Memory issue with Blynk

[mybigman]

Hi Guys,

I am using Wemos D1 mini pro with latest MP flashed to it and have been playing around with different examples and am really enjoying tinkering again as python makes it alot easier then using C/C++.

I wanted to try out the blynk library from the offical repo, however as soon as I import it I get a memory error :/

Code: Select all

# main.py
from libs import blynklib_mp as BlynkLib

# serial
MemoryError: memory allocation failed, allocating 138 bytes

I assume its over the memory limit based on the error and that's the only thing I am importing other than the initial wifi setup.

I have had more item imported than this at once such as mqtt, weather api, dictionary parser and it hasn't been an issue.

Is there something I can do other than compile the library into the framework?

Thanks.

blynklib_mp.py is quite a large piece of code, which the ESP8266 has to both load and compile. You might find more success to pre-compile it into a .mpy file and use that instead.

Here's a .mpy version of blynklib_mp -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/pjniddycmtnig ... p.mpy?dl=0 (Make sure you remove the .py file from your ESP first otherwise it'll use that instead).

Even better would be to freeze it into the firmware, but that will require building your own MicroPython firmware, but it will save a lot more RAM.

thanks... appreciate it.
