Pymakr Atom Plugin released

[Ralph]

V1.1.0 update. Includes a big refactor round that gets the code in line with the VSCode plugin. This has very little effect on the UI and features, except for a new config option 'open_on_start' that can be used to hide the plugin by default. All problems with the serialport should also be resolved (bindings file not found and serialport version mismatch errors), as long as you are on the latest atom version (1.19 or higher)

• Big refactor to get a shared base code with the VSCode plugin
• Added 'open_on_start' config
• Fixes issues with serialport lib for newer versions of atom
• Bugfix in the run feature on linux.
• More relaxed keep-alive protocol on telnet (ping has to fail twice before connection break)

On my Mac I installed last ver of Atom (1.20.0 x64) and pymakr plugin (1.0.3). I'm connected to LoPy through serial.
After I created a simple file test.py containing this:

import uos
uos.uname()

Sync &Running the project with Atom raise errors. Do I have to configure something to run a simple python file?

On Windows 7 with Atom 1.20.1x64 only Pymakr version 1.0.3 is offered as latest compatible version.

Then the package fails to be loaded anyway:

@danielm Hi, i am new here. I also facing the same problem as you. May i know how can we fix it?

[Ralph]

@mj @danielm I see your issue. To explain: from pymakr 1.1.0 on we added a version limit to the plugin (<=1.20.0), with the goal to make sure that when a new version of atom comes out, we can test it before we release the plugin for it as well. The problem is that if you are on an old pymakr version before this limiter, but update straight to a new release (1.20.1 was released last week) you'll be stuck with an incompatible version.

I'll test pymakr with the latest Atom and will release 1.1.2 very soon. A quick fix would be to downgrade to atom 1.20.0, then update pymakr to 1.1.1

[Ralph]

@MJ @danielm A new version has been released. Let me know if this solves your issues.

Hello,

I am trying to connect to Pycom (1.1.3) from Atom editor (Atom: 1.20.1, Electron: 1.6.9, Chrome: 56.0.2924.87, Node: 7.4.0) on Ubuntu 14.04. I added Pymkr 1.1.3 automatically using the Atom GUI. The Atom editor crashes when clicking on connect, after retrieving and setting the USB serial port for Pycom. The message displayed is "Editor has crashed. Please report this issue". I am totally new to the environment and trying to do my first set up. Could anyone help me identify the source of the problem and fix it?

Thank you!

[Ralph]

Hi @lesure1, thanks for reporting this. I've just tested it on ubuntu and it seems that the serialport lib is not working properly for this version on ubuntu. I'm inspecting and fixing it now and will send you an updated plugin tomorrow to see if it's working.

[lesure1]

@ralph, okay thank you. Looking for the update.

Hi,

I just updated to Pymakr 1.1.3 in Atom (macOS). Ever since the update I get the following error when trying to sync:

Reading file status
Synchronizing failed: timeout. Please reboot your device manually.

I do have a connection and Running files doesn't seem to be a problem. But I can not get it to sync.

I've tried both soft, hard and factory reset of the LoPy as instructed on:

https://docs.pycom.io/chapter/toolsandfeatures/bootmodes.html

If anyone can help I would be grateful.

Mathies

edit: I've also tried upgrading the firmware.

[MJ]

@ralph Thanks. Our problem solved.

@mahe
Hi! I have had the same problem today.
Pymakr 1.1.3 in Atom (Windows) gives the same error:

Reading file status
Synchronizing failed: timeout. Please reboot your device manually

I solved the problem by uninstalling Pymakr 1.1.3 and reinstalling Pymakr 1.1.1

To do so, I used the apm command like this:

apm install Pymakr@1.1.1

I got the 1.1.1 version from https://libraries.io/atom/pymakr

I hope this will work for you.

[Ralph]

@jaltet @mahe If you didn't notice yet, we deployed an update on Friday (v1.1.4) that solves the issue introduces in 1.1.3.

Let me know if this is indeed the case on your machines.

[mahe]

@ralph

Thanks,

I'm still experience problems though:

Synchronizing failed: undefined. Please reboot your device manually.

[soren]

@mahe me too.. was away from the lopy for 5 months, and hoped things would have become more stable with the atom plugin... pretty disappointed

[Ralph]

Another update, a bigger one this time:

V1.2.0 - Download feature and multi project support

• Splits 'sync' into 'download' and 'upload'
• Adds detection for selected project in the tree-view
• Better stability for upload

Please let me know if you have any feedback on these new features!

[raxy]

@raxy
