Itsy Bitsy M0 Express main.py

Discussion Arduino & AVR
1

I’ve just received my ItsyBitsy M0 Express and like the idiot I am I over wrote main.py before copying and saving it.
I’ve not found that the documentation for this device is spread over a mass of pages on the Adafruit site and would be most grateful someone could let me have a view of the script supplied on the device as this will be a working example showing how to program the RGB LED built into the board.

If you buy one of these COPY MAIN.PY BEFORE you overwrite it.

Managed to get this from a helpful member of the Adafruit Forum. I’ll put it up in case it is useful to others.

This is a great little board and does so much.

They’re great boards, aren’t they? Thanks for posting the solution too; that’s always helpful. :-)
