This is the second time this has happened to my Tufty 2350. I just turned it on by pressing reset and got a blank screen. Pressing Home does nothing. Windows explorer shows it as USB Drive, and I get a Please insert disk into USB Drive. If I put it into USB Disk mode by pressing Reset twice I get …

New release is now official if you want to give that a try too - you’ll need to flash the -with-filesystem build to get the updated apps so be sure to back up any important code first. [image] Release Version v2.0.0 · pimoroni/tufty2350 Change All The Things This release includes a sign…

I can only recommend not to edit directly on the device. Edit on your PC and copy the file(s) with the explorer to the “USB”-drive once done. The explorer knows that this is a removable device and takes care, but the editor might not.

I’m making sure to close Thonny, file explorer, etc. Even if I just mount it, then eject I get the same error? It looks like I’m going to have to edit a copy on the PC anyway, or lose all of what I have done the next time it happens. EDIT: And this last time it happened I wasn’t mounted or editing …

The USB-drive feature is something Pimoroni added to their MicroPython fork. CircuitPython has this since years. I think it will take some iterations until this feature is stable. I also monitor the Adafruit CircuitPython forum. And while it still does happen once in a while that the USB-drive conte…

[image] bablokb: The USB-drive feature is something Pimoroni added to their MicroPython fork. CircuitPython has this since years. I don’t like this feature at all… I always run code on-the-fly on the device while I am developing. I like the instant feedback and quickly change code and re-run…

What I have done is flash nuked my Tufty 2350, and flashed it with the tufty-v1.0.0-micropython.uf2 firmware-only image. And I had an issue when trying to flash_nuke it. It wouldn’t work unless I unplugged the battery. It was the only way I could wipe it clean and ditch the filesystem burden. That b…

[image] m1cr0py7h0n: @hel , any chance to get a second flash ROM under the old system to continue developing with Thonny directly connected to the PICO as it was the last couple of years…? As I understand it you should still be able to develop with Thonny if you want, though I think we’ve set …

[image] hel: As I understand it you should still be able to develop with Thonny if you want, though I think we’ve set aspects of the BadgeOS filesystem to be read-only to try and avoid data corruption - is the issue that you’re not able to save changes to the built in files? I was referring t…

[image] m1cr0py7h0n: I would like to continue to connect the devices via USB and fire it up in Thonny via serial connection to directly use REPL for debugging and bugfixing my piece of code instantly I’m able to connect to my Tufty 2350 from Thonny whilst it’s not in disk mode (after hitting …

[image] hel: I’m able to connect to my Tufty 2350 from Thonny whilst it’s not in disk mode (after hitting ‘stop’ to interrupt what it’s doing and get a repl prompt) and run code on it yes, so I was really of the impression it does no longer work. So I am going reflash the device and see wheth…

I have now flashed it with the Dev Release. I’ll see how this goes. I’m also going to pay attention to how I do things to try and mitigate it happening again.
