For WiPy 3.0 my wish is it can be smaller. Go for 1.27mm pin pitch and use a breadboard adapter if you have to. In my dreams the OEM module would be a SOIC-28 or similar package and the the Development Kit would simply be a board with a socket for it.

@bigboy20769 I see at least two options: call the respective init methods in a try block call os.uname and check the type of module

See https://github.com/jczic/MicroWebSrv2 for the updated version

@robmarkcole Using robust.py, I'm seeing the same problems, but now I'm getting a good error message back. Typically after a few hours I get (continuously repeated): mqtt reconnect: OSError(105,) So, I should be able to catch that and then kill and then restart the session.

@reader-uk said in VLC Radio - IP remote control via Wipy 2.0: Originally I tried keeping this socket open and forced open. This was problematic and found its just as quick and efficient (and correct?) to open the socket, send command then close the socket. If it work then this should not be modified ;-) You can try to leave it open e.g. for 10 minutes and close if no command to send. Something like session timeout. Nice project :)

Thanks for the replies. I figured I must be missing something. I didn't find anything about read() or write() in the PyCom docs and the uio micropython library isn't mentioned either. I'll give it a shot today. Sounds like it will work perfectly for my needs.

@jmarcelino if that is built in to the low level esp.read and esp.write to flash, then it may be transparent, covering anything in flash, like binary code, frozen bytecode and file system. It would then protect against raw readout of flash bypassing the esp.

@tinjaw Thank you. The original WiPy (version 1) is not supported by the Pycom updater, the updater is only for the newer ESP32 based board (WiPy 2, LoPy, SiPy..) For the original WiPy you can download updates from the MicroPython site: http://micropython.org/download#wipy and install via FTP as described.

Hi @jancb, please try the example on our GitHub repo - https://github.com/pycom/pycom-libraries/tree/master/examples/mqtt - I need to update the docs as they are out of date! Thanks!

@RobTuDelft It's proprietary. I am writing raw HTTP data to TCP socket and then reading and decoding POST data (JSON).

@soren Those pins are connected to the LoRa chip (SX1272) using SPI so you may see unexpected behaviour

@sthomson No. i have played videos over wifi. I will try to stream video over wifi from one wipy to another and will let you know.

You cannot use the pycom updater for a Wipy 1.x. These have to be updated via OTA. Images and instructions are on the micopython.org web site. There is also the forum for that product.

I have tried this before with LoRa and it didn't work. I expect the same result with Wi-Fi as the clock and other network delays are the biggest problems. To get accurate results you would need a very reliable clock, which isn't available. Also ntp servers will only let you sync up to a certain accuracy which is not good enough by far. Fingerprinting, multilateration etc. are maybe alternatives you could check out.

Yes it is. The "trick" for me was to uncheck the High Speed transfer option when selecting the COM port. Once I did that it connected right away. For the jumper I used a terminal block lead (terminal blocks on each end) from an arduino kit connected to the little solder spikes on the Wipy 2 board. The update took 1- 2 minutes although I didn't time it.

@Eric24 you have here whole source code https://github.com/pycom/pycom-micropython-sigfox

@robmarkcole said in Wipy motion and ambient conditions sensor node: Hi @RobTuDelft the sensor is AM312 Mini PIR Sensor, https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B016Y10B3O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=brau03-21&ie=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=ll1&linkId=0bb8888d752ec23f1d451691989542c8 It is used in https://github.com/bruhautomation/ESP-MQTT-JSON-Multisensor and has on-board processing as described in the linked video

@amartinez for server node it is not good to have while not wlan.isconnected(): time.sleep_ms(50) You do not connect wifi here only you start Access Point (AP) - look if it start on network list scan on client node side or your PC
