Unable to connect to board

Windows 8.1
Sparkfun ESP32 Thing

I installed uPiot to Sublime 3. When I issue any of the commands that would talk to the board through the serial port I get a dialog box to select which COM port to use, but when I select the port my ESP32 is connected to the port select window closes with no apparent communications. I have tried open console, erase flash, download firmware, etc. I have tried two different boards one with Micropython already programmed and one erased. I have been able to use uPyCraft successfully so the boards and COM port are OK.

Can you please check the output of the Sublime Text console ST Menu > View > Show Console, after try to open the console or any other command it should show any possible error. Paste the output here so I can help you

The last two lines 'reloading settings Packages/User/upiot.sublime-settings' were the result of an open console and a select serial port commands.

Now I've realized; after you select the port no new window is open? It should create a new one with the console, I'll try the plugin at windows 8, can you confirm the Sublime Text version you have installed?

[jevers76]

What type of window should I open? I can try tonight. I downloaded and installed 64 bit Sublime yesterday with the most recent version. I first un-installed an old install and deleted some sublime directores in user\appData\.

I've installed Windows 8.1 and this is how it looks like:

So I think the problem may be with the board (it's weird because ampy is from adafruit too), as I don't have one to debug it, can you try ampy in the board?

The are the steps to install it and test it:

• Install it with pip install adafruit-ampy
• List the file in your device with ampy -p yourport ls

Let me know if that command work with your board

[jevers76]

I tried ampy a few weeks ago just and it seemed to work. One difference I see from your example above is as soon as you type open yours has COM3 already selected. My computer was two COM ports and I am prompted to select one. When I make the selection the selection box closes and then nothing. I will try ampy again just to be sure. I am guessing it is unable to open the port I have selected. I was planning to put some prints in the sampy code. Do you know if the print results will come out the sublime consode? What time zone are you in? I am gmt -6 Minnesota, USA

The problem was there; if the plugin detect only one device, it will automatically select it and open the console if you have more than one devices it will make you select a port, but if you already have selected one and it's available it will select that port. To choose a new one, you should use the option UPIOT: Select Serial Port and then open the console.

There was a bug when multiples devices were connected. I've already fixed and you should get the update the next time you use ST, I still don't add a warning to restart Sublime after update the plugin, but you should do it to note the new changes.

Let me know if the problem is fixed or you find a new one, I'll happy to help you

Hi, I am able to connect to my ESP32 board after I updated your new files. Here are some observations and questions. Please excuse me if some of my questions are stupis as I am just starting with Micropython ans ESP32 and Sublime. 1. Is there a good way to update your changes? I un-installed and re-installed upiot. Could I just overlay the new files on top of the old? 2. Is there a way to connect to the ESP where every key goes to the ESP. Right now many keys seem to be filtered out like ctrl-C and other control keys. 3. when I did 'sampy ls' it showed my files, but when I did 'sampy run myfile.py' it showed file not found 4. The run command 'UPIOT:Run Current File' did not seem to work, but I think it did work one time, i think 5. It would be nice to have a stop program command, perhaps the ctrl-C functioning would satisfy that. 6. It would be nice to show the COM port connection status somewhere. I only was able to spend a short time today, but I will in the near future. I was planning to merge ampy with the terminal example that is with pyserial snd build my own ide, but now I will use upiot. Thank You John
