no IIS from machine

Post by ricogte » Wed Apr 15, 2020 4:44 am

Hello,
I have a DFRobot FireBeetle Board-ESP32 V4.0 (wroom-32D) and a FireBeetle Covers Camera and Audio Media Board V1.0.
I tested all the latest firmwares given by: http://micropython.org/download/esp32/
but there is no IIS in the Machine library, but programs using the board camera need IIS.
Do you have any idea of ​​my problem?
Thank you
Have a good day

Hi,

The official firmware does not (currently) have support for cameras.

Do you have a link to instructions you're following that mention the existence of a machine.IIS class? If so I might be able to tell you how to install that firmware.

Ah, your other post about upycraft made me realise. This looks like dfrobot have their own custom firmware (which includes machine.IIS), which you'll need to get from them, presumably via the uPyCraft download mechanism that your other post is talking about.

You might be able to get advice from people who know more about the specifics of dfrobot and upycraft at https://www.dfrobot.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=20 (or contact dfrobot directly: https://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route ... on/contact )

Anyway, I did some quick looking and it seems like a lot of the dfrobot / upycraft stuff hasn't been updated for a while (and many of the links are broken). The latest firmware image for ESP32 I can find is https://github.com/DFRobot/uPyCraft/raw ... 171124.bin You could try downloading that and flashing it with esptool.py

Thank you very much Jimmo,

Indeed, I think more and more that this firmware is specific to DFRobot. I contacted them (techsupport@dfrobot.com). Here is their answer:
"Sorry,
Perhaps this can only be found by yourself, because we have not done it.
Have a nice day !!! "
We can't say he is very helpful ...

Thank you, I had not tried via: https://github.com/DFRobot/uPyCraft/
Unfortunately, no matter the firmware, I can burn it with esptool (or uPyCraft), but impossible to talk to the board esp32 afterwards :(

However, I had not seen the DFRobot forum. I will seek and return an answer here after.

Thanks again.

It's in their documentation. So this seems very unlikely! Or at the very least if they wrote the documentation then they must know where it comes from.
