New firmware release for Pytrack and Pysense version 0.0.6

[daniel]

Hello everyone,

We have released a new firmware for Pytrack and Pysense that finally allows to check the wake up reason.

You can get the firmware from here: https://docs.pycom.io/chapter/pytrackpysense/installation/firmware.html

and use the .get_wake_reason() method to query it. It can return 3 different values:

WAKE_REASON_ACCELEROMETER = 1
WAKE_REASON_PUSH_BUTTON = 2
WAKE_REASON_TIMER = 4

Please check the new libraries:

Cheers,

Hi @daniel

I am having trouble downloading the Pysense firmware from the link shown.

When I go to the first link I see

But when I click on the Pysense DFU hyperlink, the screen fills with characters as below

Is the link broken, or am I trying to access this in the wrong way?

I have followed all of the other instructions, including loading Zadig, but can't seem to download a copy of the latest firmware.

Thank you for your help:-)

@RodgerG I think you are trying to access it the wrong way. You simply need to download those files. In my browser (Chrome) if I click on the links, the files are downloaded immediately. Is that not the case for you?

@rodgerg your browser displays the dfu file. If you don't see it in your download folder try a right click and select somthing like "save link as...".

@daniel
Thanks for the hint and the file downloaded fine when I used Google Chrome.

I had previously tried Internet Explorer and MS Edge, with similar results. Perhaps it was caused by a Norton add-in ???

@crumble Thanks for your hint as well.
