@slender iron did I read rc2?!!

Assuming @tulip sleet's Ampy fix will be in there, so I'll be able to test out adding libraries to the ESP8266. Specifically the ureqests library or module, however you want to call it lol.

[tulip sleet]

@formal plover ampy is already fixed independently. If you update adafruit-ampy, you'll get the fixed version of ampy

[formal plover]

Hmm I'll try it again when I get home. I did that yesterday or two days ago and I still couldn't do ls to see file paths

[tulip sleet]

pip install adafruit-ampy --upgrade

[formal plover]

Either which way I did it, it said it was the most recent version. But I'll try later and let you know @tulip sleet.

Obviously it works because you tested it, so I probably wasn't paying attention when I was updating it.

[tulip sleet]

It was early evening yesterday. The new version is version 1.0.2 (was 1.0.1)

[formal plover]

Oh yeah, I definitely tried it earlier than that, so that's what's up. Anyhoo... Super excited you guys are already talking about possibly releasing r2 tonight

I'll try to test something labeled "beginner friendly" by @slender iron .

I'm not all that familiar with GitHub, so I might struggle a little bit with some of the terminology

[tulip sleet]

It's a process. We have a bunch of fixes and a few newly reported but not fatal problems.

[formal plover]

I'm sure it is @tulip sleet. You guys are doing great work though.

[tulip sleet]

tnx - we're enjoying it!

[formal plover]

Awesome! I'm glad you're enjoying your work. That's the dream right there.

[idle owl]

@formal plover I'm learning Git and Github right now, heh

[formal plover]

@idle owl Yay! Haha how's that for wordplay

[idle owl]

@formal plover I mean not this actual second, but I'm in the process of learning it and writing a presentation for a local user group.

[formal plover]

@idle owl I figured as much. Oh, awesome.

[slender iron]

@tulip sleet at my desk now

[tulip sleet]

on AE voice channel

[formal plover]

We have some local user groups for maker and techy stuff, but they've always appeared flakey in the "meetup" app. We have a local maker space, but it's like $60/m

[idle owl]

I don't know how much our local maker spaces are, but there's two really nice ones. Our user group meets every second tuesday and has for the last 25 years or something?

[drowsy geyser]

Are there significant differences between "latest commit image" and the planned rc2? In other words, are there a lot of potential commits in work? @slender iron ?

[slender iron]

        // Check to see if we've been CTRL-Ced by autoreload or the user.
        if(MP_STATE_VM(mp_pending_exception) == MP_OBJ_FROM_PTR(&MP_STATE_VM(mp_kbd_exception))) {
            break;
        }

[idle owl]

@slender iron When you're done with your chat: I have a strip of 12 Dotstars hooked up to my CPX. I don't think my code is right anyway. But like I said I'm getting the error Pin PA20 in use, which is the MOSI pin according to the pinout list you sent me.

[slender iron]

@idle owl free now

[idle owl]

@slender iron Ok

[slender iron]

sorry for being slow, my brain is still waking up

[idle owl]

I'm having a really fuzzy morning too, so it's totally ok

[slender iron]

instead of using board.MOSI for MOSI try board.SDA

MOSI is for the internal flash

[idle owl]

oki

I also didn't have board. ...so

heh

[slender iron]

and SCL for the clock

[idle owl]

Checking!

board is not defined

when I do board.sda and board.scl

[slender iron]

are you doing from board import * at the top?

[idle owl]

It's under import dotstar but yes

[slender iron]

right, then it'd be SCL and SDA without the board.

[idle owl]

Ok now we're back to the first error I Got which is in dotstar.py , line 47, in setitem typeError: "int" object is not subscriptable

[slender iron]

I'm not sure what your current code or library is. would you mind screen sharing with me? I can video chat with you on discord

dhalbert

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on issue #57: esp8266: Ctrl\-c during time\.sleep resets the board

This bug came back as of 2.0.0-rc1 or earlier. Also see the same thing with

while True: pass

then type ctrl-C. Board will soft-reset.

[slender iron]

found it @idle owl. trying it now

[idle owl]

Excellent. Watching the first video @slender iron

Keep me posted!

[slender iron]

so I do get it to light up

[idle owl]

That's good at least, lol

[slender iron]

the first pixel isn't the right color though

[idle owl]

they're backwards sometimes

bgr or whatever. In fact the library I use has them all listed at the top as every possible order to cover all the bases

Mine are all white so I wouldn't have noticed that

[slender iron]

ah! they are white dot stars?

[idle owl]

Mine are yes

[slender iron]

that could be an issue

[idle owl]

but the same code works, because it's three white LEDs

[slender iron]

ah

[idle owl]

I was able to run a series of animations from a strand test on them that was made for RGB when I first got started on the project

[slender iron]

kk

import time
import adafruit_dotstar

pixels = adafruit_dotstar.DotStar(board.SCL, board.SDA, 30)
pixels[0] = (0, 0, 10)
pixels[1] = (10, 0, 0)
pixels[2] = (0, 10, 0)
print(pixels)
time.sleep(2)
pixels.deinit()

thats my test code

[idle owl]

omg.

hold on.

lol

The other end of the plug wasn't plugged in either.

They're lighting up

[slender iron]

😃

[idle owl]

sigh

My original code works too.

rofl.

So, hey, @slender iron your dotstar library works.

[slender iron]

why is my first pixel too white though?

[idle owl]

I have it set to 100000 and it's entirelly too bright for that on mine.

The second and third one in your code were correct. The first one is on max.

[slender iron]

yours is too?

thats what I'm seeing

[idle owl]

Yes

on both your code and mine

[slender iron]

kk

[idle owl]

This: pixels[0] = 0x000000 also puts it on max brightness regardless of whether there are other pixels after it.

[slender iron]

kk

[idle owl]

Will circuitpython work on the ESP32 as well?

[slender iron]

eventually

[idle owl]

nice

[slender iron]

I can't replicate to the too bright pixel anymore. I fixed the deinit code I think.

[idle owl]

Nice!

[slender iron]

kattni are you @idle owl on github too?

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on issue #196: syntax errors on linux system

I think this problem is plaguing Rosie CI as well. I added something that should monitor the flush through the kernel block device stat but its still having issues.

@jerryneedell do you feel that is new post-1.0?

[idle owl]

I just crashed Atom so hard it won't reopen. rolls eyes Reboot time evidently!

Wow. That was a pretty solid crash. Had to remove all the perpherals from my computer before it would even start up again.

[manic glacier]

jerryneedell

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on issue #196: syntax errors on linux system

@tannewt I had not experienced this under 1.0.0 but that is not conclusive, since it also depends on whether I used genitalia or nano and I can't be sure I exercised it on 1.0.0. I'll try reverting to 1.0.0 and see if it is reproducible there. Hopefully later today.

[idle owl]

Managed to corrupt the CPX. The one time I don't have code backed up. At least it's tiny. I think I can remember it.

Can you explain how to get to the updated adafruit_dotstar file though? I'm having trouble finding it

[slender iron]

its under files changed here: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_DotStar/pull/1

[idle owl]

This isn't good. It wasn't working right so I did the doubletap reset to try to reload the uf2 file on it. It turns green then mounts as cplayboot, when I copy the uf2, it looks like it works, lights go off, it mounts circuitpy. But I go to the drive and there's nothing on it. And it's not even letting me copy the lib folder over.

I redownloaded the uf2 file as well.

And I disconnected everything from the CPX.

[slender iron]

sounds like the file system got hosed

[idle owl]

How do I fix it? I've not had it go quite this far before

[slender iron]

https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/troubleshooting.html#file-system-issues

[idle owl]

Thank you

[slender iron]

@tulip sleet figured it out. 😃

[idle owl]

Good on him!

The little purple python makes me happy

Thank you @tulip sleet

[tulip sleet]

yw

[idle owl]

Worked beautifully

I couldn't remember my own code. So I copied and pasted your test code. It works, the first pixel is the correct brightness!

[slender iron]

yay!

