SSH access to tulip

[jobf]

Is it possible to get SSH running on the tulip? I imagine with it being a micropython environment there may be some limitations here but some way of running remote calls would be super nice.

The main reason I'm asking is that I have the USB host socket in use and desire a way to interact without a keyboard.

We don't have SSH running (yet!) I believe it would be possible. But, in the short term, you can just use the USB-UART port (the charge port) to type into / see Tulip's REPL. You will want to add tulip.tfb_log_start() to your boot.py to show the REPL on the UART, but once you do you can type into it / see it. Connect your computer to it at 115200 baud.

Fantastic! Just tested sending commands via the USB-UART port and it works great.

tulip.tfb_log_start() gives error:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'tfb_log_start'

Oh yes, since we wrote that we now have tfb_log_start on all the time, no need to put that in your boot.py. Also, try mpremote! It may be exactly what you need. https://github.com/shorepine/tulipcc/blob/main/docs/getting_started.md#using-mpremote
