File system greater than 30k for V2?

Post by kjw » Fri Aug 06, 2021 11:21 pm

The micro:bit V2 has 512kB flash (double that of the V1) but it appears to still have the same ~30kB reserved for files? I wanted to do a bit of audio sample playback and I can't fit it all into 30k. Is there an easy way to change/extend this?

I squashed as much as I could into the 30k: Instructables: PIR Movement Alarm With BBC Micro:bit and External Speaker - YouTube video in step 5 with the sample playback.

Would be nice to see this raised and perhaps with a marker/warning showing when you go above 30k for projects developed on the V2 but designed to be compatible with V1.

It would also be useful to be able to change the playback rate. I ended up duplicating the samples to play a file at half speed for Halloween laughing skeleton using Cytron EDU:BIT and BBC micro:bit (YouTube). For anyone interested, more detail on that in Instructables: Halloween Spooky Ghost With BBC Micro:bit on Cytron EDU:BIT.
