I will update to the Trinket
adafruit_circuitpython_etc.uf2

I dont how I can fix this

thank you for hint's

cheers
update I had a Adafruit Trinket - 5.0V
is there diffrent handling

The TRINKETBOOT drive & CircuitPython are only fore the Trinket M0. The older Trinket (5v & 3v) and C++/Arduino only. And may not work well (or at all) on modern computers. See the warningon the product page:

Deprecation Warning: The Trinket bit-bang USB technique it uses doesn't work as well as it did in 2014, many modern computers won't work well. So while we still carry the Trinket so that people can maintain some older projects, we no longer recommend it.

Hi Dave
so its better when I buy a Trinket M0 for update to adafruit_circuitpython_etc.uf2
cheers rog
Hope a 3500 - Adafruit Trinket M0 is fine

[dastels]

If you want to use CircuitPython, yes an M0 board is the absolute lowest-end board that will do it. Keep in mind that even then you will be severely limited in what you can do because the SAMD21 (that's the "M0") has very little memory and CircuitPython likes memory. A SAMD51 (i.e. "M4") board, preferably an "Express" one (meaning it has additional flash for libraries, etc) will give you more capability. There are Feathers, and the ItsyBitsy M4 Express is closer in size to the Trinket. Even smaller are the QtPy boards, but again I'd stay away from the SAMD21 board if you hope to do much with CircuitPython.

Hi Dave
I will build this one

and there is a M0 board, im not so the pro, i dont know I can do whit the worng borad that I had Bought

The Trinket M0 should handle that project quite well.

Hi Dave
thank you for taking the time to help me

[MrRog]

For Mr Dave, you also a cod expert ;-)
Im not so sure in which File I can define the Button, which is triggered as soon as I press the button
would it be possible for you to look a few minutes in code thank you

Do you mean the key that gets sent? If so that's the buttonkeys list. The list of available keycodes are at https://docs.circuitpython.org/projects ... de-keycode.

Dave

[MrRog]

Hi Dave
where can I specify which ButtonKey I want to have sent, that I have not understood
the since I have also looked at, thank you

[MrRog]

found this in code.py
# The keycode sent for each button, will be paired with a control key
buttonkeys = [
Keycode.SPACE # Space
]

is it possible to get the number 8 when I click,
sorry I know newbi question lol
Cheers rog

[dastels]

Yes, my previous response already answered your question.

ok Dave, thank you, have a nice weekend
