The New Pico W (main.py) not boot start ?

Post by pewamipy » Sun Jul 10, 2022 6:50 pm

Hello I just got 2 Pico W that i am testing out
I have used Thonny and the latest 1.19 versions 106,108,112,113

So far I have test WiFi and simple led test from the latest document "Connecting to the Internet with Raspberry Pi Pico W"

However the programs runs smooth on Thonny start/stop

But if I disconnect Thonny and start the Pico from only power up from USB the Module does not start the main.py
I have have tested with a simple led.toggle() but the Pico W does not start other than from Thonny start/stop

Can someone test this on Pico W with the latest 1.19 if main.py is running after cold boot

Hmm i did a flash_nuke on the board and then reloaded version 1.19 108

And that made it work so now the main.py is starting after cold boot, im not shure what did the fault, maybe
my reload and reflash different versions cause it to behavie strange ?

I will test more and post here if i get this error agiain

My best guess was that there was a problem in boot.py, which prevents default starting of main.py