[idle owl]

I tried to write up what I had before but it was failing in my code, so I figured use yours.

[adafruit/circuitpython] Pull request opened: #240 shared\-bindings: Prevent check\_lock from being optimized away\.

Fixes #229

[idle owl]

FYI - when using jumper wires, it will sometimes send phantom signals to the dotstar strips and turn on the lights in random ways. Took me a day to figure that out, lol

[slender iron]

yup yup, the noise will

[manic glacier]

tannewt

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on issue #229: i2c native doesnt require lock

I think that check_lock was being optimized away during LTO.

[idle owl]

Ok, so, as I've never done this before, do I click "Add your review" first?

[slender iron]

if you have individual comments you can add them in the code and hit "start a review"

otherwise you can just do an overview by clicking "add your review"

[idle owl]

Ok

There's a few nitpicky issues that the linter I'm running in Atom caught. Should I fix them or is that not a huge deal. It's one line too long, or expected 2 lines where there is one sort of things. Doesn't affect the function of the code, just the linter whinging about details.

[slender iron]

I'm usually not super strict about linting

variable naming is worth changing though

[idle owl]

which variables? (And what even counts as a variable in Python, I'm realising I don't know that to begin with.)

[slender iron]

just naming in general 😃

[idle owl]

ahh hehe

Ok so I don't know that I have any specific comments. So I click add my review, and just put in there that I tested it successfully on a CPX with white dotstars or something like that? I don't know what makes a good review.

[slender iron]

Yup!

[idle owl]

Am I just commenting, or approving?

[slender iron]

approve please 😃

[idle owl]

oki!

Yay! A first for me

[tulip sleet]

@slender iron wow - what do you think made the check_lock be optimized away? ! Or maybe common_hal_busio_i2c_has_lock was always returning false?

[slender iron]

that I don't understand

but I tested it and it fixed it

[tulip sleet]

Did you add the asm("") in 1.0.0 and it fixed it there? Since 2.0 was already OK

[slender iron]

yeah

[tulip sleet]

oh weird. ok ... I am pushed down a level, trying to fix ctrl-C working in input(). Also fixed ctrl-C causing soft-reset when it should just be an exception. Then I have to get back to the original issue about the fake ctrl-D.

[slender iron]

I'm not sure if LTO recognizes that mp_raise has any side effects

so its not a question of has_lcok but rather if it matters

[manic glacier]

jerryneedell

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on issue #196: syntax errors on linux system

@tannewt I just reverted to 1.0.0 and I am not able to reduce the problem. I can cause it to occur reliably under 2.0.0 - looks like it is post-1.0.0.

[slender iron]

@solar whale you rock

[tulip sleet]

@solar whale @slender iron I have been seeing some delayed writes on Linux as well, not quite same kind as on Windows, but nevertheless delayed.

[slender iron]

it might be something internally

[tulip sleet]

internally Linux or vfs in CPy?

[slender iron]

in cpy I'm thinking

[solar whale]

As noted before - it only occurs for me if I use g-edit, not with nano so it also depends o the editor and how it behaves.

[tulip sleet]

maybe delayed responses to MSC USB queries or something

@solar whale some editors truncate or erase file before rewriting, some just rewrite. That seems to make a difference.

[slender iron]

Rosie sees it when copying files over

[tulip sleet]

There's more metadata to change on truncation/rewrite

The data blocks get written quickly. The metadata (directory info and which blocks used) get delayed.

[slender iron]

k, off for lunch and then a quick errand

[solar whale]

@tulip sleet FYI - just triggerd a soft reboot by using control-c in a program that has just runs in a while loop but no try/except -- another program with try/except exits fine with contol-c

this is with lastest master

[tulip sleet]

@solar whale thanks, that's a bug I'm fixing that seems to have been introduced in 2.0.0. Interrupting while True: pass with ctrl-c will cause a soft reboot, for instance

Do you have a skeletal example of the try/except code that does NOT do a soft reboot?

[solar whale]

I'll make one - just a minute.

try:
while True:
pass

except:
pass

finally:
pass

@tulip sleet that example works for me - just: while true: pass causes reboot

[tulip sleet]

@solar whale Thanks, that's very helpul to check my fix in another situation.

[solar whale]

I forgot - how do you post code here?

[tulip sleet]

@solar whale I see why that's different: the finally: catches the KeyboardInterrupt exception that is the ctrl-c, so you don't see the KeyboardInterrupt. I see the same behavior in /usr/bin/python3, so it's expected. The other thing you found is definitely a bug. Found while trying to get input() to handle ctrl-c properly

To post code, start with three backticks and then a newline. End with three more.

example code

shift tilde

i mean unshift tilde.

[solar whale]

try:
    while True:        
        pass

except:
    pass

finally:
    pass

got it!

[tulip sleet]

very nice! same as in stackoverflow

or I think you can indent. let's try that

some indented code

nope

[solar whale]

don't push your luck 😉

[tulip sleet]

:lol:

[solar whale]

[slender iron]

thanks @idle owl !

@tulip sleet how is your bug hunting going?

@idle owl can you review this for me as well? https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_NeoPixel/pull/10

[tulip sleet]

@slender iron I just fixed ctrl-c not causing soft-reset. Also you can now ctrl-C when doing an input(). Previously the interrupt did not happen until you pressed enter (return). Was going to go back to Limor's bug and wrap those into it, but maybe I should break them out.

[idle owl]

@slender iron Yes!

[tulip sleet]

I asked about whether deinit() should darken all the neopixels/dotstars or not. Thought maybe you might not want to do that (preserve what's turned on). Did you see that?

[slender iron]

@tulip sleet I think its worth getting that much in

@tulip sleet I didn't

[tulip sleet]

worry about that later

ok

[slender iron]

and yeah, I'd like it to turn them off. I think we should try to return the board to default state after a script is run

that way you know what the state is when starting again

[tulip sleet]

I was thinking about a big installation where you might want to set up a bunch of static neopixels. But that's probably the exception.

[slender iron]

why not just sleep for a long time then?

it'd be fine after we make sleep actually sleep

[idle owl]

@slender iron Are the built-in neopixels on the CPX enough or should I rig up an external strip/ring?

[tulip sleet]

was thinking you might have many strips that you need to switch between, say more than the available memory.

[idle owl]

I have both options

[slender iron]

@idle owl on board should be enough

@tulip sleet ah, they can skip calling deinit then 😃

[idle owl]

@slender iron I'm glad I asked.

[tulip sleet]

should I wrap up the ctrl-C fixes in one pull request for now and work on the main.py input() bug separately?

[slender iron]

yes please

I'll include it in rc.2 then

[formal plover]

Are you releasing r2 tonight?

[slender iron]

tryin

[formal plover]

Gotcha. Well if you do, I'll hit the ground running on testing on rc2. Unless there's something you would like me to test on the ESP8266 that can be done in time to work into rc2

[slender iron]

nah, theres nothing on our radar for esp8266. testing after rc.2 would be awesome

[formal plover]

Gotcha @slender iron. I also have the Feather M0 Express if you need any help with that down the road.

I flashed 1.0 on it and tested blinky on it then swapped it out with the ESP8266 and have been obsessing over that, haha.

[slender iron]

😃 both are good to obsess over

[formal plover]

True that.

[slender iron]

I definitely use the M0 more

[idle owl]

@slender iron Your example in neopixel.py works!

[formal plover]

How can you not with that 🔥 bootloader

[slender iron]

@tulip sleet mind if I submit https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_DotStar/pull/1 ?

yay!

[tulip sleet]

go ahead

[drowsy geyser]

@slender iron I'd be happy to test rc2 after you release (or if you need anything tonight after ask an engineer). I'll flash my M0 Adalogger and a couple of Metro M0 Express boards I'm working with. The Adalogger will be interesting since it's the flight computer for a high power rocket. 😃

@slender iron Not yet. I'm actually going to be putting an SD card in tonight and test it.

[drowsy geyser]

Will do.

