Hi,
Is there an option in circup.exe to define the name of the CIRCUITPY drive to be scanned/updated? Can it be added?
I have multiple CircuitPython devices connected to my Windows 10 PC. To keep me straight I have renamed those drives using the drive Rename option under This PC. As it is now I must rename the drive back to CIRCUITPY >> run circup.exe update >> rename the drive back to the preferred name. This is a PITA.
circup update --all --drive=MYCPDRIVE

Re: circup.exe option
Hi, there is the --path option to give the path or on windows I guess the letter.
You can open an issue in the circup repo with your suggestion.
https://github.com/adafruit/circup
I wrote discotool as a generic tool to find boards by name and drive name. It does more complex things than circup needs, but it will automatically find any Circuitpython board and run circup commands by passing the drive path. It can filter by drive name, board name, serial number...
It can be installed with pip.

It can do that:
You can check the name, drives and serial number by simply calling discotool.

Re: circup.exe option
Neradoc,
Thanks for your suggestions, but not wanting to setup a full up Linux machine
I applied parts of what you said to my Windows 10 machine. All my playing came down to: This code did all I need done to a select (H:) CircuitPython machine. My libraries were WAY out of date, so it took a while to update 283 libraries.
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
Bruce

Re: circup.exe option
I'm glad you got it solved !
Note that nothing I mentioned requires a linux machine, it all works on Windows 10.

Re: circup.exe option
Neradoc,
The installer for circup.exe sticks the executable down deep in the directory tree.To save me the suffering of tracing that path down the rabbit hole and typing each CircuitPython device's drive designation (H:) I created this Windows batch file. When saved in a convenient location where the end user can easily find it, it will go to the circup directory and update the AdaFruit devices on drives G: through P:.
