Also, in your original example, it looked like there were 3 extra bytes, not 2. (len(b'\x00\x00F') == 3, the F is not a hex digit but the ASCII character b'F' == b'\x46')

This is not a bug, false positives in pointer detection are expected and, as stijn mentions, do not affect the correctness of GC operation. Watch jimmo’s talk at https://melbournemicropythonmeetup.gith ... 20-Meetup/ for more details about how the garbage collector works.

To Christian: I have heard about CircuitPython. What I've not seen, though, is an in-depth comparison between them. For example, I've heard that CircuitPython supports a single API across all devices, rather than tuning a different API to each device. Clearly simpler to use, but at some performance...

I start to suspect that MicroPython is not targeted at beginners. You are probably right about this. To name the elephant in the room, are you aware of CircuitPython ? It’s a fork of MicroPython with the express purpose of being friendly to beginners, at the expense of some of the power and control...

Read the docs to learn what match() does. It is not what you want, it only matches at the beginning of the string. ure doesn’t seem to have a function to get multiple matches (that would be re.findall() or re.finditer() in CPython), so you’ll have to do that yourself using repeated application of ur...

But you can use pyboard.py to copy files after you used esptool.py to install MicroPython. Works fine in a script if you put a sleep 5 or something between them to let MicroPython boot.

Someone had a similar problem here related to their WiFi environment – worth a try if the usual measures don’t help.

>robert@mountain-cabin:~/micropython-1.14/tools$ pyboard.py /dev/ttyACM0 blinkpico.py bash: pyboard.py: command not found Naming a command without a path does not search in the current directory, only in the $PATH environment variable. To run an executable from the current directory, say ./pyboard....

Did you erase the flash before installing MicroPython ( esptool.py erase_flash )? The ESP8266 remembers in flash whether WiFi was on and what network it was connected to, and tries to restore that at boot. Maybe it has stale information there. On the first boot after erasing the flash (when no files...
