MicroPython • Re: Get file from server and execute it, http/Rest

I'd like my Pico W to boot up - do an API Rest call to my server, retriver the "Sensor.py" file - save it locally on the Pico W and then execute the file.

Is that possible?

Yes, but an "API Rest call" may not be what needs to be used.

Should I have my "get file" code in the boot.py? And save the sensor.py as main.py?

I wouldn't recommend either. I would leave 'boot.py' as is, have 'main.py' call 'download.py' to load the latest and then run the latest 'sensor.py' you have.

My goal is to have the Pico W get the latest version of its code everytime it reboots

Should be achievable.

Any sample projects that I can look at?

Not that I know of. Google may know better.

The basic Proof of Concept code should be fairly trivial so, when I get a few moments to spare, I'll see what I can create.
