# spooky-scary-skeleton
Circuit Python implementation of Kevin McAleer's Spooky Scary Skeleton
This directory contains the software used for controlling the [Spooky Scary Skeleton](https://www.kevsrobots.com/blog/spooky-scary-skeleton.html) using [Circuit Python](https://circuitpython.org/).
### Removing _all_ files from CIRCUITPY drive
```
# NOTE: Do not do this before backing up all files!!!
>>> import storage ; storage.erase_filesystem()
```
### Copying files from cloned repo to CIRCUITPY drive
```
# First, get to the REPL prompt so the board will not auto-restart as
# you copy files into it. To do that, hit CONTROL+C from the Circuit Python serial console:
Adafruit CircuitPython 7.3.3 on 2022-08-29; Raspberry Pi Pico with rp2040
>>>
# Then, from a shell terminal window, assuming that Pico
# is mounted under /Volumes/CIRCUITPY
$ cd ${THIS_REPO_DIR}/
$ [ -e ./code.py ] && \
[ -d /Volumes/CIRCUITPY/ ] && \
rm -rf /Volumes/CIRCUITPY/*.py && \
(tar czf - *.py) | ( cd /Volumes/CIRCUITPY ; tar xzvf - ) && \
echo ok || echo not_okay
```
### Libraries
Use [circup](https://learn.adafruit.com/keep-your-circuitpython-libraries-on-devices-up-to-date-with-circup)
to install these libraries into the Raspberry Pi Pico:
```text
$ python3 -m venv .env && source ./.env/bin/activate && \
pip install --upgrade pip
$ pip3 install circup
$ for LIB in \
adafruit_hcsr04 \
asyncio \
adafruit_motor \
; do circup install $LIB ; done
```
This is what it should look like:
```text
$ ls /Volumes/CIRCUITPY/
LICENSE README.md boot_out.txt code.py lib
$ ls /Volumes/CIRCUITPY/lib
adafruit_hcsr04.mpy adafruit_ticks.mpy
adafruit_motor asyncio
$ circup freeze
Found device at /Volumes/CIRCUITPY, running CircuitPython 7.3.3.
adafruit_hcsr04==0.4.15
adafruit_ticks==1.0.8
asyncio==0.5.17
adafruit_motor==3.4.5
```
At this point, all needed files should be in place, and all that
is needed is to let code.py run. From the Circuit Python serial console:
```text
>>
soft reboot
Auto-reload is on. Simply save files over USB to run them or enter REPL to disable.
code.py output:
...
```
