upython uses a different start time to the usual unix epoch used by python, subtract 946684800 before converting to human readable.

I sympathise. Some days it just feels like there are too many layers of abstraction between me & the ESP32. In my salad days I'd stick a CRO probe on the modulation pin of a radio transmitter to check the data, now days I'm reduced to checking the duration of a raw lora burst in effort to verify how...

If you're a simple soul like me & chuck most everything in the root directory.....
import os
if 'my_file' in os.listdir(): print('found it')

thnx. When I google 'escape' I got a lot of stuff about 'escape characters' but I don't think that's what you're referring too? Can you explain 'escape' in this context?

My head says you're right jimmo & it will be fine over lora but heart is saying 'you can't trust it, use chr/ord (where wysiwyg) instead'

Possible thread drift here Dave, but the LTE modem in the pycom gpy was a bugger for waking up thinking it was connected (when it wasn't because there was no attachment). Interested to read your post about esp32 wifi doing likewise. Is there some timeout in a router we could adjust to keep a wifi co...

So no easy way to get b'40 80' ? Seems to me python is being as slippery with octal/hex here as it sometimes is with types?

I assume you're running something like.... if not sta.isconnected(): print('connecting to '+AP, end=' '); sta.connect(AP, pwd) for i in range(10): if sta.isconnected(): ESP32 generally get a connect within a couple of seconds from wakeup (with RSSIs around -80dbm, I haven't locked the router to a pa...

Your 1 liner looked super elegant Christian so I ran it forwards & backwards to see if performed as well as as it looks >>> bits=[0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0] >>> struct.pack('<H', sum(b*(1<<(i^7)) for i, b in enumerate(bits))) b'\x10\x80' >>> struct.pack('<H', sum(b*(1<<(i)) for i, b in enumerate(bits)...

you could put something like
into main.py?
