To start, I just need to be well setup.
I have a Raspberry pi Pico W 2022 with the hat Display Pack (4 buttons).
I pasted the pimoroni-picow-v1.20.4-micropython.uf2 into pico directory.
Whit Thonny, I’m uploading some examples provided, as the balls_demo.py. Doing Thonny PLAY, I’m getting
MPY: soft reboot
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'false' isn't defined
or I tried a simple .py file that import the library import picodisplay as display
I got this error ImportError: no module named 'picodisplay'
Guessing my uf2 paste is not working ?
Thx for your precious help, I’m just a beginner but have basis at python, lua, hlsl…
The term “pasted … into pico directory” makes me wonder if you’ve got the Pico W in bootsel mode (see about halfway down in the Getting Started with Raspberry Pi Pico ‘installing firmware’ section)
(edit to clarify: in bootsel mode it should appear as a drive named “RPI-RP2”, and you copy the uf2 file onto that)
Yes, I did bootsel button and copy-pasted the “w” uf2 to the mounted drive given. To be sure, here are in detail:
holding bootsel button, pluggin USB
copy-pasting the pimoroni-picow-v1.20.4-micropython.uf2 to the “RPI-RP2” mounted drive
– it reboot automatically
in Thonny
– pressing “Stop” to refresh the connection
— pico appears
– right click on the balls_demo.py, upload to…
– double clicking onto the balls_demo.py from the pico
– doing “play”
Hmm, are you using the latest examples? I think import picodisplay kind of retired when the whole PicoGraphics thing happened, so it might be you’re trying to run older code on newer firmware?
