mpsync 0.0.1

A synchronization tool for micro python boards

mpsync

mpsync is a little tool that you can run during your MicroPython development to automatically upload changes in your code to a board. Simply run it inside the folder you want to sync up and it will create, upload, and delete files from and to your board whenever something changes.

How to Use

usage: mpsync [-h] [-f FOLDER] [-p PORT] [-v]

A tool that continously synchronizes a folder to a MicroPython board.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FOLDER, --folder FOLDER
                        The folder that should be used to synchronize. Default is the current one
  -p PORT, --port PORT  Serial port of the MicroPython board.
  -v, --verbose         Print debug information.

You can specify the folder you want to sync either by starting the script from the folder or by specifying it in the --folder argument. You can specify the location of your MicroPython board with --port. Here is an example:

~ $ cd micropython_project
~/micropython_project $ mpsync -p /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART

Known Issues

mpsync is currently unable to synchronize the moving of folders. Everything else should be working. If you are having troubles, please open an issue.

Dependencies

mpsync requires the python libraries watchdog and mpfshell.

Ideas

I have some ideas on how to improve this tool. Let me know via an issue if you have ideas as well!

• Performing an rsync on the complete folder when the script is started
• Support moving of folders
• Support specification of waiting time before stuff gets uploaded.
