Overview

This is a simple text menu utility to make it easy to have multiple scripts on a CircuitPython and run them without having to rename them to code.py or main.py each time.

Usage + Notes

To use this utility, simply place the code.py file at the root of your CircuitPython drive. Any CircuitPython modules you want to be able to run from the menu must be placed in the root (not in sub-directories).

When the modules are listed, type the letter next to the module you want followed by <enter>. The selected module will run.

A few notes:

1. Requires CircuitPython 7.0+
2. Displays and interacts through a serial monitor
3. Only files with .txt, .py, and .mpy extensions will be listed
4. code.py and menu.py and any files beginning with "." or "_" will not be listed
5. The menu will list a maximum of 26 modules (a-z). If you have more modules in your CircuitPython root, "more..." will be displayed following the "z" choice to indicate there are more items on the drive. But, the additional files won't show in the menu.
6. ctrl+C followed by ctrl+D will exit the current module and restart the menu. If a module ends normally, ctrl+D will re-run the menu.
