That seems kind of self-evident now that you mention it... In which case what I'm trying to send is not bytes but 8 arbitrary bits. Sending a byte array to the spi now lets me toggle the outputs as needed so that's good but there must be a more pythonic way of sending my bit string. I'm currently ju...

Ok, wired up everything with a nano and followed the basic tutorial here: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ShiftOut Everything works as intended. if I transfer mosi/sck/latch from the nano to the ESP8266, the problem reverts back to where I started (only 8th bit output works). I've replicated this...

Latch was specifically called out and so often SS is chosen for that pin that I thought it might help to explcitly set the others as OUT. I've removed those lines but the issue persists. I know the other side's outputs work, as on reset they go floating and the LED on that side lights on/off/flicker...

After much wrangling, I have my esp8266 operating my shift register...mostly. My issue at the moment is I can only toggle the first input (Qa) on the chip AND the first input toggles on the last byte sent (which makes sense now that I think about it). As far as I can tell, input is a simple "drive l...

Curious to know an answer to this myself. Got an HC05 bluetooth module today and I'm trying to make it work. Couldn't make much out of the posted thread, though. My understanding is UART 0 is...used by the REPL or something and UART 1 works, but only for TX (which won't work for me). I finally got t...

Props to Cefn for his help while I was "indisposed" during that confusing turn of events. I changed the way the string gets concatenated/lowered the gc threshold and monitored the memory usage while trying to replicate the error. After running the specific function alone on a spare board I've determ...

edit: pared the code down to a simple "write results of wlan.scan() to file" as a starting point to debug the issue. Still eventually run into the same problem; the script hangs after a while. Running latest firmware on an ESP8266 and I'm having an issue that doesn't seem to be giving me an exceptio...
