Ampy error when using git command

[joe]

Hi, I just setup ampy for use with a esp8266 board and I get the error shown below when running the get command. I tried installing

Code: Select all

ubinascii

via

Code: Select all

pip3 install micropython-cpython-ubinascii

but still get the same result.

Thanks

Code: Select all

$ ampy --baud 115200 --port /dev/ttyUSB0 ls
/boot.py
/testing.py
$ ampy --baud 115200 --port /dev/ttyUSB0 get testing.py

I think the command you ran (using "pip3" will install this on your PC -- the error from ampy is about ubinascii on the device.

It's surprising though, because the ESP8266 includes ubinascii. Can you try connecting to the REPL and running:

Code: Select all

import ubinascii

and see if that works?

Which firmware are you using?

Thanks for the reply, I was mistaken and thought that output mean that ubinascii could not be located on my system. I was running adafruit-circuitpython-feather_huzzah-3.1.2.bin when I got the error but I re flashed to esp8266-20191220-v1.12.bin and no longer get the error. When running circuit python

Code: Select all

import ubinascii

outputs

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: no module named 'ubinascii'

So the issue is specific to circuit python
