There're 2 cases: 1. If you build ESP8266 port from source, [snip] 2. A separate issue was brought, how to install binary releases. [snip] Thanks - that makes sense. A suggestion: I'm sure it would be relatively easy to insert the option in the command line for 'make deploy' such that you could spe...

To sum stuff (yep, this needs to be compiled into complete instructions): You have to use --flash_size=8m or more when flashing MicroPython binary. pfalcon, I am confused! I was originally using the style of flashing command: esptool.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 115200 write_flash --flash_size=8m 0 bl...

OK this has affected me now as well - but I think I know why it happened. This is the output I get when I flash the board: Performing initial setup Traceback (most recent call last): File "_boot.py", line 11, in <module> File "inisetup.py", line 37, in setup File "inisetup.py", line 9, in wifi OSErr...

I'd be interested to know if people have experienced file system corruption as a result of simply executing some code. This is as opposed to a system crash, or rebooting it when it is anyway doing some file system work. The latter case is to be expected - many OS can damage the file system if they a...

Thanks.

I tried a bit of hacking on it but so far have only succeeded in trashing the file system!

I'll work on it some more...

I am investigating the possibilities for deploying ESP chips with Micropython in situations where it would not be practical to physically retrieve the chip and reflash it just because it trashed the file system. How do I get Micropython to reformat the file system without having to reflash? Obviousl...

@warren Let's please not fuck with Adafruit. They are an amazingly good force in our community of makers. They also distribute the Pyboard. Let's talk to Damien about this before we go and piss them off. I was only suggesting a mildly tongue-in-cheek way of getting their attention . It's precisely ...

If you have a system where you are accustomed to having to SUDO to do some things, you might want to check this out: Assuming you want to add modules to the firmware build, it works first time - the modules are added. But then if you remove modules (from ESP8266/modules) or change the content of exi...

Personally I don't think that Adafruit cares about MicroPython at all. Their tutorial for compiling MicroPython for the ESP8266 comes in the top of Google search results, yet it is hopelessly outdated and simply doesn't work. Like every net-company staffed by young and trendies, they will be suscep...

What are the prospects of these nodeMCU type boards eventually being made available pre loaded with python - similar to the pyboard? Hi Ridley, I sympathise with you. I have done a lot of commercial and hobbyist hacking/electronics/programming over quite a period of time. But getting to a stable si...
