#Did you get the latest bundle for 8 1 0
normal minnow
Yes. I've tried running my python code with and without the bundled adafruit_circuitplayground library (in the CPX lib folder)
molten panther
Did you copy the latest version from the 8.x bundle of the adafruit_circuitplayground directory to the lib folder of CIRCUITPY?
normal minnow
Yes, exactly. FWIW, I get the same behavior with my boards (I tried 2 so far) in the MU editor install on my Windows machine.
molten panther
Did you also update adafruit_lis3dh.mpy in lib?
All of these:
adafruit_bus_device/
adafruit_circuitplayground/
adafruit_lis3dh.mpy
adafruit_thermistor.mpy
neopixel.mpy
normal minnow
No. I haven't loaded the full bundle (adafruit-circuitpython-bundle-8.x-mpy-20230527) on the CPX. I seem to remember reading somewhere, that these simple programs should run on the CPX with just the in_built modules of the the CircuitPython runtime. Am I wrong about that?
molten panther
Well, the adafruit_circuitplayground library depends on all of the libraries above. It should have shipped with all of them. But if you upgraded to 8.x, then you would need to update these as well.
normal minnow
Ok, but the first line of Installation says: For Circuit Playground Express, simply install CircuitPython to use this library - the library itself and all of its dependencies are built into CircuitPython for Circuit Playground Express.

in the REPL, can you do >>> help("modules")
all built-in libraries should show up there
the "recursion depth" exception on import is probably a bug needing an issue... temporary workaround (might not work) try: supervisor.runtime.next_stack_limit to see what it is currently, then supervisor.runtime.next_stack_limit = something_larger then reboot

@hushed narwhal Thanks for the follow up. Here's what I see:

Plus any modules on the filesystem

looks like the libraries are there. I'm not sure of precedence with built-in libraries, but something on CIRCUITPY might override those if they have the same name
are any of those libraries on CIRCUITPY at either "/" or "/lib"?
(the ones with the adafruit_ prefix, particularly)?
molten panther
You can use the CircUp command line tool to make it easier. https://learn.adafruit.com/keep-your-circuitpython-libraries-on-devices-up-to-date-with-circup/overview
hushed narwhal
these libraries are frozen into the flash, and should be consistent with the circuitpython version of the flash
molten panther
Ah. I forgot the libraries were built into CircuitPlayground.
They are not on other boards.
So, it would probably be best to remove any libraries in /lib or /.

@hushed narwhal Right now the /lib directory is empty
Interestingly, I have no problems with running MakeCode programs 🤷♂️
molten panther
MakeCode is not based in CircuitPython.
@normal minnow If the problem continues, I suggest opening a support issue in https://forums.adafruit.com/viewforum.php?f=58

I understand about makecode. I just was remarking that it doesn't seem to be a problem with the board, but something with the CircuitPython runtime. 🙂

Agreed
