Micropython DOS-like shell for RP2040 microcontroller boards. Check out the demo video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az_oiq8GE4Y
To start the shell type "import PyDOS" at the micropython REPL prompt.
setup.bat in the root folder will prompt the user to indicate Circuit Python or Micropython and then the board they are using. The setup batch file will then copy the programs and libraries appropriate for the user's platform to the root folder of the Microcontroller flash.
External programs included:
runasthread.py (Micropython only) - This program will attempt to launch a python program on the second RP2040 core. Threading is experimental on Micropython so it's not difficult to crash the microcontroller using this program. I have not found a way to kill a thread started on the second core so be sure any threads you launch will shutdown on their own or monitor a global variable or thread.lock to respond to a shutdown request (see the badblink.py for an example).
edit.py - line editor inspired by DOS edlin. Intial program structure of line editor by Joesph Long https://github.com/j-osephlong/Python-Text-Editor
fsedit.py - shell to load full screen editor from https://github.com/robert-hh/Micropython-Editor
fileview.py - scrollable text file viewer
sdmount.py (Micropython only) - mounts an sd card to the file system
sdumount.py (Micropython only) - dismounts an sd card from the file system
setdate.py (Micropython only) - initalizes the RP2040 real time clock to an entered date
settime.py (Micropython only) - initalizes the RP2040 real time clock to an entered time
diff.py - performs a file comparison
sound.py - outputs a sound to a speaker cicruit connected to GPIO 20
lcdprint.py - displays text on an I2C LCD display
PyBasic.py - a Basic interpreter from https://github.com/richpl/PyBasic. Tweaked and modified to run on Micropython. basicparser.py, basictoken.py, flowsignal.py, lexer.py, program.py, basicdata.py
At the DOS prompt a python program (.py) or batch (.bat) file can be run by simply entering the filename with or without the extension
