Lost board and digitalio files

[pridgenr]

I have just started working with Circuit Playground Express, and seem to have accidentally deleted my board and digitalio files, resulting in errors. Where do I find replacements to download?

There are no board and digitalio files, those modules are part of the CircuitPython runtime.

What errors are you getting?

import board
import digitalio
import time

led = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.LED)
led.direction = digitalio.Direction.OUTPUT

while True:
led.value = True
time.sleep(1)
led.value = False
time.sleep(2)

When using VSCode to copy the blink sample code from the webpage, I get the message. "Import "board" could not be resolved". Is this just a quirk of CircuitPython on VSCode?

Are you sure you're running the code on a CircuitPython device, or something with Blinka?

Its a Circuit Playground Express running version 8.something. It shows in File Manager as F:CIRCUITPY. This program runs, and can be tweaked to change the blink rate. However, I'm puzzled why it has imports like board and digitalio if they're not needed. I wanted to be sure I hadn't deleted something by mistake and messed things up.

They are needed in the code you posted.

So it sounds like VSCode is complaining about the board module. Which makes sense since there's nothing for it to find/resolve.
