Pymakr cannot connect after firmware upgrades

[richardkt]

@Ralph Hi, any idea on when the fixes will be released?

[Ralph]

@richardkt Next week we'll release a new version of Pymakr, as well as a firmware update.

@Ralph some progress - the new firmware seems to be stabler under wifi, but not usb.

USB still throws a stack widget error, but wifi seems to be moderately stable - had it fail once when I disconnected screen.

Until the basics like realtime clock are there, I need to use other platforms so I'll come back in a while and see if the platform has matured. Until then I'm using the WiPy under ESP32 IDT.

@jonirons @rogierb @livius @stevePy Last friday, pymakr 1.0.0.b7 was released. It has a lot of bugfixes that relate to the issues all of you posted in this topic. Please try this version (together with the latest firmware) and let me know if this helps with your issues. I'd love to hear your feedback, so I can get an idea of any remaining issues.

this is my review of my WiPy2.0

can connect:

pymakr b7
firmware 9.5!

can't connect:

pymakr b7
firmware 9.6 (newest)
---
pymakr b6
firmware 9.5

any previous firmware execpt very early from 2 months ago and from the same time pymakr
is unable to connect by serial port

hi @livius, thanks for the review. I tested both 9.5 and 9.6 firmware vesions and I'm able to connect using serial and telnet.

Did you try both serial and telnet, or only one of them? There is an issue in the situation where your wipy is connected through your home router and you're connecting to it's IP address over telnet. In this case it takes about 30 seconds (or 3 pymakr connection tries) before telnet is available after a device reboot. That could be mistaken for not being able to connect at all.

Could this be your problem? If not, could you provide more info on what happens when trying to connect to the latest firmware? A screenshot of the pycom console for example. Thanks in advance!

@Ralph
No, i am talking only about connect by serial (COM) in Pymakr.
I can connect to my WiPy2 by telnet or ftp in all firmware versions.
I can connect by serial throught any aplication like COM port monitor or putty
but i am not able to connect by Pymakr.

A screenshot of the pycom console for example
i am not currently by my WiPy but this is "standard" info something like
connection fialed click once again to reconect
and clicking once again does produce same lines and prompt to click once again...

@Ralph Just upgraded to release '0.9.6.b1' and pymakr 1.0.0.b7. Everything works awesome :) Thank you! Now, let's start playing!! :D

[livius]

i can connect to my WiPy without any problems by COM :)

Good to hear @livius and @rogierb!

Sounds like we can close this topic now. If anyone still has similar issues, please create a new topic.
