"memory allocation failed, allocating 8192 bytes" error

[kbrenner]

Hi,

As a forewarning, I am novice with Micropython, so please be as explicit/thorough as possible with your recommendations/suggestions if you should have any .

I am using a PYBD-SF6W with a microSD card attached. I am trying to read in variables from some files on the microSD card; however, I am running into a memory allocation issue where I get the error:

"memory allocation failed, allocating 8192 bytes"

Is there a way to monitor how much memory is being used at any given time? Additionally, are there ways beyond running a gc.collect() to free up space in memory?

Thanks!
