was there a pause between writeto_mem() and readfrom_mem(). Yes, I was entering the lines manually and waited between write and read instructions. If I use the freq=50000 as in your code, it generates errors when reading. I had to reduce the freq to 20000 Does t...

Re: I2C EEPROM on uPy/ESP8266?

i2c.readfrom_mem + i2c.writeto_mem is what you are after. http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp8266/library/machine.I2C.html >>> from machine import I2C, Pin >>> i2c = I2C(scl=Pin(5), sda=Pin(4), freq=50000) >>> i2c.scan() Read 11 bytes starting at memory address 0 >>> i2c.readfrom_mem(0x50, 0,...

Re: I2C EEPROM on uPy/ESP8266?

If you just want to read/write data, the existing I2C lib works well. At least, I used that for a quick hack, and just followed the examples in the doc, believe it or not, here: http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp8266/library/machine.I2C.html?highlight=i2c and here: http://docs.micropython.or...

I2C EEPROM on uPy/ESP8266?

Hi,

I want to add an i2c EEPROM to an ESP sensors - is there any existing code / library available that I can use/modify?

Thanks

Re: WDT

sleepTime() is a function that puts the device to deepsleep. But the device executes the callback and goes into deepsleep as soon as it starts. [Sorry if some of this strikes you as basic, but I try to reply in a way that less experienced folks can also benefit from...this is what really helped me ...
