FAQPage Schema
How do I add MicroPython apps to a Cardputer without reflashing the device?▼

You can install new MicroPython apps on a Cardputer without reflashing by pushing Python files over a USB-serial connection using the onboard installation scripts. This allows direct app deployment and updates without reinstalling the entire system.

Can I push updates to a single Python file on a Cardputer device?▼

Yes, you can push single Python file updates to an existing app on a Cardputer over USB-serial. This updates the application directly without requiring a full device reflash or system reinstall.

What is the best way to monitor serial logs on a Cardputer for troubleshooting?▼

To monitor serial logs on a Cardputer, you connect via USB-serial and view the device output directly. This allows you to troubleshoot and diagnose runtime issues by inspecting the serial logs generated by the MicroPython applications.

Do I need a USB-serial connection to execute one-off REPL commands on a Cardputer?▼

Yes, executing one-off REPL commands directly on a Cardputer requires a USB-serial connection. This serial communication interface allows you to send individual commands to the MicroPython environment for immediate execution and testing.

Does Cardputer Buddy work with onboard scripts for app installation?▼

Yes, Cardputer Buddy works in conjunction with onboard scripts for app installation. It uses these scripts to provision the Cardputer, add new applications like the Claude Buddy app, and execute maintenance commands over the serial connection.
