Mu: Hi, I have a few questions!

[KimHwaMok]

I am a student studying a micro:bit. and I have a few questions.

1. I do not know what the features of Files. This button does not work when micro:bit are connected to the computer.
2. I do not know what the features of Repl. This button does not work when micro:bit are connected to the computer.
3. I modified Micro Python to support "scroll" functions in other languages. (ex, Korean) and I then created a new firmware through the "make all" command. and reflash my firmware through the "cp build/bbc-microbit-classic-gcc-nosd/source/microbit-micropython.hex /media/pllab/MICROBIT/" command.
   but If i run in mu-editor, the result is same. nothing change. What's wrong with my way?

Hi Jason,

Welcome! For general questions the best place to ask is probably the microbit python email list, generally speaking this tracker is for issues with Mu: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/microbit

1. You might find these links useful
   http://microbit-micropython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/storage.html
   http://microbit-playground.co.uk/howto/add-python-module-microbit-micropython
2. Which operating system are you using? If Windows, have you installed the drivers?
   http://microbit-micropython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/devguide/repl.html
3. Mu packs a version of MicroPython inside, so every time you flash your code it erases all of flash and loads micropython + your script. If you want to load a custom version of MicroPython you'll use to use a toold like uFlash: http://uflash.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

I hope I was able to answer all your questions @KimHwaMok, since it's been quite a few months since this issue was opened I will close it as resolved. But, please feel free to reopen it if you have any further questions.
