75 W. I’ve been trying to do best practice and edit my code locally on the Host PC. That works fine. It all goes down hill when I try to save as main.py to the i75 W.
If freezes with the following on screen in Thonny.
Then if I cancel or X out the i75 W is MIA to Thonny. It’s seems to be hit or miss, with more miss. I actually got it to save and run. But when I went in and made a minor edit it locked up again during the save. Then went MIA again.
Sometimes just clicking stop will get it back, but when i run my file from Thonny I get the no module names interstate75 message. Only way to get it back is to reflash the uf2 file.
I’ve had to do that twice already this morning.
It’s been running just fine now for a couple of hours with the following code, running from Thonny.
