Hi, I just joined this forum.
I am experimenting with a RPi Pico.
Using Thonny IDE v 3.3.3 in MS Windows 10.
The Pico has Micropython v1.15 of 2021-04-18 installed.

I am working on a script that has to receive ansynchronus UDP messages (GPS flightsim data).
It actually is a port from a same project I did successfully in the past with a RPi Pi and later with an Arduino MEGA 2560.

In Thonny, when using the REPL mode, after entering "from machine import UART", then: dir(UART) among other things there was listed: 'any'.
According to https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/ ... uart%20any the function any() has to be called without parameter(s), however the call 'UART.any()' in Thonny's REPL returned:

>>> UART.any()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: function takes 1 positional arguments but 0 were given

After seeing this error i tried: 'UART.any(0)' and 'UART.any('0')'. Both commands resulted in errors too.
Anyone has an idea what can cause this?

You have to call uart.any() on the UART instance you have created, not the class. So you would have something like:

from machine import UART
uart=UART(1)
uart.any()

That's it! Thank you
