Soft Watchdog

What is wrong with this, it is as per the documentation: https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp8266/library/machine.WDT.html >>> import machine >>> wdt = machine.WDT(timeout=2000) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: function does not take keyword arg...

Re: Weemos Mini Pro works well but hard resets when entering REPL

Thanks, yes it is a mini-lite, my mistake.

I have corrected the thread title.

Re: Weemos Mini Pro works well but hard resets when entering REPL

Robert, the schematic shows CP2104, but the actual device fitted to the board is a CH340G. I have tried all possible combinations of flow control using CoolTerm and all result with the same thing, a hard reset. This also explains why when you use a utility such as ampy to transfer files, it fails an...

Re: Weemos Mini Pro works well but hard resets when entering REPL

Now I understand what you mean, and yes this is the cause, all the while I thought that it was some firmware anomaly with the 8285 device. I just connected my scope and the reset line is indeed pulled low for a full 4 seconds (not 200us) and GPIO0 pulled low for 100ms whenever you enter REPL via ser...

Re: Weemos Mini Pro works well but hard resets when entering REPL

Hi Robert; I am using OSX built-in screen command, same as I use for ESP-12 and ESP32, the setup and code being executed is 100% identical. If I connect a ESP-12 to the terminal, start a loop, logout and in again, the loop continues to run, if I then detach, disconnect and connect the weemos, and do...

Re: ESP8285 (weemos mini pro) restart on entering REPL

Peter, thanks, but I have read that thread several times before and just re-read it again and I don't see anything that refers to the device rebooting when entering REPL Mode. Maybe I did not make it clear before, the device flashes fine, I can load and run any and all of my code that runs on the ES...

Re: ESP8285 (weemos mini pro) restart on entering REPL

Bump;

Would someone mind verifying this for me as right now it makes it impossible to use a serial REPL for debugging !

Many Thanks

Weemos Mini Lite works well but hard resets when entering REPL

I have noticed that the weemos mini-lite with onboard 8285 instead of 8266 reboots whenever you enter REPL via the serial console.

Can someone else verify this ??

Entering REPL in the same way on a ESP12 does not cause a reboot of the device.

Different memory usage in identical devices

Can't figure this out, I have 2 identical ESP12/8266 devices and have disabled boot.py and main.py and when I compare the memory usage of both devices they are different, one has about 5% less available than the other. This is resulting in one of them not being able to run code that the other one ca...
