CircUp: Easily Install or Upgrade CircuitPython Libraries

[@jamesbrady9105]

this is awesome and a VERY good video!! i wish i had known about this about six months ago, when i was working on my PI Pico LED project.

Thanks, James. Glad you liked it. Definitely more on the way. Cheers!

Will Circup update libraries when you change to a new CP version if they've changed? Is there a special command to do that or just run normally?

[@profgallaugher]

After you update CircuitPython to a new version just run circup update -all and it’ll update to any new versions if available. I just did that on a couple boards today after upgrading to CP 9.1, which was released a day or so before I wrote this. Cheers!

I am getting this error message all of a sudden: D:\>circup list Missing file boot_out.txt on the device: wrong path or drive corrupted. ....

Sounds like your board’s file system is corrupted. I’d try the board erase REPL method mentioned here. Make certain you then upgrade your board with the correct .uf2 file for CircuitPython. It’s easy to mixup the CircuitPlayground Express and B lkuefruit boarsd, or the Raspberry Pi Pico and pico W. These are absolutely different. If probs persist definitely see Adafruit Discord, but my guess is the fix mentioned above will work. Here’s a link: docs.circuitpython.org/en/latest/docs/troubleshooting.html
