@andy12 said in Lopy with pysense shield + deep sleep issues: wake_s = ds.get_wake_status() Hi, I have the same problem, maybe Did you resolve it?

We created a service with multiple characteristics but could only see the first characteristic using BLE scanner.

To upload a whole project to the pycom board with Visual Studio Code, one has to the File > Open Folder command. Choose the folder where all your .py files are in, e.g., main.py, boot.py and so on. By opening the folder instead of a single file, the IDE and pymakr recognizes all files and interprets them as project. It took me ages to understand how this works... There are so many tutorials and guides around pycom, but there is not guide going through really ALL steps.

@robert-hh Thank you, that did it (Setting the single connection only).

@jamjam In the last Kickstarter update they said end of Sept, but let's say 2 months.

@jmarcelino , @robert-hh After the flash is deleted and the refresh seems to work with the latest release ... we hope well.. Thanks to everyone for help Regards

okmarts is happy to help you.

@JimT Sorry, I could have told you. You may use a 1N4001 model (or any of the 1N400x series). You have to put that in series to the solar module, Anode of the diode at the + pin of the solar module, Kathode (the side with the ring on the diode case) to the charger module's + input. Doing that, the voltage of the solar panel will be reduced by about 0.7 V. I would add a small load too behind the diode, to cap the no-load case, like by a 1 k resistor at the chargers module input between + and GND. You can use the additional power in lead pads of the charger module for that. I see that the module has already a built in diode, but that is a MPB120 Schottky type and reduces the Voltage only by 0.3 V.

@jmarcelino Once again, thanks for the great feedback. I was looking for a simple way to alert when the battery needs to be recharged. Looks like some simple logic could be: if voltages gets to 3.3, alert for recharge... So many LiPo batteries have differing characteristics, even among the same model/make/capacity/manufacturer. I don't think there is real value is tracking a percentage... without extensive battery testing. Simplest thing to do is just report voltage. From the example from HERE do you recommend using the following: numADCreadings = const(100) def ADCloopMeanStdDev(): adc = machine.ADC(0) adcread = adc.channel(attn=1, pin='P16') samplesADC = [0.0]*numADCreadings; meanADC = 0.0 i = 0 while (i < numADCreadings): adcint = adcread() samplesADC[i] = adcint meanADC += adcint i += 1 meanADC /= numADCreadings varianceADC = 0.0 for adcint in samplesADC: varianceADC += (adcint - meanADC)**2 varianceADC /= (numADCreadings - 1) print("%u ADC readings :\n%s" %(numADCreadings, str(samplesADC))) print("Mean of ADC readings (0-1023) = %15.13f" % meanADC) print("Mean of ADC readings (0-1400 mV) = %15.13f" % (meanADC*1400/1024)) print("Variance of ADC readings = %15.13f" % varianceADC) print("10**6*Variance/(Mean**2) of ADC readings = %15.13f" % ((varianceADC*10**6)//(meanADC**2))) print("ADC reading for Voltage (0-1400 mV) = %15.4f" % (meanADC*1400/1024)) From the ACD pin 16 voltage, the voltage is the meanACD*1400/1024 Does not seem right, the output is 4966.3634.

@jcaron Isn't this the opposite of what what stated here: Not completely the opposite, it's still more efficient to use a regulated 3.3V supply (low voltage forces the onboard regulator into bypass ECO mode) But it needs to be updated to reflect that 3.3V should be applied to the 5V/VIN pin. Is the Pysense/Pytrack sending power to the module via 5V Yes, all the various shields implementing deep sleep control the *py board's 5V rail

Thanks jmarcelino, 1.7.4.b1 works.

OP Here I also uninstalled atom and pymakr a couple of times. I also uninstalled pymakr a third time and installed using apm install and that did not work.

@tcb Thank you!
