INFO

This is an Interpretable client library with the full Pepeunit Framework feature set.

Example

boot.py

python
import gc

import uasyncio as asyncio

from pepeunit_micropython_client.client import PepeunitClient

print('\nRun init PepeunitClient')

client = PepeunitClient(
    env_file_path='/env.json',
    schema_file_path='/schema.json',
    log_file_path='/log.json',
    ff_wifi_manager_enable=True,
)

async def _boot_init():
    if client.wifi_manager:
        await client.wifi_manager.connect_forever()
    await client.time_manager.sync_epoch_ms_from_ntp()

asyncio.run(_boot_init())

gc.collect()

client.logger.warning('Init Success: free_mem {}: alloc_mem {}'.format(gc.mem_free(), gc.mem_alloc()), file_only=True)

python
"""
Basic PepeUnit Client Example

To use this example, simply create a Pepeunit Unit based on the repository https://git.pepemoss.com/pepe/pepeunit/units/universal_test_unit on any instance.

The resulting schema.json and env.json files should be added to the example directory.

This example demonstrates basic usage of the PepeUnit client with both MQTT and REST functionality.
It shows how to:
- Initialize the client with configuration files
- Set up message handlers
- Subscribe to topics
- Run the main application cycle
- Storage api
- Units Nodes api
- Cipher api
- Async work

Important features

  1. The library has been tested on esp32 and esp8266.
  2. On esp8266, out of 38kB, about 19–21kB of RAM remains free after the full initialization of the library as shown in the example.
  3. Due to the lack of https support, only http is supported on esp8266 when working via REST.
  4. The library itself is already built into the Micropython firmware image using freeze, which allowed us to significantly free up RAM. This approach was chosen because of the very small amount of available RAM even when installing via .mpy files.
  5. In addition to this library, the custom Micropython build also includes:
