i discovered that when I loaded an older file namely "/home/pi/Documents/rfm9x/adafruit-circuitpython-adafruit_feather_rp2040_rfm-en_US-8.1.0-beta.2.uf2" instead of "/home/pi/Documents/rfm9x/adafruit-circuitpython-adafruit_feather_rp2040_rfm-en_US-8.1.0-rc.0.uf2", the problem got corrected. The newer file seems to cause the
CIRCUITPY description to change to 7.3 mb volume which Mu does not recognize and, it don't work.

Both of those filenames are indicating pre-release versions (beta and rc for release candidate). The release version of 8.1.0 was just made available. Try that and see if the same issue persists:

I tested this with a fresh RP2040 RFM69 board, and loaded 8.1.0. It starts out with a CIRCUITPY drive that is 7MB, as expected.
When I try it with Mu 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 22.04, it seems to work fine.
What version of Mu are you using, and what operating system and version are running on your Pi?
This sounds like more of a Mu problem than a CIrcuitPython problem. Could you give more information about these problems:
Save your work if necessary beforehand, since CIRCUITPY will be erased.

You might try reformatting CIRCUITPY. In the REPL, dowhich Mu does not recognize and, it don't work.
Code: Select all
>>> import storage
>>> storage.erase_filesystem()