[slender iron]

someone had a class 2 card fail

I ordered some off of amazon and got them and they were class 4

[drowsy geyser]

Ouch. All I have are Class 10 for the RPi arrays....

I'll order some lower quality ones from Amazon for testing.

Is capacity an issue or just the card write speeds?

[slender iron]

don't worry about it then

I have the class 4s to test with 😃

trying a variety is still useful

The doc just says not to delay for too long. Probably this should explain further that it basically shuts off everything while the delay is happening, and let the user decide whether that's OK or not. It depends on whether delaying some I/O is going to be a problem or not, such a NeoPixel timing or USB input.

@slender iron RC2 has been successfully flashed to my ESP8266, let's do this!

Make sure you use sudo if you are trying to update Ampy slaps forehead.

[tulip sleet]

@formal plover If you do pip install blahblah --user it puts it in ~/.local, so you don't have to put stuff in system directories. (I learned that yesterday.)

[formal plover]

interesting @tulip sleet. haha thanks again

[solar whale]

@tulip sleet just downladed built/loaded rc2 and bundle - seems ok - control-c works! Well done! And congrats to @slender iron !

[tulip sleet]

@solar whale Great! Thanks for checking. You check a lot more stuff on the ESP8266 than we have tests for right now.

[solar whale]

I am checkin on Metero M0 Express now - I can try esp8266 next

[formal plover]

@solar whale debugs ESP8266 vicariously through me

I'm like halllp, then @solar whale jumps in if @tulip sleet or @slender iron doesn't beat him to it

haha

[slender iron]

you all rock!

[solar whale]

Just lurking about....

[formal plover]

lol always lurking

[drowsy geyser]

I'm working on the Feather M0 Adalogger - SD card support is working great!

[solar whale]

hmm - esp8266 bui;d failed at final step:

Create build/firmware-combined.bin
python2: can't open file 'elf2image': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Makefile:243: recipe for target 'build/firmware-combined.bin' failed
make: *** [build/firmware-combined.bin] Error 2

[tulip sleet]

@solar whale in Makefile, line 244

$(Q)python2 $(shell which esptool.py) elf2image $^

elf2image is something that esptool.py does, so I think your esptool.py is missing (which is returning nothing)

Mine is in my PATH at /home/halbert/bin/esp-open-sdk/xtensa-lx106-elf/bin/esptool.py

[solar whale]

hmm- yyou are coored - it went away - I just did sudo apt-get install esptool and got version 0.4.6 - should I get it somewhere else - not sure what happened to it?

[tulip sleet]

Do you have an esp8266 toolchain that you downloaded and set up? This is on your RPi, right?

[solar whale]

on Ubuntu - its been working but obviouslt something got confused.

[formal plover]

@tulip sleet I'm the one using it on the Pi

[tulip sleet]

@solar whale I set up the toolchain within the last couple of weeks with directions from here: https://github.com/pfalcon/esp-open-sdk
Maybe time to refresh if it was a while ago.
@formal plover I think Jerry did dev on RPi for a while. Requires patience...

[formal plover]

Fingers crossed, no problems so far

[tulip sleet]

@solar whale my esptool.py is version 1.2, so the Ubuntu repo one is way old.

[solar whale]

just did pip install esptool - trying again - esptool v 2.1 - worked fine! loading

whew! after some struggle - loaded rc2 to esp8266 - WEBREPL works - tested control-c - works ok - ampy works - all is well. not sure what happend re:esptool,. butI'll wrok on that....

@formal plover I use both Ubuntu and RPi for dev/testing. Most on Ubuntu now.

@tulip sleet I think I see what happened to esptool - whwn I was plyaing with ampy, I iinatalled it from @slender iron fork, but in the process, I deleted .local (oops) taht is where esptool .py lived as well. I think I'm OK now.

[tulip sleet]

@solar whale Makes sense. I have had to clean up .local several times while trying to get the ampy distributable built and tested. I had about three versions on my PATH at one point.

[solar whale]

oops - I forgot abot live shows tonight - sorry If I was distracting from them...

[formal plover]

Well I'm having a heck of a time

I can't get anything to work, I might try flashing the board again

[slender iron]

@formal plover do an erase too

[idle owl]

I'm getting a syntax error attempting to import from adafruit_circuitplayground.express but I have no idea how to figure out what I'm assuming it's been changed to

[formal plover]

ahhhh yes

good call @slender iron

[slender iron]

@idle owl I can help tomorrow. I gotta go make dinner now

[idle owl]

Oki, @slender iron have a good evening

[slender iron]

others can probably help though 😃

[idle owl]

Or I can evidently help myself 😃 Figured it out

[formal plover]

The wipe fixed it @slender iron

[solar whale]

@formal plover usually does 😉

[formal plover]

@solar whale haha true

Nevermind, still can't get webrepl to work

[solar whale]

where is it failing?

[formal plover]

Says everything is kosher, but webrepl never works

screen flashes and that's it

[solar whale]

thy closing webrepl browser screen and reopening - if you have not.

[formal plover]

@solar whale done that countless times

I'll do webrepl setup.... then do webrepl.start() and it will say webrepl isn't configured

[solar whale]

are you using the defuelt access point of conecting to a local netwrok?

[formal plover]

It's connected to the local network

and yes, I'm changing the address

[solar whale]

still port :8266

[formal plover]

sure is

///

import webrepl
webrepl.start()
WebREPL daemon started on ws://192.168.1.211:8266
Started webrepl in normal mode

///

[solar whale]

but you can't conect - don't do a control-d

[idle owl]

Will circuitpython work on the Feather M0 Bluetooth LE?

[formal plover]

Screen flashes and it returns to the ws://192.168.4.1:8266/

[solar whale]

@idle owl sure - but without the SPI fpash chip it wont have a lot of room.

and no support tof the BLE part 😦

[formal plover]

I'm so miffed...

Just tried it on my phone and it works

Why would it be cached even if I'm using a incognito tab

[idle owl]

@solar whale ah thank you. Would I use the feather_m0_basic .bin file to load it? And is lack of BLE support just that it's not included in CP?

[solar whale]

@idle owl yes - that should work.

[idle owl]

@solar whale thank you!

@formal plover that is my boot.py

After flashing - I use ampy to load it - the run webrepl_setup - then it works fina after a reset or power cycle - not control-d

after control-d it repors webrepl not configured, but it works again after a reset or power cycle

[formal plover]

I can't use Ampy

[hollow tartan]

On older M0 boards like FRDM-KL25Z "Freedom" how do I expand the usable Flash for micro Python execution space?

[formal plover]

I need
\
import esp
esp.osdebug(None)
\\

in boot.py..... but I can't use Ampy while connected to serial

[solar whale]

@formal plover - it works for me 😉 - not sure if it is needed anymore or not.

[tulip sleet]

@hollow tartan Our M0 implementation is for Microchip/Atmel M0 chips; that's an NXP board.

[formal plover]

I need to be disconnected from serial to use Ampy... but need to connect via serial to get
\
import esp
esp.osdebug(None)
\\

[solar whale]

disconnect serial - use ampy - then reconnect serial and run webrepl_setup.

@tulip sleet is ampy only python3?

[tulip sleet]

@haughty harness We use an SPI flash chip, but there's special code written to access it. We also will have SD card support. Again, special code. It's formatted as a tiny FAT filesystem.

@solar whale It's supposed to be universal. I built a universal installer.

@formal plover you did --user so now there's a version in ~/.local AND in /usr/local/bin. Do pip uninstall adafruit-ampy --user to get rid of the new version, and then repeat the above without --user. You may have to clean up the .local manually. I did sometimes.

[formal plover]

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pip uninstall adafruit-ampy --user

Usage:
pip uninstall [options] <package> ...
pip uninstall [options] -r <requirements file> ...

no such option: --user

[tulip sleet]

ok, just try uninstal. Then look for .local as Jerry mentioned.

