IDE "Send to Espruino" stops working--size limit exceeded?

@Robin,

The values in my screenshot for post #22 came from the Web IDE connected to my Bangle.js v1. I actually never even noticed the blocksize before and haven't done anything I'm aware of to change the default value. 13 definitely seems like an odd number, though.

Hope you are not superstitious!     ;-)

'definitely seems like'

and, . . . 13 is actually an odd number. . . . ha ha, wink, wink    ;-P

The English Language at times can be quite persnickety

FWIW I have been successful at over a 30K ~1000+ line file (which would minimize to 9K with comments removed) upload to a Pico. While doing this I kept an eye on available memory.

This is completely off topic, but on an ESP32 with 4MB of flash space I routinely upload a 180K program file from the Web IDE that gets minified down to 90K or so, and everything works fine.

I post this just as a reference. The Web IDE certainly works in that case...

And you identified a prime example I completely overlooked, thanks for pointing that out :-)

Thanks for chiming in with another reassuring reference point about large apps. It seems there's something odd about my Chrome/Ubuntu setup, which is very strange because I installed Chrome only to use the Web IDE. Regardless, Gordon's catch of the exception seems to have fixed the problem for me in the beta IDE.

Ooops! yet another   (unless that is intentional - and I just caught it)

Italics 'prime' example describing text '13' example, that is in fact an odd Prime Number.

Thank you for posting that analysis @MisterG

In order to reduce confusion within the Espruino community and for our new members, I believe the Pico micro referenced is different from an Espruino Pico I mentioned in my post.

from separate @MisterG thread 'The PICO I'm using (M5StickC) is just an ESP32'

The ESP32-Pico is likely an Espressif chip

with 4M of integrated flash - eigth times the capacity

while the Pico I'm referring to is an authentic Espruino Pico using the STM32 by STMicroelectronics.
