Re: Freezing / Compiling raw binary data in DFU

As mentioned above, you can use frozen scripts to store a bytes object in ROM. An alternative: to load binary data to some external device (here SPI RAM) then you could simply store that binary data directly on the filesystem as a binary file, then copy it to the external SPI RAM device using a simp...

Re: send HTTP Request ESP8266

To do a HTTP(s) request as a client you can use the urequests module. Install with upip.install('urequests') and then use:

Code: Select all

import urequests
response = urequests.get(URL)
print(response.text)
response.close()
(Make sure to use the latest firmware version.)

All boards and accessories were scheduled for their next manufacturing run some weeks ago and the PYBD and DIP adaptors are done, we are just waiting on the eMMC, LED36 and SENSA accessories, which should be complete any day now....

Re: WBUS-DIP28 Usb FS port issue

It may be that you have an old bootloader which didn't enable 500mA by default, by pulling Pin(W23) high. To test this, do a fresh hard reset and check the state of pin W23. If it's low then it's 100mA max. It's possible to update mboot from the pyboard REPL: download mboot from https://micropython....

Re: Detecting Pyboard D and USB connection

On PYBD the USB_VUSB and USB_ID pins are not connected through to the USB port (either FS or HS), so these names should be removed from the build (they are just normal IO pins, Y1 and Y2). If you want to detect if the VCP is enabled and has an active connection on the PC via a serial terminal (ie no...
