Macropad Keyboard Interrupt #32

Closed theturboferret closed 1 year ago

theturboferret commented 1 year ago

Love the macropad code, but I have a rather infuriating issue - mine only runs for a few seconds!

I have updated the macropad to CircuitPython 8.0.5, and copied every file from the Macropad.4chord.MIDI.v2.3.0.zip onto the pad without issues, and it fires up perfectly. However after a couple of seconds I get the message: (snake emoji)64@code.py Keyboard KeyboardInterrupt:

Code done running.

then: (snake emoji)Done | 8.0.5 Press any key to ente r the REPL. Use CTRL- D to reload.

then: (snake emoji)REPL | 8.0.5 n 8.0.5 on 2023-03-31 ; Adafruit Macropad R P2040 with rp2040

M105

The M105 continues repeating indefinitely

The only differences between the contents of my Macropad and your zip file is the presence of a file called settings.toml in addition to the settings.py, plus a bootout.txt containing:

Adafruit CircuitPython 8.0.5 on 2023-03-31; Adafruit Macropad RP2040 with rp2040 Board ID:adafruit_macropad_rp2040 UID:DF60BCA0036F5434 boot.py output: Mounting Read-Only

I am a total noob blindly following instructions with zero knowledge of code or what I'm doing, so apologies if this is an obvious thing that anyone with any clue should know how to resolve!

Many thanks :)

Just re-tested with CircuitPython 8.0.5 and 4chord MIDI 2.3.0 - confirmed that should work.

Not sure why you have a file settings.toml in the MacroPad - that's pretty strange.

It sounds like maybe there was an old set of files that needs to get wiped out first. Would recommend taking the following steps:

  1. Reboot into read-write mode (hit the reboot button and then press down on the dial)
  2. Remove all the files from the CIRCUITPY drive that is mounted
  3. Make sure you copy all the files from the .ZIP into the CIRCUITPY drive
  4. Confirm the root directory of the CIRCUITPY drive looks like: image
  5. Re-boot once again

If that doesn't work, let me know - we can see if there is a setting or other issue that is causing it to freak out.

One other idea - for some strange reason it appears the "M105" message can happen when running 3d printing utilities: https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?p=909834

Very strange - it seems like some software will try to reach out to any communication ports listed, of which the Macropad (running on a tty) is one.

ooh, quitting Cura has solved all issues :) I'm using this on my Mac which is mainly used for slicing 3D prints....who would have thought it!

Many thanks for the assistance
