Pymakr Atom Plugin released

[robmarkcole]

I'm on OSX Yosemite

[rdixey]

Would appreciate if the console text were colorized in the Atom plugin the same as it is in Pymakr. I found a lot of Atom UI/Syntax themes to play with but nothing that effects the Pymakr console. I see no way to set a theme or color / font in the Atom plugin settings. Is there a simple config setting somewhere?

[RobTuDelft]

@Ralph Yes, Putty works fine.

Unfortunately the Atom plugin does not.
Credentials and everything is still as default.

Also there are no active sessions on the Lopy when I try to connect through Atom. I try fresh after power cycle.

This is the exact message:

Connection error: Password timed out

[Ralph]

@rdixey The Syntax hilighting is a good idea, I think that has to be build into the terminal specifically. Added to the wishlist.
You can choose general themes for atom in the settings. The pymakr plugin will take the colors and fonts from the theme you select for atom.

[robmarkcole]

I uninstalled and reinstalled both Atom and the pymakr plugin, yet the problem remains unfortunately.

Pymaker has installed, but when I select one of the functions from Pycom Sync, nothing happens

[RobTuDelft]

@RobTuDelft To update on my own post, it did manage to connect today. After that I tried some commands and clicked 'close' to close the panel in Atom. This seems to be the source of the problem, the telnet connection will stay active on the Lopy, but not in Atom. When you want to reopen again you will get the password timed out error.

[Ralph]

@RobTuDelft Normally if a connection is still active to the device, you'll get a connection refused. if you get a 'password timed out' means that it reaches the device but something goes wrong during authentication. I've had this error a lot when the router at our office was not cooperating well and it just timed out. I'll do some testing on telnet today to see if I can reproduce it.
Which firmware version do you have running on your lopy?

[RobTuDelft]

@Ralph v1.6.12.b1. Thanks.

The error was thrown from the Pymakr package. This issue has already been reported.

@robmarkcole This is the error you get when anything goes wrong during installation of the dependencies, either of the serialport library or somewhere else during installation. If you remove the node_modules folder, the serialport library is the first one it will encounter and throw this error.

I noticed that everybody who got this error is on Atom 1.16, while I'm still on Atom 1.15 (on El Capitan). Possibly there is a compatibility issue there, which I'll check out.

[Ralph]

@robmarkcole This issue has been solved in this github issue. The problem is that for some users, atom is using python 3.x while the compiler for serialport needs python 2.x (you can check it using apm --version).

I've added an explanation on the bottom of the readme file in the develop branch on github. The short story is, until we've automated it, the issue is solved by running the folling command and then re-installing Pymakr.

echo "python=/usr/bin/python2.7" >> ~/.atom/.apmrc

[robmarkcole]

@Ralph Thanks Ralph, working now!

[robmarkcole]

@Ralph There is an error in your getting started doc, WLAN has not been imported. Is there a better way to provide this kind of feedback, e.g. Github? Cheers

[bucknall]

@robmarkcole thanks! We'll get this fixed :)

@robmarkcole

+1 for this error (on Linux Mint 18 64-bit). I've tried all the solutions listed but they did not work.

[robmarkcole]

Been getting a strange error after Atom loses connection to my board (e.g. when I sleep my mac):

Upon reconnection I not see the option to sync my code:

However upon restarting Atom everything is normal again.

V0.9.3 has been released with some minor fixes:

• Improved sync stability and speed over serial
• Solved disappearing line in terminal (github issue #3)
• Other small bugfixes
• Logger class for easier debugging

[Ralph]

@robmarkcole Thanks for the report, it was simply a wrong method name in the handling of the short-key ctrl-alt-s to do a sync. It has been fixed in the development branch on github and will be included in the next release. Unfortunately I released 0.9.3 today just before reading about your issue, so it'll be in 0.9.4 in a few days.

The missing sync and run button are a known issue, which I'm still investigating

[mmbermudeza]

@Ralph This solution didn't actually work for me even having python 2.7.
Tried the npm install of serialport in node_modules but the versioning was wrong.
At the end had to copy the folder from another computer and has been working ok since then

[Ralph]

@mmbermudeza Good to hear you got it working. We're considering pre-compiling the library and shipping it with the plugin, so we will prevent these kinds of problems. We'll have to do some testing though to see if it works for all operating systems.
