There's a reasonable chance that if you download install vgkits-vanguard ( https://pypi.org/project/vgkits-vanguard/ ) that you can simply run... vanguard brainwash micropython vanguard shell ...and the first line will install 1.9.4 Micropython, and the second will launch a terminal.

If you care about it running on Windows, you might want to track my https://github.com/vgkits/vgkits-vanguard/blob/master/vgkits/miniterm.py which has fixes for some major cross-platform issues in miniterm, ( https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial/pull/351 ). You can test it out as 'vanguard shell' vi...

Incidentally I am curious to know if I can get my 'vanguard shell' command to autodetect and connect for you, (which I have been engineering to try and get around the problems people face getting terminals installed and configured properly to connect to Micropython boards). You can investigate it at...

I put together a modified version of Miniterm which addresses several issues which combine to explain problems people have using Miniterm on Windows Python, like this https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial/issues/350#issuecomment-395713660 It is rollup of a fairly major fix for Windows terminal code-h...

As part of the development of VGkits' resources around the Vanguard board I've put together a new package distributed via PyPI. It's called vgkits-vanguard and it provides for incredibly simple cross-platform operations such as launching a shell, or reflashing an ESP8266 board. More operations can b...

When I have been forced occasionally buy from elsewhere (e.g. needing an urgent UK order to be fulfilled) to f...

Are you using the default address when you click Connect ? As a temporary workaround, you could try deploying the image https://github.com/vgkits/vanguard/blob/master/utilities/flash/firmwares/vanguard-0.1.0.img which was created on a NodeMCU-M by running the deployall.py routine from https://github...

Just a note to say finally the website, social media resources and all-important launch video are up at https://vgkits.org Would be great to get everyones' feedback, although the resources are focused for high-school computer science teachers, so there's a deliberate lack of emphasis on technical/fl...

Hi @nikhiledutech It's not surprising your posting has taken more than a week for anyone to reply. Here is a code sample which recreates your issue... >>> calculated = (3,4,5) << 4 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: unsupported types for __lshift__: 'tu...
