Well ---I am using a Fipy and when i use (for example) machine.lightsleep(1000) as per the docs,
I get response
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 559, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'lightsleep'

If I use machine.deepsleep(1000) the board I get
>> %Run -c $EDITOR_CONTENT

@njepsen The Fipy uses Pycom firmware (and obviously the hardware is their own) so you may get a more knowledgeable response in their forum.

Thanks Peter. Naively - I thought micropython was micropython. :)

I doubt it Peter. Their forum is a total shambles, full of unanswered issues.

MicroPython is MicroPython, and this forum mainly supports the original version as used on a wide range of hardware. But as open source firmware anyone can create a fork and a number of companies have done so. These forks vary in how much they have diverged from upstream and how well they have kept up to date.

You're welcome to post queries in here, but users may not be knowledgeable about other forks.

If PyCom support sucks, I'm afraid you may have to draw your own conclusions :twisted:
