Re: Repl not Responding
There's a reasonable chance that if you download install vgkits-vanguard ( https://pypi.org/project/vgkits-vanguard/ ) that you can simply run... vanguard brainwash micropython vanguard shell ...and the first line will install 1.9.4 Micropython, and the second will launch a terminal. Let me know how...

Re: Announcing mpy-miniterm, a serial terminal with integrated file synchronisation
If you care about it running on Windows, you might want to track my https://github.com/vgkits/vgkits-vanguard/blob/master/vgkits/miniterm.py which has fixes for some major cross-platform issues in miniterm, ( https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial/pull/351 ). You can test it out as 'vanguard shell' vi...

Re: Putty is slow
Incidentally I am curious to know if I can get my 'vanguard shell' command to autodetect and connect for you, (which I have been engineering to try and get around the problems people face getting terminals installed and configured properly to connect to Micropython boards). You can investigate it at...

Re: Differences between CH340 & CP210X Boards
For reference, note this resource which has cross-platform, tested Miniterm invocations to connect to Micropython devices... https://vgkits.org/blog/connecting-with-miniterm / I have been investing a lot of time in Miniterm as it addresses the issue of being able to guide people through (more or les...

vgkits-vanguard - Learner-oriented tools for ESP8266 micropython boards
As part of the development of VGkits' resources around the Vanguard board I've put together a new package distributed via PyPI. It's called vgkits-vanguard and it provides for incredibly simple cross-platform operations such as launching a shell, or reflashing an ESP8266 board. More operations can b...

If you ever need to buy in bulk, I have been buying boards for VGKits for >4 years DHL from N.B. Everest in China. I find them consistently reliable (I believe they manufacture themselves). When I have been forced occasionally buy from elsewhere (e.g. needing an urgent UK order to be fulfilled) to f...

As a temporary workaround, you could try deploying the image https://github.com/vgkits/vanguard/blob/master/utilities/flash/firmwares/vanguard-0.1.0.img which was created on a NodeMCU-M by running the deployall.py routine from https://github...

VGKits and Vanguard Board go live
Just a note to say finally the website, social media resources and all-important launch video are up at https://vgkits.org Would be great to get everyones' feedback, although the resources are focused for high-school computer science teachers, so there's a deliberate lack of emphasis on technical/fl...

Hi @nikhiledutech It's not surprising your posting has taken more than a week for anyone to reply. Here is a code sample which recreates your issue... >>> calculated = (3,4,5) << 4 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: unsupported types for __lshift__: 'tu...
