I had no idea you could have it run boot -> main automatically! I thought I would have to import another file to the boot file to get it to run after the boot. That is so good to know and I can't believe I didn't see it in the official documentation. Maybe I just missed it? Either way thanks for all the great videos!

What do you think of this new format of shorter videos?

Can boot.py be used to run a menu that gives a choice of running one of multiple programs? This would be really useful for running different setups on the same machine. Maybe a choice between operating a robot by radio control, or in autonomous mode. Or choose between a number of different tasks or functions.

so whats better for the raspberry pico for you, micropython or circuitpython?
