Call from main.py

[Maleda]

Hello,

I would like to start my python script from main.py. I tried to simplify the script by only having one line within the file test.py

The line is:
print('test')

Now, I want to avoid to past this line directly into the main.py, instead I want to simply start the test.py.
I already read the pdf micropython8266.pdf but the information within the document didn't work.

I know that it must be a completely stupid solution but after 2 hours I didn't find a solution.

The micropython main loop goes something like this:

Code: Select all

start-of-loop:
    call boot.py
    call main.py
    enter REPL
    goto start of loop

If you want the code to stay in main.py and not leave it, then you need to write the code to do that. Something along the lines of:

Code: Select all

while True:
    print('Wasting time. Press Control-C to exit main.py')
    utime.sleep(5)

Technically, you don't need the delay, but it will cause less CPU to be consumed since the MCU will enter a lower sleep state.
