some say Colin is still holding down the boot select button.. haha. Loving these Colins Lab shorts!

Thanks for the Tutorial!
!! Please don't make the same mistake as me and install circuitpython before moving all your existing files on the pico to your PC, they will be wiped! 🙂

[RonKJeffries]

Thanks! Love the short and focused approach.

Curious as to choice of editor/IDE. Why ro you prefer over Thonny?

[catbeatzzz]

Been trying to do this for a while. This is really helpful

[OTheKeshO]

Been trying to figure this out for a while thank you

[slashxred]

I like the esp32 and I'm pretty experienced with whatever Arduino ide codes in so thanks, but circuit python seems pretty cool

I just wish my windows computers detected it as a valid USB device when installed.

[jotaprempel]

ok but can i release the button already?

[Csco]

What's the difference between Micropython adn Circuitpython?

[thecountrychemist]

But wait. When do I let go of boot select?

[Rudofaux]

At what point should the button be released?

[aleksanderslepowronski]

Is there something like this for C/C++?

[OkesTreeProductions]

Help my circuitpy drive doesn't appear it only refreshes back to rpi-rp2. Can't figure this out.

[avrel]

Question how do i go about using a 5v battery pack and converting it to 3.7V ?

[Kalidass]

I tried to make electronic drum pad with raspberry pi pico H. But while uploading through coding Mu editor, import error is coming. How to fix this

[stfuandfish]

A young viewer of mine (STEM student) got lost in the BOOTSEL section of this. I just had to try it for myself (had the Pico's for a while but hadn't played with them at all!). Once CircuitPython is installed there's no need to press the BOOTSEL again unless you want to revert back to the default condition.

[daverobins]

Maybe a debugger would be nice for beginners.

[TreeLuvBurdpu]

Wait, you forgot to mention when to let the button up. I'm continuing to hold it down like you said.

what he mean plug in usb do it need to be plug in to pc also?

[pravatiacharya]

Adafruit, can we move back to Micropython on Pico if we want? If so then how?
