@m5stack I will share pseudo-codes of the current implementation, which is stable so far:

CycleTimer = Timer(-1) def main(): # init and connect mqtt client doCycle() def doCycle(): global CycleTimer # send stuff from mqtt # NOTE: do not use machine.lightsleep() as publish() is NOT synchronous # lightsleep() will block data from being sent CycleTimer.init(period=5000, mode=Timer.ONE_SHOT, callback=doCycle)

NOTE: this is power-intensive; calling lightsleep() will cause uiflow's mqtt client to crash quickly.

@doublep hello, could you refer me to where you read that value from?

@robalstona Yes I get that. But WHY? As I mentioned earlier, this makes testing code uploads a pain.

@lukasmaximus Not to be taken as Thonny being an inferior app; my Windows has a lot of crap inside. It seems pymakr on VS Code is more reliable on my Windows. pymakr has its own quirks; one of which is refusing to download binary files (eg. images).

Will wait for more motivation to revisit Thonny again.

@m5stack Did a quick machine.deepsleep(10000) test and it seems to work! Will add more code to see how this extends battery life.

Thanks!

Upyloader, Mu and Thonny are all great tools with a nice GUI that you can use to transfer files to and from the flash of your device
