Circuit Python

Post by Josefforsberg »

Does installing Wippersnapper disable circuit python? I'm very new to development boards and circuit python and I recently got a metro m4 express airlift. I installed circuit python on the board previously and tried out Wippersnapper today. I noticed that after connecting to IO that I could no longer create any code.py code and have it work. Thanks for any insight.

Yes, both Whippersnapper and CircuitPython are firmware that gets loaded into the device's internal flash. You can only have one firmware (i.e. UF2 file in this case) installed/running at a time. Installing one replaces anything that was previously installed. If you want to use CircuitPython again, you'll need to reinstall the CircuitPython UF2.
