Downloaded Thorny Python IDE for windows
Thonny, Python IDE for beginners

First Issue:

Needed to setup rpi pico for use with micropython

Solution: Upload the uboot loader for use with micro python

Second Issue:

Had an issue that I didnt know how to run code on the raspberry pi pico, here was the solution:

Select micropython as the target python environment. Boom done!

Lets fun some code!

from machine import Pin
from time import sleep

led_onboard = machine.Pin(25,machine.Pin.OUT)
print("My first Blink Sketch!")
for i in range(10):
    led_onboard.value(1)
    sleep(1)
    led_onboard.value(0)
    sleep(1)

print("End of program")

Future Exploration:

• Rpi pico's temperature sensor
• TinyML on the pico
• TinyML – Motion Recognition Using Raspberry Pi Pico «
• cameras?
• audio processing?
• What is Utime vs time in micropython

Great resources
