@jpaul Good to hear. Our tutorials don't cover auto-connect very well yet, we'll work on that!

@martinnn Found the issue with your firmware updater. If you would want to update to a dev version, you need to download the development version of the firmware updater (here). They will release it as stable soon, but not until then, use this dev version.

@nervencid With autoconnect to false, it indeed tries to connect to the address 192.168.4.1, so the output you posted is as expected. To connect you can either: connect to the devices wifi and klik connect again, or: change the auto_connect setting to true, or: set the address setting to the correct comport (you can find it using the 'list serialports' command)

Hi, We dont have any official support for debugging on Visual Studio. I suspect ptvsd also has significant native functionality to linux/windows and wont be easily ported to micropython either. Sorry I cant be more help

Hi @John-Baird I hope you (and I) find a satisfying environment to work with these devices. Another project I've come across since then is balena (which used to be called resin) https://www.balena.io/ It's a very cool project, with almost everything open source and which can be self hosted. I talked about my use case on their forum https://forums.balena.io/t/edge-node-manager-for-wipy-micropython/2549 and someone replied with this https://github.com/Bucknalla/resin-pycom-ota project which I haven't had the time yet to try out. The idea is that you have a device that acts as and "edge manager", that device runs balena and whenever you upload new code (git commit & push) the edge device will update your pycom devices.

when you click run just the single file your editing it sent to the board its literally as if you typed each line into the Repl. this is fine if its just your main.py script. but when libs need updating they dont get sent as you have discovered. The reason for the reset being required is to force micropython to reload its previously loaded and cached copies of libraries There are work arounds for hot reloading code, but its way easier to just reset the board during development

@pybuggz Have you checked for any moved jumpers or pressed buttons?

@gmedlicott it's not True by default, because older firmware doesn't support it. We have documentation for pymakr settings here

@nickboots Have you tried Pymakr 1.4.4?

Hi @james Could you try reinstalling VSCode and Pymakr? I've tried 1.27.2 and it works fine, so it might be something with your config. I haven't seen this issue yet, so it might be related to something else.

Yup, still the same lack of buttons after disconnect/reconnect

Thanks heaps @dan Its working fine for me now on VSCode 1.27.2 :-)

in this section, there was only : #terminal { background: #000; padding-left: 2px; } I have added the line : font-size: 16px; and that is better to read , thanks !

Thank you! Worked on first try! Johan

@alvaroav Good to hear it's solved. I'm still not sure if it's another plugin, because another user had this and it was gone after a window reload. Might be some edge case in button usage.

That's a lot! I did not expect that when we started working on the plugin :) Thanks for posting!

@ralph Thanks for the fix. We appreciate it! Chris

OK Ralph, It wil work now

@charly86 No idea. I ran it once, and it worked. Now that I tried it again, it fails. I can get the file listing, but cannot download files. Normally, I use FireFTP, since I have anyhow Firefox running most of the time.
