Re: Continuity Tester

There's no service line coming into the panel yet. I was hoping to use UART to test the ground, since once I have that tested, I can use it to test continuity by putting a low voltage pulse on the hot. Can I have one board with TX on one port and another board with RX on one of its port? Do the two ...

Re: Continuity Tester

None of the lines are hot. No power connected as yet. Concern with UART is that I think you need two lines: RCV and TRX receive and transmit. This would require that I have confirmed ground line continuity. I'm trying to send a signal down one line and confirm reception at the other end. I'm trying ...

Continuity Tester

I'm trying to figure out a way to test continuity over a long distance with two ESP32s or ESP8266s (there's no wifi/bt involved, so either board with work and I have a bunch of both). This is not testing the continuity of the ESP circuit, but rather external circuits. The environment is a new garage...

Re: Visual Studio Code and rshell

I have not. The online reviews seem mixed, but I'll give it a try. Some have reported a problem that's similar to what I experienced with PyMakr (which I had to uninstall).

Visual Studio Code and rshell

I've recently started using rshell for my projects and have been using Visual Studio Code for a while to edit the Micropython code. VS Code works well, but uploading, testing, debugging, etc. was inconvenient using Kitty and Ampy. So I started using rshell and realized that I could run rshell from a...

Re: rshell and wildcards

cp "*.py" /pyboard/ gives me the same error. I'm wondering if the long path is causing a problem. The full path is "/Users/MyUserName/OneDrive - mycompanyname, Inc/Development/Automation/Python Projects/ThisProject". I am not specifying the full path in the wildcard but I'm also not specifying it w...

rshell and wildcards

I'm starting to use rshell after amp stopped working for some reason. I was using powershell scripts to copy the files via ampy but now am converting those scripts for rshell. My issue is that when I use a wildcard (*.py). If I use "cp *.py /pyboard/" I get "File....boot.py does'nt exist" for the so...

Re: Code not working on 1 board but fine on other two

The board had worked when it was flashed with Arduino. But I'm also using a different computer now, going through a USB hub built into the monitor. Maybe I'll try my other PC, where I use a powered USB hub. Bought a few new boards and will see if they work. Will also try 1.16 with all of them to see...

Re: Code not working on 1 board but fine on other two

More clarification: all boards are identical; the leds, buttons and MAX7219s operate as expected with two boards, but on one the buttons don't register and the leds don't display as they should. Bad board?

Code not working on 1 board but fine on other two

I have 3 ESP32 boards. I got it to the point where the code was doing all as expected on the breadboard, so I erased, flashed and loaded code on another ESP32 and it stopped working. I did the same on a 3rd and it worked fine. What might cause one board to not operate properly? Using v1.13 because a...
