Rename the CIRCUITPY drive to something new
For instance, if you have multiple of the same device. The label can be up to 11 characters. This goes in boot.py not code.py and you must power cycle the board after the change.
# this goes in boot.py not code.py!
new_name = "TRINKEYPY0"
import storage
storage.remount("/", readonly=False)
m = storage.getmount("/")
m.label = new_name
storage.remount("/", readonly=True)
import supervisor if supervisor.runtime.usb_connected: led.value = True # USB else: led.value = False # no USB
An older way that tries to mount CIRCUITPY read-write and if it fails, USB is connected:
def is_usb_connected():
import storage
try:
storage.remount('/', readonly=False) # attempt to mount readwrite
storage.remount('/', readonly=True) # attempt to mount readonly
except RuntimeError as e:
return True
return False
is_usb = "USB" if is_usb_connected() else "NO USB"
print("USB:", is_usb)
import os
fs_stat = os.statvfs('/')
print("Disk size in MB", fs_stat[0] * fs_stat[2] / 1024 / 1024)
print("Free space in MB", fs_stat[0] * fs_stat[3] / 1024 / 1024)
