Boot.py conf lost

[Laurent Toutain]

Hi,

I've a strange behavior with the boot.py file. At the boot time, boot.py is executed and connect correctly to my wifi network and returns the IP address, but when I get the REPL prompt, the configuration is lost, isconnected returns false. If I run manually the script, then the connection is fine.

Thanks for your help

Laurent

@Laurent-Toutain how long does your boot script for the connection to get established. That may take a few seconds.

Hi Robert,

I takes few seconds, in both cases it works, I got the IP address, but when boot.py is started automatically, I lose the information. Note the variable are available from REPL, I can manipulate wl, but the connection is lost. When i start manually it works. Looks like something after the boot.py reset the connection. I don't know what is Smart Provisionning started in the background means.

Thanks

Laurent

@Laurent-Toutain Smart provisioning is the pybytes stuff, which indeed mangles with the communication interfaces. If you do not use pybytes, switch it off.

import pycom
pycom.pybytes_on_boot(False).

If that does not work, create a file on your device called pybytes_config.json and the content:
{"pybytes_autostart": false}
