pymakr will not sync project

[feabhas]

I am loosing the will to live here.
I am having a reoccurring problem with pymakr just hanging when trying to sync a project after a previous successful sync.
I have the latest firmware installed.
I can telnet/ftp/screen (I'm on OSX) to the picot LoPy unit
I can see the REPL cli in pymakr
But whenever I try to sync a simple project (setup.py and main.py) it just hangs

My project is setting the IP address using DHCP to my local network (successfully)

The only way I can seem to recover is to always have to do a factory reset of the filesystem
this seems pretty extreme and unacceptable operation.
Any ideas? Any way of getting a log file for the comms between pymakr and the LoPy board?

MicroPython v1.8.6-379-gc44ebac on 2017-01-13; LoPy with ESP32

@livius thank you so much, I too was banging my head with the same issue, FTP is much better and reliable, I'm using tera term to see the console.
thanks

@livius thanks for the advice will give it a go.

@feabhas
Do this in different way:

1. create file e.g. wifi_sta.py
2. write to it any config (IP settings) and other methods
3. in e.g. main.py write
   if button()==1: #you can use ==0 if you need different action to be default
   execfile('wifi_sta.py')

in this way if your sync will fail
you have still your board with default AP settings when you press button or not

and in my opinion - do not use Pymakr.
I do not use it - only i work by ftp - edit and put file back
It is faster for me.