[formal plover]

bingo

removed --user

like you said

it uninstalled

[tulip sleet]

Now do sudo pip install adafruit-ampy --upgrade

[formal plover]

ahhhhhhhh

[tulip sleet]

Finally, do ampy --version to make sure you have 1.0.2

[formal plover]

@tulip sleet and @solar whale !!!!!!

It's a miracle

[solar whale]

woohoo! - that was easy...

[formal plover]

lol yeah, something like that

[tulip sleet]

It reminds of when I had to maintain my Windows 3.1 system, install new drivers, etc. Everything took two hours. Everything.

[formal plover]

@tulip sleet and @solar whale you guys were relentless

lol

[solar whale]

experience is learnig to recognize your mistakes when you make them again 😉

[formal plover]

I used to be really into android rooting

Had to setup the phone every time I flashed a new ROM

[idle owl]

Earlier I spent an hour trying to get dotstars to work... I remembered to plug the power into them about 15 minutes in. 45 minutes later I realised the other end of the power wasn't plugged into an outlet.

@formal plover It's gotten SO easy now.... OTA updates of nightlies for the ROM I'm using. It's crazy to me. I remember having to wipe everything every time.

[solar whale]

@idle owl next time it'll ony take 30 minute 😉

[idle owl]

@solar whale It's true!

[formal plover]

Okay, so I need to send boot.py back to the board

Or do I just edit boot.py in Ampy?

[solar whale]

edit it locallyon your RPI then do a put boot.py to upload it.

@formal plover BTW - the esp.debug(None) will do no harm - If I recall correctly iis is disabled on a realeseed build, but enabled on a manual build- In ay case it should be set to None for normal use.

[formal plover]

@solar whale thanks for that pro tip

[solar whale]

that may be a micropython holdover - not even sure if it matters in CP.

@formal plover any progress?

[formal plover]

Meh. Modded boot.py with Ampy, but web repl still isn't working

keeps saying it's not setup

[solar whale]

hmm - after running webrepl_setup try pressing reset button - then see if you can connect vai webrepl.

also open serial connection then reset and verify thai it gets the correct IP address.

[formal plover]

No dice

[solar whale]

if you open serail connection ad reset - doe it look OK - nay erro messages?

[formal plover]

correct

Well soft reset does nothing. Reset button does nothing

is the only thing that works

or yanking the power

soft reset will kill webrepl.

after power cycle - still no webrepl?

@formal plover can you post your boot.py

@formal plover sorry - I need to get to bed... - no idea what the problem is. I recommend - startig over - restore orginal boot.py - or just erase and reflash if you dont have it then go back to what has worked in the past. Wish I had better advice. I'm stumped.

[formal plover]

@solar whale What a cluster that was... Well updated my Google password... then my chromebook updated. Fun fact.. You have to use the previous password to log back into the chromebook...

[tawny creek]

@formal plover enclose your stuff in ` 's so it appears as

[formal plover]

After allllll that. Once I got back in... Webrepl works... and I didn't touch the ESP8266. So something was cached in the browser doing something shifty with webrepl

@tawny creek Will do.

'code'

code

[solar whale]

@formal plover great news! Lost a few hairs on that!

[formal plover]

@solar whale Sure did.

I have to do the machine reboot for it to work right. Soft reboot still says webrepl isn't setup

[solar whale]

Yes, for me as well.

[formal plover]

okay, I'm not crazy

[solar whale]

I think that is a "feature " not a bug!

[formal plover]

Haha, must be

[solar whale]

Good luck and good night! Enough fun for tonight!

[formal plover]

@solar whale Thanks!

[plucky flint]

Here's Damien giving a "state of the [MicroPython] union" talk at PyCon Australia last month: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI-nTf5iM84

[formal plover]

Well I created a /lib directory on my ESP8266 and threw the micropython ureqests module in there as it sits, no modifications. Works right out of the gate.

I'm having the same problem figuring out how handling the json data as I did using http_get, but there's more info on ureqests so I'll figure it out soon.

http_get is a function that the learn guide walks you through creating, not a module/library. Ureqests and the function both use GET, ureqests has some handy functions versus just the GET from the http_get function.

[opal elk]

If you ujson.loads(response) I think you get a dict in Python you can access

[plucky flint]

@formal plover depending on the version of urequests, I believe you can just get the JSON payload as a Python data structure with, say: response.json()

[formal plover]

Thank you @opal elk and @plucky flint. I'll try both methods and let you know. It won't be till tonight though.

[plucky flint]

Have fun! 😃

[formal plover]

@plucky flint thanks!

[drowsy geyser]

Found two bugs so far. The CCS811 driver throws an exception with "operation requires lock." The bundled SSD1306 driver throws an exception trying to load the framebuf module (it can't find framebuf). The first is not a CircuitPython problem (probably). The second is more a bundled library problem. I opened issues in the respective library repositories....

[solar whale]

@drowsy geyser Framebuf can be compiled into CP but I think it is only compiled in by default for the Express boards to asve spece. There is partial library that can be laoded, but it does not suppor text. so is of limited use. Text can be written using bitmapfonts - see : https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=117162

In any case, using the OLED will use a lot of your avaialble memory!

[drowsy geyser]

Thanks, @solar whale ! We should probably at least update the dependencies list in the code/documents for the framebuf issue. And yes, memory will be a problem. I will probably use the OLED for testing only; I can really use about three NeoPixels and cover all the status information I need for the actual flight computer. In fact, I should just go design that status PCB today....

[solar whale]

@drowsy geyser the LED's sound like a great way to go. It's been awhile since I played with the OLED on the M0 but it was prettyr frustrating since one I got it working, there was not room for the sensor librray as well so switched to an ht16k33 14segment display which worked better for me.

[drowsy geyser]

@solar whale That is incredibly useful information for my design! Thank you! I'm going to go design and build a status LED panel using a few NeoPixels. That will be completely sufficient, particularly since the actual flight data will be logged to the SD card. Oh! And it will give me the opportunity to learn to make boards on the OtherMill....

Heh, or I can just get a small strip of them from Adafruit. That would be faster.

[solar whale]

the jewel is a cute little array with 7 LEDs. https://www.adafruit.com/product/2226

[drowsy geyser]

Hmmm, I'll have to give that some thought. I wanted to make them visible from outside the fuselage. I could probably do that with light pipes. Or maybe just a small window to peer through. I'll ponder the best way to do that. It would definitely be good to at least show the explosives arming status from outside the rocket. 😃

[solar whale]

Big red lights are always good!

[opal elk]

yeah, maybe I should have a LED panel. I just bought some cheap 16x2 displays yesterday but I don't really need that on my HAB payload. just a "altimeter okay, GPS okay, etc"

[drowsy geyser]

I have a CircuitPython neopixel_write question. What is the meaning of the bytearray argument? I was assuming it was RGB but I don't think so. Is it an address and a hex color value?

[slender iron]

its lower level than that

its just bytes at that point and the format depends on the actual strip which the higher level driver manages

[drowsy geyser]

Ahhh ok. Thanks, @slender iron. I think I'll have to go to a Metro M0 Express. I don't have enough memory on the Feather M0 Adalogger for the NeoPixel library....

[slender iron]

enough memory?

on the filesystem?

[drowsy geyser]

Yes

[timber mango]

@drowsy geyser You are probably fine with just neopixel_write for your purposes.

it's literally just looking for a byte stream, so if you are only controlling a handful of pixels, it's pretty simple.

you send it pixel data, bytes for first pixel, bytes for second, bytes for 3rd, etc.

[sick creek]

so MetroM0 Express have more memory for rocket use

[timber mango]

So warning/good to go lights should be easy to build that stream up. In fact, it's a triple byte of RGB, so you could literally have Red be warning, Green be good (and thus Yellow (half red/green) appears if both, etc. Use Blue byte as needed.

or add more ram, it's just a flash chip, right?

oh maybe not on that one?

yeah, never mind, was thinking of the boards with external flash, not the M0

[drowsy geyser]

I'm actually not sure. I know I can load the NeoPixel library on my Metro M0 Express boards, but not the Feather M0 Adalogger....

