Microbit V2 causes the screen to flip up and down when inserted into a NewbitArcadeShield. #6469

We found that when the MicrobitV2 was inserted diagonally into the NewbitArcadeshield the screen flipped up and down. But it doesn't happen with Arcade (microbitV2).

We guess it's caused by the microcode's detection pin at startup. image

We recommend giving a certain delay before the screen configuration is checked when microcode is launched

Note that pressing reset solves the issue (once the micro:bit is seated correctly in the shield)
