Use makecode after circuitpython

Post by DrDoewie »

Hi,
On a Circuit Playground Bluetooth, I have briefly looked at circuit python. Now I want to use it with Makecode for my kid.
Somehow the makecode is not placed properly and not running at all.

On your website it mentions that the simple move from using circuitpython to madecode is not working. Is there another way to get this done?

Thanks

Switching to a MakeCode program is just a matter of taking the UF2 that MakeCode builds from your project and copying it to the CPLAYBTBOOT drive that mounts when you double-reset. If you had CircuitPython on the board, it will be replaced by the MakeCode program. Similarly, if you reinstall CircuitPython (by copying the appropriate CircuitPython UF2 to CPLAYBTBOOT) the Makecode program will be replaced.
