Partition Types¶
- factory - The main application (MicroPython + pyDirect)
- nvs - Non-volatile storage for system settings
- phy_init - WiFi/Bluetooth PHY calibration data
- vfs - Virtual filesystem (your Python files and data)
Status Bar¶
The status bar at the bottom of ScriptO Studio shows real-time device metrics:
| Indicator | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| RAM | Used / Total memory | 77.64 KB / 7.97 MB |
| TEMP | Chip temperature | 38.9°C |
| UPTIME | Time since boot | 18m |
| RSSI | WiFi signal strength | -41 dBm |
Understanding RAM¶
- Used - Currently allocated memory
- Total - Total available (includes PSRAM if present)
- PSRAM (SPIRAM) significantly increases available RAM
Temperature¶
Normal operating range: 30-60°C. Higher temperatures may indicate: - Heavy processing load - Poor ventilation - High ambient temperature
Using This Information¶
For Debugging¶
- Check Flash Size to ensure sufficient storage
- Monitor RAM to detect memory leaks
- Verify SPIRAM is enabled if needed
For Development¶
- Use Board ID for conditional code
- Check Frequency for timing calculations
- Reference MPY Version for compatibility
