This provides a better route out of that situation. uf2 are found to be fruitless leaving only nuking. Efforts to reflash MicroPython and other.
#Tools button in thonny how to#
And it's not exactly clear how to recover from that. The realisation that the Pico is 'bricked' only occurs after having done it. This is the answer to who will rid me of this troublesome 'main.py' ?īlocking Ctrl-C will most times be a simple rookie mistake when unfamiliar with the consequences it has with no thought to avoiding those. Nuking isn't desirable because that loses everything in flash, including files which have not been backed-up on the host, requiring needed files to be re-loaded again. uf2 has had to have been 'flash_nuke.uf2' because most other things won't wipe the MicroPython internal file system so it remains intact, along with the problematic 'main.py' once MicroPython has been flashed again.

There's nothing more which can be done beyond re-flashing another. There's no way to get into the Pico to delete 'main.py' or do anything else to prevent it blocking REPL on every power-up. The problem is, once Ctrl-C is blocked, the REPL can't be entered and Thonny, rshell, ampy all rely on being able to get to the REPL to allow interaction with the file system. I have done that when using '(-1)' so I could read raw 8-bit characters from the host over USB, also viewtopic.php?f=146&t=305399 and I recall a couple of others have hit similar problems. This is mostly needed for those who have put something in 'main.py' which causes Ctrl-C not to work. In general, creating a 'main.py' won't prevent access to the REPL and hitting ctrl+c will typically be enough to interrupt main.py and enter the REPL.Īgreed. "MicroPython_RenameMainDotPy" is derived from MicroPython, Copyright (c) 2013-2021 Damien P. If you access the Pico through Thonny while the 'MicroPython_RenameMainDotPy' firmware is flashed, pressing Ctrl-D will have it report what it did, what it renamed 'main.py' to. MicroPython can then be reflashed and everything should work again - Except 'main.py' won't be there to be executed and brick things again.įlashing this firmware can be preferable to using 'flash_nuke.uf2' because it only affects 'main.py', leaves the MicroPython internal file system otherwise unaffected. When the 'MicroPython_RenameMainDotPy.uf2' image is flashed to your Pico and it has done its thing, its on-board LED will repeatedly flash five times. please report issues here.If you 'brick MicroPython' on your Pico by creating a 'main.py' which prevents the REPL from being entered, prevents Thonny and other tools from accessing the Pico this firmware should rescue you from that situation by renaming 'main.py' to something else probably 'main-1.py' for most people. The Color Selector incorporates Juliette Monsel's excellent tkColorPicker module. Thanks villares for inspiring me to develop this plug-in, hx2A for the awesome py5 project, and the Thonny folks for their fantastic IDE. Here are some useful py5 resources (alphabetically listed). It can do just about everything Processing can do, except with Python instead of Java code. It makes the Java Processing jars available to the CPython interpreter using JPype. Py5 is a new version of Processing for Python 3.8+. Note that module mode requires an import py5 and run_sketch() line, and py5.

Test out an imported mode sketch by clicking the green play button (or using the F5 or Ctrl+R keyboard shortcuts).

When the py5 Imported mode for py5 option is checked, Thonny can run your py5 code.

You can apply those settings in one simple step using py5 > Apply recommended py5 settings There are several Thonny settings that I recommend you apply for working with py5 (including a Processing 4 inspired theme, Kyanite). You'll be notified once this process completes.

Thonny only needs to download JDK the first time you switch to imported mode. When you've restarted Thonny, select py5 > Imported mode for py5 -Ĭlick Proceed to download, extract, and set up JDK-17 (if you need to know: the plug-in installs JDK in the Thonny user-config directory).

Then search for and install the thonny-py5mode plug-in. If you already have some version of Thonny that includes Python 3.8+ on your computer, you can skip straight to step 4.ĭownload and install the Thonny 3.3.7 -alt version of the Thonny IDE (for Python 3.9 support) from /thonny/thonny/releases/tag/v3.3.7: Thonny-py5mode is a plug-in that installs and configures Thonny for use with py5, a Python (3.8+) framework that leverages Processing's core libraries. Use the Thonny Python IDE as a Processing PDE alternative for creative coding.
