Console (REPL)

MicroPython has an interactive code tool known as the REPL (Read Evaluate Print Line). The REPL allows y'all to run code on your device, line past line. To begin coding, get to the Pymakr Plugin Console and commencement typing your code. Start past making the LED change colour.

                          import              pycom              # we demand this module to command the LED              pycom.heartbeat(False)              # disable the blue blinking              pycom.rgbled(0x00ff00)              # make the LED light upwardly green in color

You can change the colour past adjusting the hex RGB value.

            pycom.rgbled(0xff0000)              # at present make the LED calorie-free up crimson in colour

The panel tin be used to run whatever python lawmaking, also functions or loops.

Employ print() to output contents of variables to the console for you to read. Returned values from functions will also be displayed if they are not defenseless in a variable. This volition non happen for lawmaking running from the main or boot files. Here you demand to use print() to output to the panel.

Note that subsequently writing or pasting any indented code like a function or a while loop, the user volition have to printing enter up to 3 times to tell MicroPython the code is to be closed (this is standard MicroPython & Python behaviour).

Also be enlightened that code written into the REPL is not saved after the device is powered off/on again.

Run

To test code on a device, create a new .py file or open an existing one, type the desired code, save the file and and then press the Run button. This volition run the lawmaking directly onto the Pycom lath and output the results of the script to the REPL.

Changes made to files won't be automatically uploaded to the lath upon restarting or exiting the Run feature, equally the Pycom board volition non store this code. In guild to button the code permanently to a device, use the Upload feature.

Projects

Pymakr Plugin supports user projects, assuasive for pre-configured settings such equally default series address/credentials, files to be ignored and folders to sync.

pymakr.conf

Pymakr Plugin supports local projection settings using a file called pymakr.conf. This can be used to shop the default serial address of a device, which files to ignore and other settings. An example pymakr.conf is shown below:

            {              "address":              "/dev/cu.usbserial-AB001234",              "username":              "micro",              "password":              "python",              "sync_folder":              "scripts"              }

Upload

The Pymakr Plugins have a characteristic to sync and upload code to a device. This can be used for both uploading lawmaking to a device as well as testing out scripts by running them live on the device. The following steps demonstrate how to employ this feature.

To start using the Upload feature, ensure that a project folder has been created for the device. For instance, if using the pymakr.conf from above, this project folder should be named scripts. This folder should have the following construction:

Library files should be placed into the lib binder, certificates into the cert folder and so on. The Upload button will take the highest level folder (currently open) and upload this to the connected Pycom device. The files will be pushed to the device in exactly the aforementioned structure as within the code editor's file directory.
