Problem with circuitpython 10 on wio terminal

Products & Technology Wio Terminal
1

I just installed the current version (10.0.3) of circuitpython from Seeeduino Wio Terminal Download , but it has problems for me.

I cannot even upload libraries with Thonny from the computer to the wio terminal and when I try to run a program, Thonny does not give me error messages (even when I try to include a library in the first line which is not uploaded), the connection between Thonny and the wio terminal simply breaks.

I now installed a previous version (9.2.2), which I successfully used on my other wio terminal, and it works perfectly.

Is there a known issue with Wio terminal and circuitpython 10 or I just missed something?

I’ve seen a few people run into problems with CircuitPython 10 on the Wio Terminal, especially with Thonny. Libraries sometimes won’t upload, and the IDE can just lose connection without giving an error, probably due to changes in how the board handles the filesystem or USB compared to 9.2.2. Since 9.2.2 works fine for you, it’s safest to stick with it for now. If you do want to try 10.x, make sure Thonny is fully updated, reformat the CIRCUITPY drive after flashing, and only use libraries confirmed to work with version 10. Checking Seeed’s forums or CircuitPython’s GitHub can also help with fixes or workarounds.
