New micro:bit firmware about psst HOT 15 CLOSED

@jamesadevine I tested the sound level with this firmware and I think the data stops streaming after a few seconds. I tested the same code with the version of the firmware I was using earlier and this does not happen. I tried looking at the logs but there are too many log statements for me to identify a specific cause. Do you have any suggestions for me to send debugging info that would help?

How do I repro this?

from psst.

James can you add the makecode project somewhere in the repo?

@pelikhan repro steps:

1. start the development server with yarn start
2. go to localhost:3000/dashboard.
3. connect Micro:Bit with the linked firmware installed, and connect.
4. add a note handler to the sound level.
5. keep making some sounds for a few seconds.
   You will notice that the value stops changing after some time (after about 30-60 seconds).

I've added instructions to rebuild the firmware at https://github.com/make4all/sonification/blob/main/makecode-microbit/README.md

@venkateshpotluri try again with the new firmware and build of jacdac-ts. I'll leave my device to run overnight to see

from psst.

@pelikhan I tried the following and the issue still persists.

trial 1

1. installed the makecode project by running npm install -g makecode
2. navigated to the makecode-microbit folder.
3. executed mkc -d

trial 2.

steps 1-3 above, and then copied in the firmware linked in this issue.

from psst.

The firmware linked is outdated. I have removed it from the comment to avoid any kind of confusion.

• Make sure to run npm install -g -u makecode to update any previously installed version of the command line tool (-u forces the update)

I will try to repro again. Are you connecting any Jacdac devices to your micro:bit?

from psst.

I followed the steps you suggested and still run into the same issue. I do not have any jacdac devices connected: I just have the Jacdapter connected to the Micro:bit.

from psst.

I tried again with the jacdapter removed and the issue persists.

Venkatesh, incase the instructions were unclear, please load the following hex file onto your micro:bit:
mbcodal-binary.zip

from psst.

I tried with the above firmware, and I do not see the value stopping after 30-60 seconds. It has been ten minutes for me.

Peli and I had a debugging meeting, and my understanding is that we were able to resolve this with the latest firmware that Peli shared with me. This issue appears to be resolved, @pelikhan we can close this if you feel that this is fixed as well.
