Issue with PrimeHub firmware 4.0.0 and hub_menu()

[bcfletcher]

i'm running Pybricks Code v3.0.0 with firmware v4.0.0 on a Spike Prime hub

how do i disable the the new 5 slot mode which was primarily intended for Block Coding mode?

we run hub_menu() in python and don't want to confuse the kids with the new slot mode.

also. unless i'm missing something the new 5 slot mode isn't discussed in the docs.

thanks

Program slots are not unique to block code. People can have multiple Python programs for similar reasons.

For example:

• One or more mission program
• One or more test programs
• A remote control program
• Maybe a safe "good enough" program to keep while you try something new in another slot.

I could see this being quite useful. For example you could have a remote control program always on slot 5 so you have an easy way to test mechanics for the person not programming.

Slots are documented in the getting started guide.

sorry for the confusion. i didn't mean to imply that it was only for block coding.

i'm a big fan of the approach and tested the alpha/beta versions of it

but it would be nice if we could set something that would disable it when we're using numbered programs

we found with testing with kids it caused some potential for confusion/mistakes when using the traditional numbered programs with it.

it was easy press hub buttons and get in a state that could confusion/time loss at the competition table
