"Import machine" not working on RPi Pico

Post by Odolyte » Sun Jan 31, 2021 4:42 pm

Hi,

with last micropython image : adafruit-circuitpython-raspberry_pi_pico-fr-6.2.0-beta.1.uf2
using Thonny, when i do a

Code: Select all

print("Hello Pico")
everything works fine, but when i try to make the onboard led blink with :

Code: Select all

import machine
import utime
led_onboard = machine.Pin(25, machine.Pin.OUT)
while True:
	led_onboard.value(1)
	utime.sleep(1)
	led_onboard.value(0)
	utime.sleep(1)
i got a "machine module missing" error (the screencapture :https://www.evernote.com/l/ABio1aoE_b9L ... 4gPvzXmso8).

What did i do wrong?

Thanks for your Help,

Odo

In the Micropython.org firmware zhe mschine module exist. Try the proper firmware from the micropython.org download page.

That looks like CircuitPython firmware, not MicroPython. The machine module is a MicroPython thing.

CircuitPython has different ways of accessing hardware features. You can get the MicroPython firmware from http://micropython.org/download/rp2-pico/

I'm in the same boat, machine is in the imported library, but when i run debug, it's like not able to import machine does not exist.

going to loose my mind!!!

You haven't provided much info but you said "when i run debug" - how are you doing this? I would love to be wrong but I understand there's no way to run a debug session on a MicroPython board so does that mean you're running debug with a Python interpreter on your PC? Then no, it won't have libraries like "machine". I don't know the best way around this, and actually I've just joined this forum so I can ask a question about it which I'll do soon under "Programs, Libraries and Tools".
