[Microbit-Python] importing modules using uflash

[Ben Mustill-Rose]

Hi,

If you're getting import errors it unfortunately means that the module
hasn't been included in the build of MicroPython for the micro:bit.

To expand on this a little, the way that uflash works is:

A vanilla copy of the runtime - E.G. with no scripts added is included
in the tool (from memory this starts at around line 314).
Unless otherwise specified via its parameters, when run, uflash will
create a hex representation of roundrobin.py and concatenate said
representation with the vanilla runtime.
The tool itself has no understanding of modules per say - all it does
is joins files together.

If you're interested in how it works I highly recommend having a look
at the code as it’s very readable.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news - hopefully someone else may have
an idea as to how your problem can be solved.

Cheers,
Ben.
