“I chose to use the arduino IDE (rather than Circuit Python), and am still working through some of the setup issues, so too early to give a performance review. Plenty of good on-line documentation at Adafruit to help me though.”
“Once it is correctly set up, this board makes fun to play with. That said, the setup process was a big pain. I followed multiple Adafruit tutorials and was finally able to get it running with the Pimoroni forum. The steps are easy once you know them: First flash the tinyuf2_combo.bin to the board. Then a drive called METROS2BOOT appears on your PC. Onto this drive you have to copy (in the file explorer) the CircuitPython .UF2 file. Then the boards reconnects as CIRCUITPY - done.
On this drive you can place your code in cody.py and it runs - just as it should and all my sensors are working fine.
So the board is really neat and works very well, just the description of the setup process could be improved a lot (by Adafruit, and maybe a very short summary of the above 3 steps could also be placed on the Pimoroni site).”
