My IDE configuration using Notepad++, ampy and Tera Term

[bitninja]

Hi Paul,

I just tested TeraTerm and found that the arguments need to be in the form of...

Code: Select all

	<add key="TerminalAppArgs" value="/C=4"/>

Let me know if you still do not get a file listing in the main app though... it usually means you have an incompatible version of AMPY installed. I am running version 1.0.7. You can test yours by entering...

Code: Select all

pip list adafruit-ampy

Mine shows...

Code: Select all

PS D:\Downloads\teraterm-4.105> pip list adafruit-ampy
Package       Version
------------- -------
adafruit-ampy 1.0.7
...

I am going to create a new version to download, that will allow you to use something like this...

Code: Select all

	<add key="TerminalAppArgs" value="/C={PORTNUM}"/>

It should be available within a few hours.

Good luck!

EDIT: You can download it again... I have left the defaults for TeraTerm... although you have to change the path to the EXE!

I started with Notepad++ but couldn't get it to colorize Python correctly so I switched to Atom. That was a good decision. Atom has github built-in so that speeds things up too. So for my desktop development I use Atom and cmd. https://smarttip.org/

I recently came across an extension on Visual Studio Code for micropython that I have been using with great success, link below. Good English instructions to get you started and has tons of examples for new developers like myself. Also extremely easy to add code completion modules by opening the "MicroPython Library" and dropping in the python folder/file.
