Version v1.0.2 - MicroPython v1.23+

This release is primarily a MicroPython version bump to v1.23, ahead of some bigger changes that will be coming in the future.

The build brings in all commits up to the end of 26/09/2024, and includes specific changes needed for supporting Yukon.

It also includes an improved WavPlayer class, thanks to efforts over in the PicoFX repo, and may resolve issue #4 thanks to explicit deinit of I2S at the C level.

Finally, the filesystem builds be a lot smaller now thanks to @Gadgetoid's improvements to dir2uf2!

As always, be sure to back up your board files before doing any Micropython upgrade. The pimoroni-yukon-v1.0.2-micropython.uf2 should not touch your files but there is always a risk.

Full Changelog: v1.0.1...v1.0.2

Version v1.0.1

This release is a minor change from v1.0.0.

It mainly raises the temperature limits of the dual motor and dual output modules, based on some final testing of what these two modules were capable of handling.

It also fixes a case where an UnderVoltageError would not trigger, if monitored_sleep() was called with a short enough sleep time to not reach the undervoltage counter check (in my testing showed it on a 0.01s sleep). This counter was previously added to prevent momentary power dips from halting programs, as can happen with many RC servos suddenly moving. Now there is an additional check for if the input voltage dropping below 0.5V, which will raise the error regardless of if the counter was reached.
