LED Board Displays nothing after mounting CircuitPython #19

Open sleblanc912 opened 2 months ago

sleblanc912 commented 2 months ago

Hello,

Whenever I try to mount CircuitPython onto my board it displays nothing and the LED on the portal is a pulsating green light. I have tried earlier versions to no avail, even after I copy in the config files from src. Has anyone else run into this issue and how did they fix it?

Reporting the same issue. I have the "lib" folder and all src files located in the root folder, and the board is showing nothing. For what it's worth, my LED is pulsing red.

I was able to solve the issue! I had to fix two things:

  1. The path of the libraries - the libraries were under two layers of lib folders and the .py files couldn’t find them to properly run. Make sure when you click Lib in the root it contains the libraries rather than another Lib subfolder.
  2. My code.py file was the default Circuitpy one that just reads Print(“Hello World”) - not super helpful! When I added the proper code.py and added in my WiFi credentials things started to finally work.

Good Luck!
