Re: MicroPython and flash memory issues

Dear Roberthh, thanks a lot! What you said about BytesIO and open really cleared up my mind. Thanks! Regarding files and RAM, if I understood correctly, you suggest that I exploit the advantages of IO type set of methods and i.e. you suggest that I break the file into many partial ones or use method...

Re: MicroPython and flash memory issues

Once again thank you for your precious help! The open("filename.txt", ..) seems to work ok. At least I can see it in the /flash directory.

Re: MicroPython and flash memory issues
