Dowload program to Clue board

Post by mom0sarah »

When I try to download a program to the Clue, it shows up on the drive but disappears when I disconnect from the computer. One of my students is trying to make the plant watering system from Adabox 15. The guide to put it together is great, but we really need an idiot's guide to the programming part.

What device/drive are you copying the code to?

I have the bonsai buckaroo attached to the clue. I plug the Clue board in and double click the button to see the drive in my files. I can put things in the directory, but they just disappear when I disconnect it.

So you are copying to CLUEBOOT? You should be copying your code (and libraries) to CIRCUITPY. CLUEBOOT is only for installing CircuitPython.

That is, if my assumption that you are using CircuitPython is correct.

In any case, be sure you have read, understood, and followed the CLUE guide https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-clue.
