Inclusion of socket in main.py prevents further edits
Posted: Wed Jul 03, 2019 8:53 pm
Hello
I found some code to establish a socket and let me switch the led on and off over wifi. (code at the end). Works correctly. But now I cannot edit the main.py file. Using webREPL I get an immediate Disconnecting message when I click connect. Screen, picocom will not return a python prompt no matter how many times I hit enter.
I suspect the conn.close() at the end of the script is to blame, but I'm very new to both the micropython and nodemcu I'm using so happy to be corrected. I think that before I can interact with my board the connection is closed.
My problem is that I would like to edit main.py as I want to use this socket feature to connect to my local server and mysql database and interact with many boards around my home.
So please, if you have a way for me to edit or replace main.py point me to some instructions or tell me what to do. Happy to reflash if necessary, but as a last resort.
And thank you in advance for even reading this far (hi mum).
