Description
Using CircuitPython 6.0.0 on a Circuit Playground Express, after running the irremote-simpletest.py (below), auto-reload doesn't work (i.e. writing to CIRCUITPY doesn't force reload). Normal execution of a simple print loop with time.sleep() also doesn't seem to work properly. It hangs until keyboard input(?). The only recovery seems to be to re-install the bootloader AND CircuitPython (reset, and re-installing CircuitPython alone doesn't seem to fix the problem)
# Circuit Playground Express Demo Code
# Adjust the pulseio 'board.PIN' if using something else
import pulseio
import board
import adafruit_irremote
pulsein = pulseio.PulseIn(board.REMOTEIN, maxlen=120, idle_state=True)
decoder = adafruit_irremote.GenericDecode()
while True:
pulses = decoder.read_pulses(pulsein)
print("Heard", len(pulses), "Pulses:", pulses)
try:
code = decoder.decode_bits(pulses)
print("Decoded:", code)
except adafruit_irremote.IRNECRepeatException: # unusual short code!
print("NEC repeat!")
except adafruit_irremote.IRDecodeException as e: # failed to decode
print("Failed to decode: ", e.args)
print("----------------------------")