[timber mango]

according to website, all 3 have 256KB of FLASH + 32KB of RAM

Feather M0, Adalogger and Metro Express M0

[slender iron]

right, they vary in file system size and the binary "core" size

[timber mango]

2 MB SPI Flash is on Metro M0 Express

I had that issue

[timber mango]

If they have 2 of them, that would strange, unless they lucked out one time.

I'd say confirm one works (flash it again?)... then you've narrowed down to that one board for sure, not cables/etc.

I'd guess bad button, you could try bypassing button (use wire and short it twice?)

[vast badger]

yes i can flash 1. but the other wont flash.

[idle owl]

Does connecting it to Arduino actually erase the micropython? Or can you use MP and Arduino sketches in tandem

[timber mango]

does pressing reset work normally on it?

[vast badger]

yes

[timber mango]

yeah, I think see if you can flash it any other way?

arduino IDE?

[vast badger]

arduino ide dont work also

wont go in to dfu mode

[idle owl]

Odd. Because in the instructions for the feathers, it says at the bottom to use it with Arduino after instaling MP or CP, you connect it to the IDE and just use it.

So I was thinking maybe connecting it back to the Arduino stuff would erase it. This was all guessing based on glancing at the instructions last night.

So I have no idea if that would be helpful at all - it's just the only troubleshooting type thing I could think of

[timber mango]

but single of reset works, but not double clicking...

[vast badger]

yes

[timber mango]

I'd contact adafruit support... also post in forum.

[idle owl]

I'd say keep trying, but you did it with one so you know the rhythm. Because that's one I ran into, couldn't get the speed of the double-tap right.

[timber mango]

Not really a CP problem, if it won't work with Arduino IDE either.

[vast badger]

it still running micropython. i can still access through mac as a drive. can also change code in main.py and works.

[timber mango]

yeah, it's a hardware problem, I think.

[vast badger]

Ok thanks for the help all

[tulip sleet]

@vast badger Do you get the same "pulsing" LED on both when you double-click? (We have had reports of similar issues recently on some other Feather boards.)

[vast badger]

no led pulsing

only on 1

[tulip sleet]

That's weird. OK, I suggest posting in https://forums.adafruit.com, and mention that you can't get pulsing on one.

[vast badger]

Ok thanks

[adafruit/circuitpython] Pull request opened: #246 added enable\_dim\_neopixel\(\), disable\_dim\_neopixel\(\), set\_dim\_level\(\)

This adds 3 functions to the samd module for the user to control the behavior of the neopixel:

• enable_dim_neopixel()
• disable_dim_neopixel()
• set_dim_level()

enable_dim_neopixel and disable_dim_neopixel turn on and off dim neopixel mode. set_dim_level takes in an integer from 0-255 and sets the brightness level of dim neopixel mode. The default brightness level for dim neopixel mode is 40. set_dim_level(0) will turn off the neopixel.

dhalbert

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on issue #230: float \-> int unusuallness at 1\.0

The answer to what is going on here is that MicroPython stores single-precision floats in 30 bits, not 32. The lowest two bits are used to flag the bits as a float value. When a 32-bit float is converted to 30 bits, it is truncated, not rounded. So 0.1 in 30-bits is a little bit less than the normal 32-bit 0.1. I tried extending the print precision to more decimal digits, but it still prints as "0.1", because that's the closest represe...

I've just installed 2.0.0 RC 2 on my Huzzah. Jumped all the way ahead from 0.9.0! After making GPIO2 blue LED flash, I try to use the pin again with a different script and get "ValueError: Pin GPIO2 in use". Any way to "release" the pin other than rebooting the Huzzah?

[slender iron]

@timber mango it should have reset the pin on reload, if not, a had reset should work

Those warnings are due to compiling the NeoPixel module as a frozen module for CPX. Frozen modules are not added to any other board build at the current time.

Hi @willingc Thanks as well! I will make a copy-editing pass at some point, after the structure as stabilized.

How do (and @tannewt , you too) you envision our doc tree meshing with MicroPython's? Or will we not. If you go to http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/pyboard/index.html, which is the standard top of the tree, there's a bunch of pyboard-specific stuff which we'd obviously omit, and then there are these sections:

• MicroPython libraries
• The MicroPython language
• MicroPython...

http://test-circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/streamline-docbuild/README_cp_doc.html
"Adafruit’s CircuitPython Documentation" is meta-documentation. I first clicked here and thought I might see, say, library. So I think the top-level title should be clearer about what...

[tulip sleet]

@formal plover We might keep a list somewhere of compatible or near-compatible libraries. Or we could fork the library and label it. Needs some thought.

[formal plover]

@tulip sleet Gotcha. Thanks!

[timber mango]

@tulip sleet @formal plover I'd prefer to see a list over a fork. Maybe a github wiki-ish page?

ie: Works with CP 2.0: modulename v1.3

that way if I discover a module change OR a CP change broke something, we know what did work and when.

ideally I still want to use "upip urequests" and just have it work.

[drowsy geyser]

@timber mango I like the idea of a module/library matrix. I've been running into a number of things that don't work right (and opening issues), but having the table for others would be good.

[manic glacier]

fabitencourt

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on issue #245: SD Cards producing OSError 19

No way. Neither of Lexar cards are working. The black 4G and the blue 16 G too. Both Lexar cards don't seems to work for now.

[tulip sleet]

I like the idea of something like a wiki, though my experience is that they get stale unless heavily maintained. There's also this, which you may have seen already: https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib

I notice there's a urequests (with an s) in there.

[timber mango]

A github wiki page on circuitpython repo would be awesome. And likely easier than trying doc code

yes, it's urequests, not urequest, and that's the core and current module

I agree, they can go stale, which is why it's CP version, module version. That combo WORKS. Future combos might not.

if I know CP2.0 works with urequests 1.4, but urequests 1.5 is out, I might have to test it, and discover a problem... but at least I know 1.4 worked.

[tulip sleet]

The reason for forking would be to make near-compatible libraries compatible. I expect that there will a number of those due to our renaming choice of dropping the u (e.g., uos). Then someone needs to maintain that.

[timber mango]

if a module requires actual forking due to MP->CP changes, then yes, fork it into CP-lib (ala micropython lib)

[tulip sleet]

or there could be a shim compatibility thing (import os as uos, etc.)

[timber mango]

Yeah, the shim approach might be best.

import mp2cpshim 😃

[drowsy geyser]

Does GitHub have a way to search content of files for things we know changed? That way we can create an "in work" list for people to go "port" to new versions....

[timber mango]

You guys are renaming (and altering) things to match CPython standards ?

Yes, github does...

[sick creek]

Git have that

[timber mango]

Either way, a wiki approach as part of CircuitPython github repo is easy, and clean. Make a Shim page.

"Works with CP2.0, shimmed: modulename v1.x"

Then support requests are just "see this link"

And folks like Kurt can easily add modules as he tests them.

Works with CP 2.0.0rc2, etc.

I think time module is majorly different. @tulip sleet what else?

@slender iron ?

[tulip sleet]

There are additions and deletions to several modules. @slender iron 's philosophy is to use the CPython module names and make the functionality and names be the same or a subset. The idea is to make it easy to port existing CPython code.

If we need new functionality we would make a new module, not add new stuff to an existing CPython module.

[timber mango]

Yeah, makes sense. Positive is making CPython code easier to port, negative is Micropython code is harder

given that most micropython modules are tiny by design, and Cpython modules aren't, that can cause some space problems.

but it's a design choice, and I'm not negative on it, just saying there is good and bad in it.

I was happy to see urequest(s) 'just work'... if only cause it's a good tiny module wrapping code youd have write otherwise in most cases.

@tulip sleet Is there a doc page detailing which 'several' modules?

