ssh module
- get method, download the file using scp protocol
- put method, upload the file using scp protocol
- list & llist methods, list files on server using sftp protocol
- exec method, execute any command/application on server and get the rusult
Neopixel module
- uses ESP32 RMT peripheral for precise timing
- custom timings can be set, any RGB chip can be driven (defaults to WS2812)
- any color order is supported
- included methods: clear, set, setHSB, get, show, brightness, HSBtoRGB, RGBtoHSB, timings, color_order
hwI2C module
_thread module
- _thread module is greatly improved and more reliable
- creating thread returns unique thread id used by various thread methods
- inter-thread notification support, methods: notify, getnotification
- inter-thread messaging, threads can exchange data, methods: sendmsg, getmsg
- helper methods: getReplID, replAcceptMsg, getThreadName, getSelfName, allowsuspend
- threads can be suspended, resumed and killed, methods: suspend, resume, kill
- list method, list running/suspended threads to screen or return tuple with threads information
Multiple threads can run smoothly, for example I'm running 5 threads for more than 24h without any problem:
Code: Select all

>>>
- B_Led & R_Led blinking leds for 100 ms every second
- BME280 reading BME280 sensor data using hwI2C and sending inter-thread message to main (repl) thread, accepts notifications for changing/disabling report interval and measure&report on request
- Neopixel cycling rainbow colors thru 24 WS2812 RGB leds, accepting inter-thread notifications to change brightness and report counter status
- FTPServer running python FTP server
Repl still runs smoothly, without noticeable effects on other threads even when performing such a task as downloading the file from ftp server.
