It can happen to the best of us! I missed the ssl line in your example as well when typing it over. Great to hear it got solved

@nwjlyons It improved drastically, from 17 hours to 2-3 days. Definitely use deepsleep!

HI Mellow, I would be very interested to find how you did this.

@modellhaus I suggest you two things for help, the first is to modify your post and please enclose your code in correct code balise ( </> tool in line above )to help reading . The second thing is to post the error message and line number where it happen to help analysis.

Thanks everyone I'll figure out how to put your feedback into place :)

I am using a W01 module connected via P0, P1 (the standard Rx/Tx lines of the serial REPL) to a FT232R serial-USB-interface. The FT232R is powered from USB. By defining P0 (i.e. Rx) as input with pull down activated, it is possible to dectect if REPL (i.e. the USB) is connected (P0=1=yes) It may be interesting to note that UART operation is not affected by having Rx(P0) declared as digital input simultaneously. By this method, the module detects a serial console during boot and continues in REPL mode. If there is no active serial connection detected, it autostarts its application. I am not sure if this works with a Wipy since the serial-USB interface may be powered from the Wipy, possibly making the status of Rx independent of the USB cable connection.

I'm having a similar issue with mine - US, 915 mhz, on the dr=None allows the function to run but it never really joins.

@sandking So you used a 5v usb charger and connected it to Vin?

@seb I have not attached it yet, was doing the homework on what will work best. Will try it on the 3.3V, might go with a digital reading as all I am looking for is a true/ false statement to activate the relay

When I started I first read this tutorial to understand the Python language. Not everything is available in Micropython, but you get the concept: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/ I looked up details uniqe to Micropython here when I found something from Python that was not working: http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/pyboard/ For Pycom functionality documentation and examples are available here: https://docs.pycom.io/ Johan

@robert-hh Thanks for the info I have so much to learn I don't know where to start!! Best would be to find a good micro python training course and starting from scratch

@tobz https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11189 Or one of the many others (look for MAX3232 on Aliexpress or EBay for example)

@daniel I just test this and the behaviour is still as before. Trying to initialize the SD card without a SD inserted raises a OSError exception, which is OK. my English is bad and when i wrote Something was changed. than this was only assumption - i do not test this with current 1.6.3 firmware i tested this on 1.5.0 and it worked - and if for @kanu it does not work then i supposed that he tested this with current firmware Card detection is simply done via a GPIO pin good point - i must connect it :)

@josua Glad you got it working by doing the firmware upgrade procedure again
