the contents of boot.py

[cappy2112]

This is the contents of boot.py, as indicated at this url -> http://micropython.org/doc/tut-script

import pyb
#pyb.main('main.py') # main script to run after this one
#pyb.usb_mode('CDC+MSC') # act as a serial and a storage device
#pyb.usb_mode('CDC+HID') # act as a serial device and a mouse

Since everything is commented out, how is it that main.py still gets executed?

Calling pyb.main('foo.py') would set the name of the main script to be main.py.

If you don't call pyb.main, then the default script name of 'main.py' is used.

So not calling pyb.main and calling pyb.main('main.py') both do the same thing.

Calling pyb.main('foo.py') would set the name of the main script to be main.py.

I guess you meant "foo.py"? :)

Bah - yes.

That's what happens when you get distracted in the middle of typing a response.
