Macropad OLed behavior

Post by 8023 »

Hello, when the PC is off (USB power on, no serial connection) the OLED shows the status (error?) of circuitpython itself without any time out.
Is there any way to disable this behavior?

Surpressing terminal output to displays has been a contentious issue. Some developers feel this is critical and hate the noise it creates. There are a few suggestions in the linked thread. Probably the easiest to try is:

boot.py:

Code: Select all

import displayio
displayio.release_displays()
