I'm sure why the merge check is failing. It seems to be indicating an issue with the white space that I can't see on my end. |
Check if your editor has an option or a plug-in to trim trailing whitespace when it saves the file. I have that enabled in emacs and it saves a lot of manual fixing. I was able to |

Looks like it should be good now? |

D1, D2, and D3 are green, red, and blue, so would you be interested in pretending to use them as a single RGB status LED, similar to the PCA10059? |
|
The PCA10059 has one single color LED and one RGB LED, where as this has 3 physically separate LEDS and an empty set of pads for a 4th LED. If you think it's better to have it pretend to be a single RGB LED I'm not entirely against it, I just don't think it accurately reflects the hardware to treat it that way. See below. |
|
I'm willing to go along with your current treatment of the LEDs. @tannewt do you want to review further? |
This is the board: https://www.raytac.com/product/ins.php?index_id=81. This board appears to be a simple breakout / demo board for all of the pins on the Raytac MDBT50Q-1MV2 module used in other products and available here: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4078
I used the nRF Connect suite and a JLINK EDU Mini to load the same UF2 bootloader used by the PCA10059 and then I was able to install CircuitPython without issue.
This is the output from boot_out.txt:
Adafruit CircuitPython 6.0.0-alpha.1-17-ga7844205b on 2020-07-07; MDBT50Q-DB-40 with nRF52840
REPL via USB serial seems to work, as does copying over files via USB but I haven't had a chance to test any higher level functions.
