Hey party people, I’ve been enjoying i75 so far, saw that there were some updates, grabbed new uf2, and button b (boot) stopped working. just me? or someone else had same issue?

pimoroni-pico-v1.19.12-micropython.uf2

import interstate75
i75 = interstate75.Interstate75(display=interstate75.DISPLAY_INTERSTATE75_64X64, stb_invert=True)

while True:
    time.sleep(0.025)
    if i75.switch_pressed(interstate75.SWITCH_A):
        print("this works")

    if i75.switch_pressed(interstate75.SWITCH_B):
        print("this doesn't work")

Looks like we forgot to add a way of handling the BOOT button on the original Interstate to the shiny new way of doing things 🤦It’s wired up differently than button B so will need handling differently in interstate.py.

I’ve opened a Github issue to get it on our software team’s radar - you could follow it for progress updates? Interstate 75 - Interacting with BOOT button using interstate.py · Issue #654 · pimoroni/pimoroni-pico · GitHub
