Firmware release 1.0.1.b1
-
Hello everyone,
As promised, releases will be done on Thursdays from now on. The change log from this new version is
- lib/lora: Add necessary code to allow ChannelAdd to work on 915mhz bands.
- lib/lora: Allow removal of channels in the 915Mhz band.
- docs: Document the newly added Bluetooth methods.
- esp32: Initial BLE API with scanning, connect and get services.
Special thanks to @cmsedore for the LoRa fixes :-)
We had planned to also add a method to get the characteristics from a BLE services, but we ran into problems and we are in touch with Espressif to have that resolved as soon as possible. Next week we will add the ability to read and write characteristic values.
Please have a look at the methods added to the BLE class in:
https://docs.pycom.io/pycom_esp32/library/network.Bluetooth.htmlIf you have any feedback or suggestions regarding the API, please do let us know!
I've also had good news from Espressif today, and it all looks like we will have the SDcard drivers ready for next week's release too!
The updater tool can be downloaded from here: https://www.pycom.io/support/supportdownloads/ (Under Firmware Updates)
All the source code is now available on Github too:

Looking good! Finally my SiPy + LoPy order seems to be shipping so will get to play with that new Bluetooth goodness soon :-)

It looks very promising
all my code work stable in this version - i know not long test but work okconnected WiPy to computer and send sensor data

The download link (https://www.pycom.io/support/supportdownloads/, Firmware update) for Linux points to v1.0.0.b2, for Windows points to v1.0.0.b1.

@rcolistete
but updater tool download data online@daniel
When AP+STA - i need it to create "Sensor Gateway"
Now i simulate it and change mode after recived some portion of data
and connect as STA.
After data sended back to AP mode.what is this?
OSError: [Errno 9] EBADF -
The bluetooth.start_scan(x > 0) interface may prove to be an issue for eventual deep sleep support... Not sure if there's a "better" way or not. The example under resolve_adv_data somewhat shows an issue. There's no way to break out of the loop once the scan finishes.
How many advertisements are cached? That should at least be documented.
I'll try to think of a more deterministic API, but I'm overloaded.
-
@rcolistete it doesn't matter. What's important is that just before flashing the board the updeter tool reports the correct version of the firmware that it's going to program.
-
@jasonriedy it caches 8 adv messages. I'll add that to the docs. In the future the API will also support registering callbacks.
-
@daniel Thank you! Unfortunately, some environments see MANY BLE advertisements, so a call-back (possibly filtering by an array of addresses) would be great.
-
@livius AP+STA is planned for early january after getting the BLE API complete.
That OSError means that you are trying to perform a socket operation on an invalid socket (one that is already closed). Probably you are trying to re-use a socket that was active before you switched between AP and STA mode or viceversa. Close your sockets before switching modes and open them again afterwards.
Cheers,
Daniel -
It also seems the Mac version points to 1.0.0.b1
-
Most likely the download link was not updated. The only way to be sure is by checking the output of
os.uname() -
Thanks but I unfortunately I am currently in the land of poor internet (Philippines) and that could be a 45min experiment.
It would be nice to know for sure and resolve any confusion for others as well.
-
I see. I'll try the macOS update myself and let you know for sure here

@sakis
Sorry, I was hoping this was a quick link check, not a download and actual test. I appreciate the time. -
No problem. I just tested it and it is the right version:
(sysname='LoPy', nodename='LoPy', release='1.0.1.b1', version='v1.8.6-264-gadacebe on 2016-12-22', machine='LoPy with ESP32') -
@sakis
Thank you sir! -
@daniel
can you add to updater tool option to use files from dir not from internet?
e.g.- i can transfer all files to pendrive and go to computer without internet connection and update my board
- i can change something in source code and do custom
make
and need to flash it to the board
previously i do this simple by replace files in "updater" folder and run updater tool
-
@daniel
I set my Lopy to WLAN.STA mode and connect it with the router, then i ping it's IP address on my computer successfully.
But if there is a way i can ping the IP address of my computer on the Lopy.
If and how i can save any data to the flash? -
@DongYin said in Firmware release 1.0.1.b1:
If and how i can save any data to the flash?
you can write files to the `\flash' folder without any problem
