HAL 9000 Python Example not working with CPX + Crickit 5.1.0 build #1070

grok777 commented 4 years ago

Hello, I have an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express and a Crickit, and I would like to run Circuit Python to use the HAL 9000 code. I have tried loading the Circuit Python special Circuit Playground Express + Crickit build from here https://circuitpython.org/board/circuitplayground_express_crickit/, which is currently 5.1.0. When I put the HAL code on my adafruit, I get the error that the adafruit_crickit library cannot be found. I feel like I am missing some simple thing to get this working. I was under the impression that if I run that build, my code can just load those libraries. My code is at the root of the CIRCUITPY flash. Did the library name change? Have you tested HAL on 5.1.0? Does that build have any other dependencies? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Kevin

@grok777 are you super sure you used the right build? you def need the UF2 from https://circuitpython.org/board/circuitplayground_express_crickit/ to be installed, and it sounds like you have the non-crikit build!
