How to start

Getting Start with Micro Python and Thonny IDE

All experimental environments are completed under the Raspberry Pi 4B hardware device and Raspberry Pi OS system. It will be very convenient if you use Raspberry Pi to perform the following operations.

• 1. First, solder the Pin header for your Raspberry Pi Pico.
• 2. Download the MicroPython UF2 file from: [ https://micropython.org/download/rp2-pico/rp2-pico-latest.uf2 ]
• 3. Push and hold the `BOOTSEL` button and plug your Pico into the USB port of your Raspberry Pi or other computer. Release the `BOOTSEL` button after your Pico is connected. It will mount as a Mass Storage Device called `RPI-RP2`. Drag and drop the MicroPython UF2 file onto the RPI-RP2 volume. Your Pico will reboot. You are now running MicroPython.

if you have any problem with the steps, please refer to :[ https://datasheets.raspberrypi.org/pico/raspberry-pi-pico-python-sdk.pdf ]

• 4. Turn on your Raspberry Pi and Plug the Raspberry Pi Pico via MicroUSB cable to USB port.
• 5. Reinstall `Thonny` IDE on your Raspberry Pi by typing follwing command in terminal:

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get upgrade -y 
sudo apt -y purge thonny
sudo apt -y install thonny
thonny

• 6. Open a new terminal and typing:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/geeekpi/picokit.git
cd picokit

There are some demo codes in this warehouse, which can be opened by `Thonny`, copied and pasted, and then saved to the `main.py` file in Pico.
