Ok, thanks! Yea, I was mainly asking about your comment "if it stops for any reason". I should have mentioned I'm already familiar with the try/except format, but was looking for a "global" version to do something if my board dies this way and I didn't have the try/except around the culprit

I'm using this command to flash (which by they way I did try to totally wipe and start over):

esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 460800 write_flash --flash_size=detect -fm dio 0 esp8266-20170108-v1.8.7.bin

So not sure what changed, but up till now I've been doing the following to "watch" the board running and whatever print statements I have with a serial terminal based on the following steps: 1) plug in the board usb to PC 2) start up termite serial terminal 3) connect to com12 at 115200 bps 4) hit t...

I notice that when my python has an error, I get the REPL prompt on serial. Is there a way to do something in code when this exception happens, like blink an LED for example? Where is this REPL prompt coming from? Is it embedded in the micropython binary to go to that for unhandled exceptions? Justin

Hi,
I must not be searching for the right wording, because I can't find a good way to determine the ram/rom left on a nodeMCU. I looked at the os and machine imports but don't see anything there that looks right. Anyone know a good way?

Dave Hylands' rshell is so good I've long believed it should be recommended in the official documentation. The proliferation of utilities of varying quality is potentially confusing. I use rshell exclusively on ESP8266 and Pyboards. Fair enough. I lived with the frustration that is Ampy (from adafr...

...Just have one line in main.py: "import main_too" and put my old main.py into main_too.py (and compile to main_too.mpy) That is generally the best way to work (whether or not you cross-compile). You debug your module at the REPL and then amend the one-line main.py when you want it to auto-run. If...

Well I actually went to using Termite 3.3. Still not all that happy with it, but it's been the one I stuck with. Teraterm kept having the wrong encoding. Termite doesn't seem to support paste mode (control-e) and it's history is annoying.

Just a quick update, not sure if you've ever tried uPyLoader but if not it's WAY better than ampy.

Well I've been doing a different projects, and have been using ampy as it was the best thing I could find to quickly and easily upload files, but now I just found upyloader! https://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2245 I can't tell you how much happier I am with that! It allows you to com...
