Thanks for the report! I believe the status neopixel color is fixed in master so keep an eye out for Alpha 5 next week!
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

Re: Alpha 4 and Feather M0 Express
Hi,
I have a new problem. I can not copy files to CIRCUITPY because I am told the file system is read only. I do not know if this is a Linux issue or a Feather issue. The weird thing is that I can copy an entire directory (lib) to CIRCUITPY, but I can not copy a single file because the FS is read only. This is truly strange!
Do you have any ideas?

Re: Alpha 4 and Feather M0 Express
The file system has probably become corrupted, probably becuase the board was reset or powered off before filesystem operation complete. On Linux, after you copy with the command line or a file manager window, eject CIRCUITPY, or just type `sync` in a shell. That will insure all the data is written out.
Since you're using Alpha 4, you can just do this in the REPL:
>>> import storage
>>> storage.erase_filesystem()
That will erase and re-create CIRCUITPY.

I have flash erased and rebuilt everything twice. Shouldn't doing that reinitialize everything?danhalbert wrote:The file system has probably become corrupted, probably becuase the board was reset or powered off before filesystem operation complete.
It may actually by my Linux FS that has gotten corrupted. I hope not, but it is possible. It takes several hours to rebuild that system.

Re: Alpha 4 and Feather M0 Express
Reloading CircuitPython does not erase the SPI flash chip. You have to use the SPI flash eraser program, or more easily, the REPL code above.
When I said your filesystem is corrupt, I just meant CIRCUITPY. Your host computer Linux filesystem is not corrupt. You -might- need to reboot to clear its memory about errors on a USB port, but I've rarely seen that.

Ahhhh! I did that, and things seem to be back to normal now. I do not know how long that will last though, because I am very good at breaking things...danhalbert wrote:Reloading CircuitPython does not erase the SPI flash chip.
