Pyportal Pynt IO and SSL Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

Ok, I just tried your code (updated to my user account) and am getting the same error, so I'm going to hack on it a bit and see if I can get it to work.

Awesome sauce... Thank you!

BTW, so, my original PyPortal (and I'm not worried about this one because I'm not going to use it) won't update at all. This is a weird bug... I did the exact same process and still won't update. But if it's like the one that now works, it will probably just update in a few days if I turn it on again. But, seriously... no worries on this one, just thought it's worth mentioning.

Ok, I found the source for your code here: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Ci ... io_post.py. I went ahead and slightly modified your code to work the way I think you were trying to get it to work:

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE

import busio
from digitalio import DigitalInOut
import neopixel
from adafruit_esp32spi import adafruit_esp32spi
from adafruit_esp32spi import adafruit_esp32spi_wifimanager

print("ESP32 SPI webclient test")

# Get wifi details and more from a secrets.py file
try:
    from secrets import secrets
except ImportError:
    print("WiFi secrets are kept in secrets.py, please add them there!")
    raise

# If you are using a board with pre-defined ESP32 Pins:
esp32_cs = DigitalInOut(board.ESP_CS)
esp32_ready = DigitalInOut(board.ESP_BUSY)
esp32_reset = DigitalInOut(board.ESP_RESET)

spi = busio.SPI(board.SCK, board.MOSI, board.MISO)
esp = adafruit_esp32spi.ESP_SPIcontrol(spi, esp32_cs, esp32_ready, esp32_reset)
"""Use below for Most Boards"""
status_light = neopixel.NeoPixel(
    board.NEOPIXEL, 1, brightness=0.2
)  # Uncomment for Most Boards

wifi = adafruit_esp32spi_wifimanager.ESPSPI_WiFiManager(esp, secrets, status_light)

counter = 0

while True:
    try:
        print("Posting data...", end="")
        data = counter
        feed = "rx"
        payload = {"value": data}
        response = wifi.post(
            "https://io.adafruit.com/api/v2/"
            + secrets["aio_username"]
            + "/feeds/"
            + feed
            + "/data",
            json=payload,
            headers={"X-AIO-KEY": secrets["aio_key"]},
        )
        print(response.json())
        response.close()
        counter = counter + 1
        print("OK")
    except (ValueError, RuntimeError) as e:
        print("Failed to get data, retrying\n", e)
        wifi.reset()
        continue
    response = None
    time.sleep(15)

Also, there's a library for Adafruit IO (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Ci ... AdafruitIO) with a bunch of examples. It might make things a bit easier.

The code you modified did work! You rock! The data is a bit cryptic for me, so, I will look to the other examples. I did pull the code you modified from an example... and all I did was change the web address to connect to my AdafruitIO page. But thank you so very much!!!!

[MakerMelissa]

Excellent and glad to hear it. Thank you so much for your patience.

Just an update on updating my original PyPortal... this is using the ESPTool.py provided above.

I found that using a power only usb cable has s better chance to update. This one actually made to 100% but somehow managed to fail. So, it's still not updated.

I've had to plug in, unplug many, many times and then the code works to a point. It seems this is a tricky bugger, so I'll keep trying. But thought it would be worth it to note to hopefully improve the software.

If you want me to create a new post for this, I am happy to do so.

Finally! Got my original PyPortal updated to 1.7.1!

For those of you with the same issue:
I just kept at it every weekend... I've probably rebooted the thing 1000 times. Today, I erased everything, upgraded to Python 6.2.0-rc.0 and rebooted probably 5 or 6 times and then it worked... but specifically from a charge only cable... I've been experimenting between plugging in to my computer and a dedicated power source. It seems as though it obtained a higher percentage when on power only. Maybe this is just a coincidence, but I felt I should at least note it.

So just run the esptool.py:

print("ESP32 Nina-FW")

# Override these if you are manually wiring. Otherwise, this will use ESP pins from board.
tx = board.ESP_TX
rx = board.ESP_RX
resetpin = board.ESP_RESET
gpio0pin = board.ESP_GPIO0

uart = busio.UART(tx, rx, baudrate=115200, timeout=1)

esptool = adafruit_miniesptool.miniesptool(
    uart, DigitalInOut(gpio0pin), DigitalInOut(resetpin), flashsize=4 * 1024 * 1024
)
esptool.sync()

print("Synced")
print("Found:", esptool.chip_name)
if esptool.chip_name != "ESP32":
    raise RuntimeError("This example is for ESP32 only")
esptool.baudrate = 912600
print("MAC ADDR: ", [hex(i) for i in esptool.mac_addr])

# Note: Make sure to use the LATEST nina-fw binary release!
esptool.flash_file("NINA_W102-1.7.1.bin", 0x0, "dc81f0433dfba6de33c78b5c5911261d")

esptool.reset()
time.sleep(0.5)

Then check to see if it works... The green light should come on, but always confirm:
