Read code from device

Posted on
  • I've done a dumb thing and realised that the only working copy of some code I have is runnng on a puck, somehow I forgot to save the backup.

    Is there any way to get the REPL to print out the current code thats on the device, I tried pocking at the Storage functions but I get an error "Storage" is not defined

    @sammachin,
    Does dump() allow the desired results in the left-hand console panel of the WebIDE?

    Note to self: Make backups

  • thanks @Robin thats what I was looking for!

  • Glad to see recovery was successful from that unnerving experience!!

  • Just a note on this:

    If you're written code with save() then dump() will attempt to reconstitute it and the code may not be entirely the same - but is probably 'good enough' :)

    If you wrote code with save to flash then dump() will give you the exact code character for character that you uploaded.

  • Wow, 4 years down the road and this saved me! Thanks for thinking of everything @gordon! Your devices are so fun to work with.
