Re: MU-5 will crash and delete all source code

How do I report this and to who. I opened a Github acct, but it is beyond me as to how it works. README, Forks, Commits and publish. Its a bit too tech for a schoolboy.http://forum.micropython.org/posting.ph ... =17&t=2920#

MU-5 will crash and delete all source code
