Pico usb access to config file

[SingleBladePaddler]

First post on here, quite new to this.
I wondered if there is a way of allowing a pico to be accessed as a usb drive with micropython installed. to allow setting for SSID and password etc. I did ponder having serial port opened on the device and using puTTY or such to allow setting changes. Any thought or recommendations.

Although it's not the same as a USB drive, I think you should be able to achieve what you would like to achieve with the mpremote utility. mpremote will allow you to copy files to the Pico.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll have look and play with that

Have a look at rshell (https://pypi.org/project/rshell/). The pico fs appears as /pyboard and you may easily copy files from/to it (among other things).

Thanks I have looked at rshell and was very straight forward to install

Good to know it worked. :) I assume you are developing on Linux. On Windows 10 there is a caveat, the default installation with pip does not work, it requires installing a different dependency from the standard (pyreadline3 instead of pyreadline installed by default by pip).

USB mass storage is possible, though it's disabled by default; you'll have to build it yourself. There are a number of caveats with USB, see #7402 for some of the details.

Thanks for the replies. Looking at the micropython manual under files systems there is function within micropython for the STM32 to create a hybrid system with fat partition and a littleFS partition. looks ideal. not sure if i have the skill level to convert the pyb for the rp2040.
