Lucky you.

Hi @HellDesk, @tarmael, @kwix, there is a new firmware upgrade (0.9.6.b1) that fixes an issue that caused Pymakr to fail over serial port. This probably solves your problem. Please try it and post back any result.

@abilio when was that released? I downloaded the latest version yesterday and installed using the firmware update tool provided with Pymakr. The very first thing I did was update the firmware. All issues were with this version.

@abilio updated to latest 0.9.6.b1a and pymakr 1.0.0.b7

Can't connect to LoPy on COM on either Linux or Windows. CAN connect over LoPy AP WIFI on Linux!!
Cannot telnet to the LoPy, however I don't need that functionality. Last firmware released at least let me ftp to it, but I could only copy code to my PC, not put files onto the LoPy.

Anyway, code synced and updated to the LoPy!! I'm happy with this as a start, thank you and the team for their hard work in getting this resolved.

I've connected the LoPy to my local wifi now, and can confirm, it works over WIFI, not just LoPy AP. Only Linux though.

I work with a local github server so this will do just fine.

@abilio Thanks for your response and for the Pycom team on working on the solution to the issues. I did the same thing (firmware upgrade to 0.9.6.b1, pymakr 1.0.0.b7) and I'm using Windows 10.

I am able to:

• FTP into LoPy with read and write access to the files (i.e. I can update my boot.py)
• telnet to LoPy via putty
• connect to LoPy via WLAN using another computer (Mac OS X)

I am not able to:

• connect to LoPy via serial port (using both PyMakr and putty). PyMakr shows the following, and it seems like it connects to it then drops off:
  
• connect to LoPy via wlan using Pymakr

Also, I've kept the putty Window (serial) when I try connecting via my Mac (wlan) or Windows (PyMakr) and it prints the following during the attempts:

I've noticed in the new PyMakr, it has the Soft-reset settings as part of the configuration. Does this mean, the if machine.reset_cause() != machine.SOFT_RESET... is not needed for the boot.py? I've tried it with and without, and I have the same results. It should just work with this right?
import os
from machine import UART
uart = UART(0, 115200)
os.dupterm(uart)
