Restoring computer file write on macropad after creating boo

Post by RufusVS2020 »

I was trying to write a file from circuitpython on my macropad. I got the error: Read Only File System. After quick
web searching, I found out that to be able to write from circuitpython, one needs to create a boot.py program
like this:

Code: Select all

import storage
storage.remount("/", False)
and then unplug and replug the USB connector.

Now I can't load or change the program on the board because I don't know how to give access back
to my computer and mu editor!

It's probably something simple I just haven't found yet.

Never mind. There were instructions to just rename the boot.py using the REPL.
I thought I was locked out of the REPL. But then I hit Ctrl-C, duh.
I'll leave the question here in case anyone has the same issue.
