One other thing, if you're running on esp8266 using the full uredis.Redis class will take up most if not all of the esp8266's memory. Take a look at http://micropython-redis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html#the-uredis-modular-classes for information on how to pull in just the components you need....

I finally have a bit of a working proof of concept for one thing I'm dong with redis. redis-cloudclient is a simple client that connects out to a redis server and watches a simple queue for incoming commands. It also uses the redis server for storage. Currently the only operation it supports is exec...

There are multiple ways to do it, but the method I've been using on the esp8266 is: Clone the micropython repo from github. Build and install micropython unix. Go into the root micropython directory and "make clean" Change into the esp8266 directory. Install the micropython-redis package to the esp8...

I just did some updates to the redis client to decrease the resource usage. Now that I have the redis functionality I need working on the esp8266 I created a module that implements a subset of the hotqueue module functionality. MicroPython v1.8.1-87-g7ddd85f-dirty on 2016-06-27; ESP module with ESP8...

A few things about the wipy that weren't mentioned here. The wipy does not support floating point. while the esp8266 does. The wipy boards don't have onboard power, so using it without the expansion board requires an external power supply. The wipy firmware does not get frequent updates. The current...

I have been aiming to have my micropython boards easier to configure. So I have been working on a configuration system that works similar to how particle IoT devices are configured (which is similar to configuring a chromecast for that matter). At this point I have the basic configuration functional...

I generally use pycharm to do my development on the wipy. My notes on getting it set up with the wipy are here http://wipy-tools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration_pycharm.html In the document "Pycom Pymakr Beta Release 1.0.0.b1 Notes - 27 April 2016" we can read : Works * Built-in REPL console ...

I like what you have started. Have you considered running redis and using the redis bindings I have working? The redis protocol is a fairly simple socket protocol that's about as complex as as http. The benefit is you could have a list of files in a redis key named by the mac address, which you coul...

I just got home from Pycon.us 2016, so a quick follow up. The first day of sprints where insane, between the microbit sprint being run by Nicholas Tollervey and my sprint working with other boards running Micropython we had a large number of people. We completely ran out of both Microbits and ESP826...

I was frankly amazed that the micropython related sprinting on the first day had more people than many of the other sprints. I think it really shows there is a lot of interest in micropython, once people find out about it. This year's pycon.us already has a micropython sprint for the microbit listed...
