Package: adafruit-ampy-master
ampy replacementWe have been working on the next version of ampy which will solve various problems with the current system. Based on a new modular architecture, it makes adding device support and features very simple using plugins. It also aims to support coding over WiFi for supported devices. This should eliminate the need to have a wired connection and improve reliability as well.Hereis an alpha release please go ahead and play with it. Leave suggestions for a new name in the issue section. :)ampyMicroPython Tool (ampy) - Utility to interact with a CircuitPython or MicroPython board over a serial connection.Ampy is meant to be a simple command line tool to manipulate files and run code on a CircuitPython or
MicroPython board over its serial connection.
With ampy you can send files from your computer to the
board's file system, download files from a board to your computer, and even send a Python script
to a board to be executed.Note that ampy by design is meant to be simple and does not support advanced interaction like a shell
or terminal to send input to a board.  Check out other MicroPython tools
likershellormpfshellfor more advanced interaction with boards.InstallationYou can use ampy with either Python 2.7.x or 3.x and can install it easily from
Python's package index.  On MacOS or Linux, in a terminal run the following command (assuming
Python 3):pip3 install --user adafruit-ampyOn Windows, do:pip install adafruit-ampyNote on some Linux and Mac OSX systems you might need to run as root with sudo:sudo pip3 install adafruit-ampyIf you don't have Python 3 then try using Python 2 with:pip install adafruit-ampyOnce installed verify you can run the ampy program and get help output:ampy --helpYou should see usage information displayed like below:Usage: ampy [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  ampy - Adafruit MicroPython Tool

  Ampy is a tool to control MicroPython boards over a serial connection.
  Using ampy you can manipulate files on the board's internal filesystem and
  even run scripts.

Options:
  -p, --port PORT  Name of serial port for connected board.  [required]
  -b, --baud BAUD  Baud rate for the serial connection. (default 115200)
  -d, --delay DELAY Delay in seconds before entering RAW MODE (default 0)
  --help           Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  get  Retrieve a file from the board.
  ls   List contents of a directory on the board.
  put  Put a file on the board.
  rm   Remove a file from the board.
  run  Run a script and print its output.If you'd like to install from the Github source then use the standard Python
setup.py install (or develop mode):python3 setup.py installNote to run the unit tests on Python 2 you must install the mock library:pip install mockUsageAmpy is made to talk to a CircuitPython MicroPython board over its serial connection.  You will
need your board connected and any drivers to access it serial port installed.
Then for example to list the files on the board run a command like:ampy --port /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART lsYou should see a list of files on the board's root directory printed to the
terminal.  Note that you'll need to change the port parameter to the name or path
to the serial port that the MicroPython board is connected to.Other commands are available, run ampy with --help to see more information:ampy --helpEach subcommand has its own help, for example to see help for the ls command  run (note you
unfortunately must have a board connected and serial port specified):ampy --port /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART ls --helpConfigurationFor convenience you can set anAMPY_PORTenvironment variable which will be used
if the port parameter is not specified.  For example on Linux or OSX:export AMPY_PORT=/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART
ampy lsOr on Windows (untested) try the SET command:set AMPY_PORT=COM4
ampy lsSimilarly, you can setAMPY_BAUDandAMPY_DELAYto control your baud rate and
the delay before entering RAW MODE.To set these variables automatically each time you runampy, copy them into a
file named.ampy:# Example .ampy file# Please fill in your own port, baud rate, and delayAMPY_PORT=/dev/cu.wchusbserial1410AMPY_BAUD=115200# Fix for macOS users' "Could not enter raw repl"; try 2.0 and lower from there:AMPY_DELAY=0.5You can put the.ampyfile in your working directory, one of its parents, or in
your home directory.
