Editing Code
To edit code, open thecode.pyfile on your
CIRCUITPY drive into your editor.
Make the desired changes to your code.
Save the file. That's it!
Your code changes are run as soon as the file is done saving.
There's one warning before you continue...
The CircuitPython code on your board detects when the files are changed or written
and will automatically re-start your code. This makes coding very fast because you
save, and it re-runs. If you unplug or reset the board before your computer finishes
writing the file to your board, you can corrupt the drive. If this happens, you may lose
the code you've written, so it's important to backup your code to your computer
regularly.
There are a couple of ways to avoid filesystem corruption.
1. Use an editor that writes out the file completely when you save it.
Check out the Recommended Editors page() for details on different editing options.
Don't click reset or unplug your board!
If you are dragging a file from your host computer onto the CIRCUITPY drive, you
still need to do step 2. Eject or Sync (below) to make sure the file is completely
written.
