Programming Environment Preparation

Setting Up the Programming Environment​

  1. We need to write programs in programming software, so first, we should download and install a programming tool. The software we recommend is: Thonny.

  1. Install Thonny, select the language option as needed, and use the standard settings (set to "Standard").

  2. After connecting the development board to the computer via USB, select the Tools→Options command from the main menu. In the panel below, select the board type: MicroPython (Raspberry Pi Pico), then click to choose to install or update the firmware.

Connecting Pico to the Computer​

Use a USB cable to connect Pico to the USB port of your computer.
