Failure to connect

[chrisvelevitch]

I'm running rshell v0.0.14 on a Mac running OS X 10.13.6 and Python 3.7.0 and I'm trying to connect to a D1 mini which is ESP-8266EX-based from Wemos.cc, with a board rev. V3.1.0 and when I try to connect, I getting this error. Note: when I connect to a board which is rev. V3.0.0, I'm not getting this error.

$ rshell -p /dev/tty.wchusbserial14120

rshell.pyboard.PyboardError: could not enter raw repl

I tried to investigate why this is happening and it appears that in pyboard.py at line #185, you raising a PyboardError because you are expecting a response of raw REPL; CTRL-B to exit but this board is responding with Type "help()" for more information.. (See the end of the long single line of output above the first traceback call).

People have reported that they got things to work by adding a pause in pyboard.py https://github.com/dhylands/rshell/issues/66

I see the stream of gobbly gook that is sent at a different baud rate. I wonder if the commands sent by rshell to enter the raw repl are being sent while the UART is at the weird baud rate?

I guess its time for me to flash one of my ESP8266s with MicroPython and see if I can figure out what's going on.

It would be good to get a trace from wireshark (I know how to do this from linux: see: http://blog.davehylands.com/capturing-usb-serial-using-wireshark/)

It might also mean that rshell needs to split the process of entering the raw REPL into 2 distinct parts: enter the REPL and then once in the REPL enter the raw REPL.

I'm having this same issue. Will try to look into it a little more tomorrow ...