That sounds like an important "Diffferences between CircuitPython and Micropython" topic.

ie module os vs module uos

[sick creek]

more way to make Circuitpython code smaller in device by design

[tulip sleet]

@timber mango http://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/README.html#modules

[timber mango]

@tulip sleet that's a start. Question: so utime is not aliased as time, because time module is Cpythonish. Is utime still present? Or only time?

[slender iron]

hi hi all

I'd suggest a doc to keep track of what modules are compatible. Having a wiki is another thing to maintain and another place for docs. If we put it in docs then it can show on ReadTheDocs as well

@timber mango it is a deliberate decision of mine to choose CPython compatibility over MicroPython compatibility

CPython has a way larger audience, many more resources and is more beneficial for beginners to move to.

I'd love to see urequests become requests on CircuitPython but that would involve making it compatible with CPython's requests. Compatibilty in my mind is the the ability to take CircuitPython code and use it in CPython without adapting code that uses modules available in both.

[formal plover]

@slender iron hear hear!

I've seen a lot of Micropython examples where it has a condition to import urequests as requests and to use urequests if requests fails to import.

So maybe requests is mostly compatible

[tulip sleet]

A lot of the u modules are really subsets, but a few add new things (the only that comes to mind is utime)

uos also

[formal plover]

@tulip sleet interesting

The 2.0.0-rc2 builds have only 56 bytes free on non-Express boards. You can get back some more space by lowering -finline-limit in the Makefile. -finline-limit=57 right now. Lower it only a few at a time (like 2-5), since it will cost a little performance somewhere.

@idle owl it'll be a good board to learn Cpython on because it has a ton of GPIO pins, good storage, and that 🔥 🔥 🔥 UF2 Bootloader

@formal plover The CPX is pretty solid for that too, but no GPIO - it has alligator pads. So this will open new things up for sure!

• I think @tdicola is on the right track with the programming guide. It's self contained yet can be served with the existing docs.
• I would create separation between the CP docs and the MP docs. The current MP build process is far from standard for Sphinx and will be difficult to maintain over time. For docs, you really want the build ...

@formal plover I didn't realise I hadn't done that. I had the bundle starred but not the main repo. Oops.

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on pull request #244: \[WIP\] Streamline docbuild

"Adafruit’s CircuitPython Documentation" is meta-documentation. I first clicked here and thought I might see, say, library. So I think the top-level title should be clearer about what's inside.

Good point @dhalbert. I will change the title to reflect that its how to build the docs themselves.

[formal plover]

@idle owl No worries!

[idle owl]

@formal plover How's your project going?

[formal plover]

@idle owl Not bad, have it about 75% done/figured out. Just need to figure out how to call out single pieces of the json data, like temp and then automate the process with a function.

[idle owl]

@formal plover Nice!

[adafruit/circuitpython] Issue opened: #250 Using a fona module with current networking stack

Hi,

Ive been experimenting with circuit python and one of yours feather m0 and as far as I can understand the networking stack is all made for wifi usage. Is it possible to write a interface to use it with an GSM module, like fona?

Then most of the already written code for the networking stack like mqtt and sockets can be used.

[idle owl]

@formal plover I have one that's complete, and I'm doing a writeup of how I did it (tone piano with fruit using the CPX). I'm also trying to finish up a tabletop lightbox photo studio - there's no code left to do on that one, it's the physical bits left. It's running Dotstars on a RPi 0 W.

@formal plover Otherwise, for now, just testing. Still have no idea what to do with my Metro Express though.

[formal plover]

@idle owl Nice! Haha I have like 7 Adafruit boards that are projectless. So I know the feeling.

[idle owl]

@formal plover I have some Pis sitting around, and a few Adafruit sensors but no other full boards without a project. I really only started in on this, in it's entirety, a few months ago.

@formal plover Actually I hadn't considered that until just now. That seems crazy to me.

@formal plover As in I got my first Pi less than 5 months ago I think. And my first ever Adafruit order was more recent than that.

[formal plover]

@idle owl how exciting that you are hitting the ground running though!!!

[idle owl]

@formal plover A huge part of that can be attributed to how amazing this community is. I didn't even touch the CPX for a few weeks and once I did, I basically dropped everything else. lol

[formal plover]

@idle owl yeah the community is awesome. So helpful and encouraging.

[idle owl]

@formal plover I had started working on the Python tutorial - their official one, and stalled at some point because, while it was nice to be learning it, it was really dry and boring. That's when I coincidentally picked up the CPX to check it out. It's so rewarding! I enter some python code, and it does a thing! Sure printing a list of numbers is a result... but not as great as blinking lights or buttons that do things.

@formal plover Then I ended up here and found out how great everyone was so I had no trouble sticking with it.

[formal plover]

@idle owl That's great! Glad to hear it's been such a great/welcoming experience for you. That's the overall goal, to make it easy for anyone to get started and inspire individuals to keep at it and use their knowledge to give back to those who are just starting out.

[idle owl]

@formal plover It shows. 😃

Is a section of code including a sine_wave array and a for i in range considered a function?

Section of CP I mean

[tidal kiln]

a function is a pretty specific thing. "sections of code" can mean many things.

[idle owl]

Ok

[tidal kiln]

are you looking at a specific example somewhere?

[idle owl]

I figured my question was vague. Yeah, a specific part of my code. I am doing a learn guide and am trying to discuss it in regular terms.

sine_wave = array.array("H", [1] * length)
for i in range(length):
    sine_wave[i] = int(math.sin(math.pi * 2 * i / 18) * (2 ** 15) + 2 ** 15)```

That.

[tidal kiln]

as shown, that's just some lines of code

[formal plover]

@idle owl array.array() is the function

[idle owl]

Thank you @tidal kiln You're quite good at fielding my vague questions 😃

@formal plover ah

That's why I'm asking. So I don't call it something it isn't

[tidal kiln]

def foo():
    length = 8000 // 440
    sine_wave = array.array("H", [1] * length)
    for i in range(length):
       sine_wave[i] = int(math.sin(math.pi * 2 * i / 18) * (2 ** 15) + 2 ** 15)

[idle owl]

I'm not vague intentionally, I don't know how to ask my questions.

[tidal kiln]

now those lines of code are in a function

[idle owl]

Ohhh

I see!

[tidal kiln]

but also what @formal plover said

[formal plover]

Well yeah what @tidal kiln said as well lol

[idle owl]

lol

[tidal kiln]

what @formal plover showed was calling a function

[formal plover]

@tidal kiln exactly :)

[tidal kiln]

range() and math.sin() are also function calls

[idle owl]

I copied that section of code directly from an example, I didn't figure that one out on my own. And I never really looked into the details of how it worked.

[formal plover]

@idle owl some libraries/modules have functions baked into them that you can call.

[idle owl]

Ah

Makes sense, I can picture it from the lightbox code

[slender iron]

anybody want to review some SD card code? its not too complex

[formal plover]

@idle owl if you look up some of the libraries you import, a lot of them have their own GitHub page with all the stuff you can do with it and all the function calls.

@slender iron I don't have a board that has an SD card slot, otherwise I would.

[idle owl]

@formal plover I did a lot of that when I was first doing the code. I specifically avoided math, lol.

@slender iron Same here.

[formal plover]

@idle owl Haha yeah, I tend to avoid anything that involves math as well.

[slender iron]

https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_SD/pull/1

can you just sanity check it then?

maybe @drowsy geyser can test

[idle owl]

I use the same cards too! I use them in Pis though.

Hi @diogoviannaaraujo, I recommend taking a look at the Micropython code. There are some networking examples with sockets in their repo. Hope this helps you.

[manic glacier]

KurticusMaximus

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on issue #250: Using a fona module with current networking stack

@diogoviannaaraujo I've used socket exactly how it is in the networking guide for micropython and it works. I'm also researching using urequests. If you have any questions, I may be able to help.

[formal plover]

It's actually the from the CircuitPython read the docs, Ignore my GitHub comment above haha. In my defense it's the ported micropython guide in the CircuitPython guide.

[formal plover]

Figured out my urequests CPython project!!!

