Example: Update MicroPython from Remote Manager using XML
You can use the API Explorer in Remote Manager to create a schedule that enables you to update the
MicroPython application. In this example, you want to add FTP client capability to the MicroPython
application. You will need to add the library uftp.py and then update the main.py application.
This example is done following these steps: upload the MicroPython files to Remote Manager, create
an XML file with the tasks that you want to perform, upload the XML file, and then schedule an
operation to upload the files onto your device.
Note You must upgrade your device to the latest firmware for all features to be available. See Update
the firmware.
