WiPy 3.0

[livius]

Hi,

on the page
https://pycom.io/product/wipy-3/
i see that we can buy wipy3.0.
Can you tell me what are the difference compared to Wipy 2.0?

@livius From the web site:
– RAM: 4MB
– External flash: 8MB
– Hardware floating point acceleration
– Python multi-threading
and I assume also revision 1 of the esp32.
and I hope also low power deep sleep supported w/o shield.

@livius
Yes, it is the new version of the WiPy with 4MB RAM, 8MB Flash and true deepsleep (and yes rev1 ESP32 as @robert-hh correctly assumed)

WiPy3, LoPy4, FiPy, GPy will all have this base configuration in common.

There are also news coming in the shields department. Stay tuned ;-)

@jmarcelino said in WiPy 3.0:

shields

Interesting :)

Do you know if there is the plan (near future) to make possible to attach external antenna to pytrack?
Without this it is usless e.g. in situation where you need to hide device in e.g. car and antenna is some tricky shape :)

@livius
Sorry to say but as far as I know there aren't yet plans for Pytrack updates, but yes completely agree that the antenna options should be more flexible! Thanks for the suggestion.

Could anybody test the free RAM on WiPy 3.0 using last firmware ? Just after restart/boot type :

import gc
gc.collect()
gc.mem_free()

@rcolistete

>>> gc.mem_free()

@jmarcelino regrading adding an external gps antenna ... you might now do it ... but couldu you please share with us a detailed schematic of the layout of the Pytrack? ... so maybe, us who want's to have a crack at it ... can hack it and add our own external gps antenna :-)

@jmarcelino Does this means the problem we having with the gps might take alot longer to fix?

[jmarcelino]

@stefan85e
Sorry, which problem?