[idle owl]

@formal plover Yay!

[formal plover]

@idle owl Still having a little bit of trouble though... 😦

[idle owl]

@formal plover Figuring it out but still having a bit of trouble sounds like every project I do.

[formal plover]

@idle owl Haha yeah, all part of the learning process

some results to look at:
>>> print(parsed['list'][1]['main']) {'pressure': 1000, 'humidity': 87, 'temp_min': 55.4, 'temp_max': 57.2, 'temp': 56.25}

This is where I get stuck, I don't know how to pull one of these out, just all. IE; I can't get just temp, I can only get all of these

[idle owl]

That was odd.... I thought there were messages posted that didn't. And I responded to you and it didn't post.

[formal plover]

You got warned by the bot lol

[idle owl]

Oh. Really?

[formal plover]

I saw it pop up. We get false positives sometimes

[idle owl]

Nope it did it again.

I guess I'm not typing that response.

lol

[formal plover]

If you knew what it blocked you can tell @slender iron he'll fix it

[idle owl]

So... Yay results to look at?..

That worked!

[formal plover]

lol yay!

[tidal kiln]

@formal plover what do you mean by getting just one? like you want the pressure value?

[formal plover]

@tidal kiln Yes any singular value; pressure or temp any one of those

So I can say, what's the main temp or main pressure

[tidal kiln]

not sure how you're building up to what you've got, but what you have is a dictionary

{key:val}

and you can access by using the key

maybe try

d =  parsed['list'][1]['main']
d['pressure']

etc

[formal plover]

In the end I want to create a function that grabs the weather and then I can use some of that data for triggers,
example: if main temp > 60, then do THIS

Thanks @tidal kiln That will prob work!

I'll try it

[tidal kiln]

print(parsed['list'][1]['main']['pressure'])

would probably also work

that's the general idea though

[formal plover]

BINGO!!!!

`>>> print(parsed['list'][1]['main']['pressure'])
1000

print(parsed['list'][1]['main']['temp'])
56.25`

You are the best @tidal kiln!

[tidal kiln]

no prob

this smells kind of jsony. there are json dedicated packages, but i'm not sure what circuitpython has supported.

[formal plover]

@tidal kiln You called it it's json data from an API

Uses urequests and ujson

[tidal kiln]

ha! so you know more than me on that one. guess ujson is the 'micro' version.

[formal plover]

I just googled my way through this project

[tidal kiln]

typically it's just a matter of getting it into a python dict, then you're good to go

[formal plover]

Yup!

Used this to get the json data https://techtutorialsx.com/2017/06/18/esp32-esp8266-micropython-http-post-requests/

Then this to parse it:
https://techtutorialsx.com/2017/05/23/esp32-micropython-parsing-json/

That lead me to the end where you came through

@tidal kiln FTW

lol

[tidal kiln]

cool. carry on then.

[formal plover]

@tidal kiln Yup, thanks again!

[formal plover]

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on issue #250: Using a fona module with current networking stack

@KurticusMaximus @willingc I was asking how do they implement the networking abstraction on the ESP8266 because it is too a "AT" based network stack. So I could try to implement a similar one to SIM808.

Ive done some more research and discovered that micro python implements the Network module witch implements most of the connection, configuring and socket abstraction in a NIC. But at the moment I couldn't find any Python based examples on creating a NIC Class.

Oh and I looks like they...

[idle owl]

@formal plover Way to go!

[formal plover]

Thanks! It's really easy to grab the whole current conditions then cherry pick certain things out, like is it cloudy or is it hot etcetera

[idle owl]

That's really neat

[formal plover]

@idle owl Thanks!

I could probably even find a way to have it text me saying hey, it's nice out, or hey it's snowing now.

Since I live in Michigan, I will be getting the snow notification all the time in a couple months.

[formal plover]

@timber mango Haha okay, I'll give it a try some time this weekend.

[slender iron]

@pulsar bloom not that I know of. it'd likelt be in the bundle if there was

[formal plover]

@slender iron I think building libraries/drivers for sensors and other components is going to be a huge undertaking, unless there are a lot already available in micropython that can be ported.

[drowsy geyser]

@Kurt H Especially with the memory available. I am having trouble loading more than one sensor library...

[slender iron]

@formal plover definitely! That's why I want to get more people helping.

@drowsy geyser the m4 should reduce that issue

[drowsy geyser]

@slender iron Yup! Waiting anxiously. 😉

[formal plover]

@slender iron I hear ya! I've been trying to get people involved. Converting people using Arduino on circuit python compatible boards and whatnot, haha.

[slender iron]

@formal plover awesome! Try beginners too. Arduino users already know something pretty good

[formal plover]

@slender iron good call/point!

[idle owl]

raises hand Beginners. That's me.

@formal plover We looked it up. Turns out my first Adafruit order was 30 June. A week before that is when I got started into all off this.

Ok, I think I need some clarification on terminology. What is a driver in python? How does it relate to a library?

@formal plover @drowsy geyser If there's an SD card slot on the board you're using, can you use it to load CircuitPython libararies or does it only use onboard flash memory?

[formal plover]

@idle owl there's flash storage on the board, very small amount (4MB). Most libraries are packaged with Circuit Python. Others will have to be created or ported from micropython.

[idle owl]

@formal plover Right, but say you had the Feather Adalogger with an SD card on it. Could you use the SD card as CircuitPython space or does CP only work with on-board flash storage?

I'm thinking no. Because of how it's loaded onto the boards?

Resetting it and getting the .uf2 or .bin file installers...

[formal plover]

@idle owl as far as the drivers, they are for the PC so it can communicate with a board.

[idle owl]

Oh

So that is a huge undertaking. Like you said.

@formal plover I was thinking they were .py files that get used in CP code.

[formal plover]

The libraries and core code will be the biggest undertaking

[idle owl]

Or is that libraries.

Ah

[formal plover]

@@idle owl I would explain it, but I'd probably murder the explanation. Libraries simplify things to make it easier to code. Instead of typing a bunch of code, you can call a function from the library. Take NeoPixels for example:
`>>> np[0] = (255, 0, 0) # set to red, full brightness

np[1] = (0, 128, 0) # set to green, half brightness
np[2] = (0, 0, 64) # set to blue, quarter brightness`

np.write()

The interpreter would have no idea what np or np.write() were without importing the NeoPixel library.

So instead of having to define those yourself, the library has stored code that does it for you.

@idle owl but yes they are .py files, they don't have their own special file extension like .lib, and any python file will typical end in .py

Like in the NeoPixel lib, there's most likely a line of code defining the variable NP for you; NP = NeoPixel

[tawny creek]

is there a circuitpython library for the TFT Featherwing?

[formal plover]

@timber mango apparently there is uMQTT for micropython, however there is waning it uses micropython specific shortcuts and not to use it with CPython, So I'll try using the norma/full MQTT lib

[royal ridge]

@tawny creek The ILI library works, there's not currently anything for the STMPE610. It's on my list

er ILI is the GFX thing

[tawny creek]

the screen itself vs. the touch

[royal ridge]

yeah

[tawny creek]

had issues using both a TCS34725 sensor and a generic SSD1351 with the ESP8266 so maybe ill have better luck using the TFT featherwing + huzzah

[royal ridge]

I haven't tried my Huzzah + tft wing with CP..... but drawing works from my M0

You'll have to reroute a pin, IIRC

[tawny creek]

for the m0 or ESP?

[royal ridge]

for the ESP

[formal plover]

The MicroPython MQTT library doesn't port over 100% error free (didn't expect it to) @slender iron . I'll try to figure out what's preventing it from working , Right now I get :
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 11, in <module> File "/lib/mqtt.py", line 86, in connect MQTTException: 5

[idle owl]

@formal plover Thank you! That makes a lot of sense.

[formal plover]

@idle owl You're welcome!

[idle owl]

@formal plover I meant to tell you, I live in the same state. Never can tell when it'll decide to start snowing, or whether you'll just get sleet notifications for a few months first.

