OK, I realise that everyone knows this except for me, but I am not experienced in compiling and understanding github repos. So if I want to use frozen code, I need to compile myself, so I have installed the toolchains, but where do I find the source code for the current latest official release so th...

Is it possible to create a 8266 build environment on OSX without having to install brew etc ?? If so, does anyone have any install instructions as the instructions here fails: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/tree/master/esp8266 make Makefile:181: warning: overriding commands for target `E...

@roberthh - thanks, I just received some new wroom boards and thought that I would compile and try the very latest and your original uftp server is working now, I have not tried your updated version. Any idea what the ram usage is for it ?? Many Thanks Update I just tried your latest version and tha...

I thought that I had this cracked, based on the calcs in this thread: https://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic.php?t=2778 But the value of 0.046875 MB free space just can't be correct ?? def dfree(): bits = statvfs('/flash') print(bits) blksize = bits[0] # 4096 blkfree = bits[3] # 12 freesize = blksi...

Peter - thanks, but after reading through that it appears that the issue was fixed ??

I am using the in-built RTC on the 8266 to deepsleep for an hour, but it seems to be highly inaccurate, although it's repeatability seems to be OK. secs = 3600 rtc = mc.RTC() rtc.irq(trigger=rtc.ALARM0, wake=mc.DEEPSLEEP) rtc.alarm(rtc.ALARM0, (secs*1000)) In sleeping for 1 hour, it wakes up on aver...

OK, just found the cause, there's no on-board pullup so you need to use the soft pullups:

Device is ESP-12F (8266). I am unable to read DHT sensor on PIN 4 & 5, it works OK on pin 0. I have tested pins 4 & 5 as an input buy pulling high and reading value and as an output by connecting a LED, both work fine and as expected There is nothing else connected to pins 4 & 5, attempting to measu...

@Roberthh - thanks for sharing your tools, I have tried the ftp server, and although I have files / folders on the device, the ftp server does not appear to list them. I can see the command executed on the device, but no files ! >>> from apps import uftpserver Command=USER, Payload=anonymous, Path=/...

@deshipu - Thanks, that works very well.

I did not know that if you modified variables in a imported module, that it would retain those values when imported into another.
