I haven’t used my XRP for a year. when I click “connect” via USB in the https://xrpcode.wpi.edu/ window, I get the box that says “no compatible devices found”. It does not ever time out nor prompt me to install anything. What’s the process for bringing this XRP back to life? It’s a beta version. I want the python/blockly installation (not WPIlib). Thanks.
The first thing I would double check is the cable. Unfortunately, there are USB cables out there that only carry power and don’t carry data. Those cables would make it look like it was working, but they would never show up or connect.
the cable works fine on a different XRP.
I get a windows explorer window that appears showing me the file system on the XRP. It’s possible that it used to be loaded with the Java WPIlib firmware. But I want it to be python / blockly now. I suspect I’m just supposed to drop a .uf2 file into the file system windows but am not sure which one.
All of my other XRPs are running micropython v 1.25.0-preview.beta06
Is this the one I should be loading? Is there a newer one? If so, which one? I actually own a few of the beta XRPs and a few of the newer (not beta) ones. Do they use the same firmware?
I finally found this site. Is this what I want?
Best to get the micropython uf2 file from here. The ones for the different boards are different. The latest released should be fine.
