Re: How robust is MicroPython file system?
MicroPython currently supports two filesystems, FAT32 and LittleFS (there are also a couple of hybrid options for the STM32 and ESP32). FAT32 is not particularly resilient and can easily be corrupted in the event of a power failure. LittleFS has been designed to be robust even in the face of power ...

Re: How robust is MicroPython file system?
You haven't told us what hardware you're using. If it's a Pyboard you may be hitting this issue . On other platforms the problem is most likely to be electrical power related. Although code which fails leaving files open can corrupt any filesystem: use Python context managers to ensure this doesn't...

How robust is MicroPython file system?
Hi there, I have used MicroPython before for a few projects and I really liked how easy is to write powerful apps with such an ease. But the problem that I very often run into is damaging the file system. For example, if the code run into a problem, I programmed to perform restart of the board or if...

Re: Lolin board erase everything from flash
The board is so tiny, it wouldn't surprise me if it had no such function. A good idea might be to hook it up to a cell phone charger battery. I bought one for my Rpi and it keeps the thing powered for 3 days on one charge. It would be best if the cell phone charger battery has both an in port and a...

Re: Unable to operate with flash on Lolin board
Here is something that might help... with the Ampy software I always include the -d1 option. The -d1 option adds a one-second delay before ampy tries to use the raw REPL mode of operation. Using the option fixed the Ampy program hangs that I was seeing. Thanks, I will try your solution and update y...
