_thread limitation on stmhal ports

[ajie_dirgantara]

I am using stmhal port, and been using _thread module. Is the thread creation limited at 8 threads only?
because when I try to start 9th thread it raise MemoryError exception :

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 221, in <module>
  File "main.py", line 219, in main
  File "main.py", line 204, in mainModeNormal
MemoryError: memory allocation failed, allocating 4096 bytes

I think threading is fairly RAM intensive. If you can tolerate cooperative scheduling uasyncio is highly efficient: I have tested with hundreds of coroutines.

I'll stick with _thread module for now. But I'll take a look later. Thanks.
