playground express ejects when i copy uf2 files onto it

Post by fitzwatson »

Hello!

Even with the playground express in bootloader mode, as soon as I copy a uf2 file to it, it ejects and does not take the file. I have tried this multiple times on both a Mac and a PC. I see that there was an earlier post about this (from 2017) that seemed to have been resolved, but I can't figure out how.

Please help!

Wait, I think I figured it out -- the makecode file doesn't appear in the cplayboot files but i now realize i'm supposed to actually shake the thing to get it started hahaha, thanks everyone.
