Can you please share the link to the wokwi project that shows this problem?

Try using a newer CircuitPython version by changing diagram.json line 11 to read:

      "attrs": { "env": "circuitpython-7.3.3" }

(you can also try 8.0.2)

Thanks! That works to clear the error.
I was just using the default link to create new projects here: https://wokwi.com/projects/new/circuitpython-pi-pico

Yes, we're using an older version for that link since 7.x.x had performance issues with the Pico (adafruit/circuitpython#5341), so we had to use a specific version in order to get the simulation as fast as possible. This may have been solved in recent 8.x releases (by adafruit/circuitpython#7201), but I haven't had a chance to thoroughly test it yet. Once we're sure 8.x works correctly, we'll probably switch the new project template to use the latest 8.x release.

Thanks for the explanation. Love the project! Cheers!
