Hello,
It was easy to get the example code working after I wiped the device and recreated CIRCUITPY volume with the latest release.
https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpyth ... /tag/2.2.4
Question is that even though I can get the library examples working, I'd enjoy having the original demo main.py file that was shipped with the Circuit Playground Express. Not critical but figured someone could post it here.
thanks!
Where can I find original demo (main.py) for express.

Re: Where can I find original demo (main.py) for express.
Unless there has been a recent change in the shipped configuration, the CircuitPlayground Express is shipped with a MakeCode demo, not CircuitPython and a main.py.
The original MakeCode demo is available here:

Hey thanks for the quick reply. Sounds good. I am able to run all the examples of the 3 languages. But there was a cool demo when it shipped called main.py that had spinning lights, coin.wav, etc. on the CIRCUITPY volume that I didn't like losing. No big deal. I've already ordered my 2nd unit. Totally love this thing.

Ah - sorry for any confusion - If there was a main.py on the shipped system, then my information and the guide are outdated.
Hopefully someone official can comment.

tell you what, when my new unit arrives and if it has the demo, i'll post. The whole point is to learn to code so doing that now. :)

Re: Where can I find original demo (main.py) for express.
I looks like the CPX is now shipped with CircuitPython - the guide has been updated to add a link to the "as shipped" files:
