I pulled out a Circuit Playground Express board I use for testing, and haven't used since 11/2020, and tried to update CircuitPython to 7,0 from my Windows 10 desktop. Double-clicking Reset brought up green LEDs and the cplayboot drive. Dragging adafruit-circuitpython-circuitplayground_express-en_US-7.0.0.uf2 to cplayboot changed the drive name to CIRCUITPY but the CPX began double-flashing red LEDs.
I thought this might be related to the bootloader so I checked github and saw the current bootloader is 3.13. I double-Reset the CPX and checked the INFO_UF2.TXT file which said the current bootloader was v. 2.0. I though upgrading to the current 3.13 might help and so went through the process, result: double-flashing red LEDs. To continue the madness, I reloaded Circuitpython 7.0 and still have double-flashing red LEDs.
Suggestions will be appreciated.
CPX won't

Re: CPX won't
Is there a code.py in your CIRCUITPY folder?
If you were previously using 6.x, you'll also need to update your libraries to 7.x versions.

Re: CPX won't
Thanks for the response. I had a code.py for a simple servo program with the adafruit_motor v. 7 library but hadn't updated the other libraries I thought didn't pertain to what I was doing. Reminds me to go slow and pay attention.
