How do I get similar with what that code actually means, especially the frozen part? Also main.py is in the root of the file system has far as I can tell.
>>> os.listdir('')
['boot.py', 'main.py']
>>>

Main only executes when I am already logged into the REPL and issue machine.reset() or cmd+D or soft reset. When I do that all works fine. If I power cycle the unit main.py does not execute. I don't know how to further troubleshoot this. Any help would be appreciated.

Any thoughts?

I created the main.py on the raspberryPI, then transferred it to the esp32 by being already logged into the ESP32, then using the command "cp main.py /pyboard/" each time that I modify main.py I use the same procedure. I edit the file on the Pi and then transfer it to the ESP32 using the cp command....

I do see the normal >>>. Is there any other reason main.py wouldn't be called? So far I have set a variable at the last line of boot.py and I see this variable when I run dir() from the REPL, I also set a variable on the first line of main.py and I do not see this when I run dir()

Moving items between boot.py and main.py leads me to conclude that main.py is not being executed. How can I look under the hood and figure this out? How do I check PYEXEC_MODE_FRIENDLY_REPL mode? How do I determine if raw mode (Ctrl.A) is set? should I try to call main.py explicitly?

I only need the repl during testing and troubleshooting. It will run unattended

So in the case where I want to continuously monitor something, in this case a temperature; how do I accomplish that? Do I call a function from main that initiates an never ending loop? Do I use the scheduler module instead? What would be the best practice? Also based on my experience, in this specif...

I moved everything from main.py to boot.py and it seems to be working after a reboot now; however now I don't seem to be able to connect to the ESP32 with rshell. I suspect its because of the never ending while loop (in boot.py). Can anyone confirm this?

No luck getting the led to energize, on boot. I am baffled because the code works each time I connect remotely from a windows 7 machine to the RaspberryPi using MobaXterm, then connect to the ESP32 using rshell everything works perfectly. When I initially connect I only have a blank RELP >>>, at thi...
