Wemos D1 Mini - Configuring boot.py

[blckpstv]

Hi,

I've finally managed to install the micropython platform on the wemos D1 Mini. Now I'm following the micropython docs. When I do os.listdir() I only get the boot.py file. Not the main.py as shown in the docs. Is this second file necessary?

Follwing on that small note/question. How do I change the boot.py in minicom on mac to add following start up script.

Code: Select all

def do_connect():
    import network
    sta_if = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
    if not sta_if.isconnected():
        print('connecting to network...')
        sta_if.active(True)
        sta_if.connect('<essid>', '<password>')
        while not sta_if.isconnected():
            pass
    print('network config:', sta_if.ifconfig())

I get this in return when trying to open('boot.py') >>> <io.TextIOWrapper 3fff14c0>

The "main.py" is not created by default, but if you do create it, it will get executed at startup. It's for starting your application.

I like to use Adafruit's "ampy" tool for uploading (and downloading) files from the board. You can get the boot.py file to your computer, edit it with a text editor, and put it back on your board. You can also use mpfshell or the webrepl for uploading the files.

Hi, I used the ampy and installed it succesfully. But when trying to connect to my board I get.

Code: Select all

ampy --port /dev/cu.wchusbserial1420 ls

You have to close the other program using the serial. Only one program can use it at a time.