[formal plover]

@idle owl Haha that's too funny, I look up people's discord user names on Twitter to see if they use the same handle. I found your tweets yelling at home depot or something like that lolol.

[tawny creek]

side note, it feels weird to not hit the ; button like a period whilst circuitpythoning xD

I'm nailing it with false positives over here.

@tawny creek Yes they're awful. And happen often.

Well once we get to that time of year anyway.

[timber mango]

@formal plover probably still easier to check/port uMQTT

I think a "beginners how to help" Circuit Python doc might be a good building block.... I'm picturing a half guide to CP, half porting document for libraries/modules. Assume a newbie on all of it, but showing new users what to do when something is missing... ie what Kurt did with urequests, or the various asks for specific drivers (ie how to find a working module/driver elsewhere in MP or Cpython and help add to the "works in CP" knowledgebase.

Ultimately, adafruit boards, libraries, and drivers for things adafruit sells will get the most attention/support from CP... but really any person with an itch to scratch can help by making sure whatever itch they have, they can do in CP sooner than later.

[drowsy geyser]

@timber mango That's a brilliant idea. I think @slender iron started that with his learning system guides, but (sorry to say) I haven't really read them end to end yet. Your list should include "how to build the CircuitPython build toolchain on <platform>" - I've been thinking about doing that on Windows 10 but am pretty intimidated by it (I'm a UNIX guy but I need to learn Windows and the Windows software environment). I should start a OneNote and just dive in, then transcribe the OneNote into a learning system article. I think I'd be pretty comfortable hunting bugs in C++ code (CircuitPython is written in C++, yes?) but it's the environment and build process that has me intimidated. And we should include a link to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 storage with the build-on-commit CircuitPython images; I have it bookmarked but, IIRC, it took a few hops to find it. I think we should ask Scott for his opinion on where the guides/documentation should be, and the structure of the information therein. It would be extra confusing for beginners if we have too many locations for "ground truth" about the project.

Oh, and a "how to use the GitHub repos" for beginners article, too.

[formal plover]

@timber mango starting in order from your first comment regarding umqtt. I'll check that out. It says it uses micropython specific shortcuts, so I'll just find them and replace them with the CPython equivalent. The normal MQTT library takes up a ton of space anyways.

[timber mango]

@formal plover as @tulip sleet mentioned above, it might all be fixable with a "shim", such as 'import os as uos' which is much better than lots of search replacement. I worry about missing functionality more, and maybe the question is what micropython functionality is missing from CP, and maybe having a module that adds back that is best approach...

I agree, there is a good space reason for micro libraries...

[formal plover]

@timber mango right right. And I agree with you on the beginners how to help guide. @slender iron added beginner friendly tag to the GitHub, so that's a start.

@timber mango I think the guide is especially handy for the boards that can run CPython, but don't come with it already loaded.

[timber mango]

Yes, given the large number of esp8266 variations, I think that's the prime target.

I have nodemcu boards, and wiolinks, both of which runs it great. And those are really common boards, and with Wi-Fi support, the question of all of those network libraries becomes way more important, and so more libraries to verify work, port if not, etc...

[drowsy geyser]

@timber mango Will the networking libraries fit on the current boards?

[timber mango]

Some do... that's the nice thing about the micro ports... it allows more to fit, at a potentially reduced to basics functionality.

[drowsy geyser]

Hmmm. I'll have to go look at those libraries....

[timber mango]

Ideally, upip means that you can easily add libraries from stock locations with one command. So having a u-library that doesn't work for CP will mean either making another library or coming up with a shim to fix.

I'd really hate to see a whole mess of parallel libraries happen, that's a bad thing in the long run, and slows down potential bugfixes/support compared to just making the original work.

I totally understand the direction toward Cpython that adafruit is taking with CP... the vast majority of code out there is Cpython, and as boards get bigger, that's the right direction. But short term, micropython libraries are space conscious, and nothing is more frustrating than discover you can't build project X due to size constraints.

https://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=browse&c=639

Now compare that list to this one
https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=micropython&submit=search

Really the first needs to include all of the second.

As I browse thru that list, I constantly discover new cool things to play. For instance, cloudmanager. It's meant to mass control/manage multiple esp8266 boards, offloading things like package management into some central server more powerful and allowing boards to remain lighter and responsive.

@timber mango I'm excited for CircuitPython to grow. Right now it's in its infancy and you might not be able to use every library, sensor, or add on board out there. However the main CircuitPython supported boards will be great for newbies, they can plug in the board, drag a .py file to it and be on their way.

What's great about the Adafruit express line boards is: oh you want to use Arduino? Cool. You want to use make code? Cool. You want to use CircuitPython? Cool. That's awesome

Might cause some fragmentation issues, but that's where the community comes into play and helps build things up.

[timber mango]

Agree entirely.

[formal plover]

There's a IFFFT "Webhooks Channel" (Formerly the maker channel). All you have to do is a GET or POST requests to get it to trigger... I can get the response from IFTTT saying it's been triggered (using urequests in CPython), but it doesn't trigger. Do the same thing with using CURL in normal Python and it works instantly.

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on pull request #244: \[WIP\] Streamline docbuild

I'm not particularly wedded to the MicroPython docs. Most of them seem very board specific or advanced. So, for docs I say we remove most of them. However, we can use intersphinx to link out to pages that we do want to point people to.

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on issue #245: SD Cards producing OSError 19

Ok! Thanks for the report @fabitencourt. I will buy some more cards off of Amazon. I expected the newer library to work better. Perhaps they are even pickier about the chip select line. The arduino library is also much faster in talking with the chips.

[timber mango]

@formal plover what's the trouble with ifttt?

Maybe missing a variable/option?

[formal plover]

@timber mango maybe, it's weird. Like it tells me I triggered it in the response. The GET in ureqests is supposed to act similar to a CURL request.

[timber mango]

Check things like id#, token, etc... make sure all are correct.
There is an ifttt discord server, they might have specific advice.

Got rid of the {} and just put my event name in there without "" and it fired right away.

Dunno why that is, but I don't care now since I've figure it out.

Sooooo! if anyone want's to use IFTTT with the HUZZAH ESP8266, sign up for the webhooks connection.

Still, should have given a error on iffttt

You should report the bug, as false saying it was fired.

And congrats, ifttt is awesome.

Right it would say Congratulations! You've fired the %7Btest%7D event> So I knew something was jacked up because of the %7Btest%7D event

It's just supposed to be test it's in there as {test} because that's what the instructions say, which it does work if you use curl X POST.

[timber mango]

Where did the brackets come from?

Oh, yeah, I think they didn't meant to type those.

[formal plover]

Well it works with the brackets if you use curl X POST

Good to know though

[formal plover]

The instructions were written for normal python

@timber mango Right

[timber mango]

Curl must ignore those chars...

[formal plover]

Must be

That's fly though, the fact that it works using a library I was already using.

The idea is that I can have it trigger a IFTTT event from the OpenWeather API response or any other API response since I'm semi-pro dealing with that stuff now lololol

[adafruit/circuitpython] New comment on issue #245: SD Cards producing OSError 19

In my opinion the new library adafruit_sdcard.mpy from bundle candidate 2
is the best I've used. But still doesn't work with my Lexar cards. But they
work very well with my sandisk 16G card. That's the one I'll use. Now I
will try the DS3231 library. That's essential to my logger project. It's
all like Christmas gifts all around....📦🍾🎁👍

@formal plover nice. Have you signed up for the IFTTT maker (not the webhook) that lets you call multiple things?

[formal plover]

@timber mango maker channel has been replaced by the webhooks channel

[timber mango]

No no, they added a new Maker class of user.

@tannewt Sounds good to me.

Here's a link to a repo that has a reasonable doc structure which we can use for a cookiecutter https://github.com/willingc/doc-basics :smile:

Hi, could there be a way to write and upload Python Code with the Geany IDE?

If not possible at the moment, it would be nice to get an addon with Geany of sorts... please?
