mpremote to run a file resident in a picow

[hcgrant]

Is it possible to use mpremote to run code in the pico's ram?
I can see that I can use "mpremote run " where the exits in the local machine (in my case running Kubuntu).
I've tried "mpremote run :" but that didnt work.
So ..
any ideas?

If you have a file x.py in your microcontroller, you run that in the microcontroller with mpremote run x.py
No : needed.

mpremote exec "import filename"

Many thanks robert-hh and bixb922 ... Both methods work thanks .. previously I tried mpremote run filename and that gave me an error something like couldnt find filename hence I tried using ":" before the filename.

You will also interested in mpremote mount . run main.py
This will mount the current directory of your PC on the microcontroller and the run the main.py that's on the PC without having to transfer it to the microcontroller. Does not need all the imports copied. Very convenient! See https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/reference/index.html
