Permission denied: 'D:\\code.py'

Post by mirzam »

Hi. I try to continue my smart Teddybear project with my CircuitPlayGround Bluefruit. When I start Mu Editor it says I can't save to disk anymore (permission denied). Windows says the CiruitPy disk is write-protected. There are 1.13 MB left on the disk. My code is still in there. I tried to disable writeprotection in windows, but with no success.

I have previously tried to enable CircuitPython to write to disk with this code, in which I had little success.

import board
import digitalio
import storage

switch = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.D7)
switch.direction = digitalio.Direction.INPUT
switch.pull = digitalio.Pull.UP

# If the D0 is connected to ground with a wire
# CircuitPython can write to the drive
storage.remount("/", switch.value)


The last lines in the mu editor log says:

2021-07-04 15:28:37,240 - mu.logic:1189(save_tab_to_file) ERROR: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'D:\\code.py'

That code should work to selectively let CircuitPython write tot the file system by grounding D7 on power up or reset.

You put that code in boot.py?

Either than code has the file system in "writeable by CircuitPython" mode or the file system as become corrupted. See https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-c ... 2978456-23

If it's readonly becasue of the storage.remount() call, you can undo it in the REPL:

Code: Select all

>>> import storage
>>> storage.remount("/", True)
In either case you can't do anything about it in Windows.

In my code.py code I pasted, I am assigning a value from the switch on CircuitPython BlueFruit. The problem resolved itself when I changed the switch position, haha.

I'm so sorry to bother you. And thank you very much Adafruit for quick reply and support!

Good stuff!

BTW code to control the writability should be in boot.py, not code.py.
