How do I troubleshoot 'Out of Memory' errors?

Use the 'gc' module to monitor and free memory. Running gc.collect() manually can reclaim unused memory, and gc.mem_free() helps you track available resources during execution.

How do I connect to the MicroPython REPL on the Tufty Badge?

You can connect via USB using command-line tools like mpremote or screen, or via the Thonny IDE by selecting the MicroPython (RP2040) interpreter and the correct port.

How can I install external libraries on the badge?

The most modern way is using the 'mip' module. In the REPL, import mip and use mip.install('package-name') to download libraries directly to the device's /lib folder.

What is Paste Mode in the MicroPython REPL?

Paste Mode (Ctrl+E) allows you to paste large blocks of multi-line code without the REPL trying to execute each line immediately. Press Ctrl+D to finish and execute the pasted code.

开发者工具

Facilitates interactive MicroPython development, package management, and hardware debugging for the Universe 2025 Tufty Badge.

关于

This skill provides a comprehensive toolkit for mastering the MicroPython Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL) on the RP2040-based Tufty Badge. It guides users through various connectivity methods using screen, mpremote, and Thonny IDE, while offering standardized patterns for package management via mip. Developers can leverage this skill to perform real-time module inspection, manage the onboard filesystem, and conduct interactive hardware testing for GPIO, I2C, and networking components. It is an essential resource for rapid prototyping and debugging MonaOS applications during the Universe 2025 event.
