Hi,

MacBook Pro MacOS 10.14
uPyCraft v1.0
espressif esp32-wroom-32D

I got to the ‘Hello World’ Webserver exercise without a problem when I started to get the ‘Burn Firmware’ Window popping up.  This was mixed with an error telling me that the variable socket wasn’t recognized.  I managed to solve this by commenting out the code relating to usocket and just using ‘import socket’.  However the ‘Burn Firmware’ window came back when I reintroduced the ‘Try usocket as socket’ line in boot.py to try and figure out what was happening.  This time I couldn’t get rid of the problem and I decided to reburn the firmware.

I was using ESP32-idf4-20191108-v1.11 firmware and re-burning with this resulted in ‘update false’ failures.  I also tried the idf3 version (ESP32-idf3-20191109-v1.11) with the same result.  In both cases it looks like the reburn has been successful with everything looking ok until I reconnect to the serial port which is when the ‘update false’ window pops up.
Any ideas what is happening here?  Is there anything that I can try?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Cheers,
Chris

UPDATE:  I found the section t the end of the tutorial on using epstool.py. It seems to have fixed the problem…
