It's right, official document isn't clear enough in case making own projects... Thank you so much

Do I have to build the examples every time? I just finished watching your other video on getting set up and my pico-examples have been building in vscode for over 10 minutes now. I don't want to have to wait 5-10 minutes every time I want to come back to these tutorials to start learning.

Hi @sobhit panda I'm glad that I have seen your videos on pico it's awesome man, I'm trying to do the same on ubuntu since 10days u cleared it so well here. Please make some more videos relating to this . Thank you 😊 🎉

Excellent Video. RPI Foundation has now released, one click, PICO SDK installation. Also, if one uses the Pico Debug Probe, then the download is via the, 3 pin SWD, connection. This video is excellent in explaining how to create a stand alone project. Can you please do more videos showing how to use other examples eg. analog, I2c, serial driver to LCD etc. please do a video, showing, how to do debugging a pico application, using Pico debug Probe.

Hello, I liked very much this video. I have a question: What if I want to use an external library, like wirinPi? How can I include in my program and where should I copy it? All procedure is the same for c++?

[antoniojohnson]

I still get the squiggles saying it cannot detect the pico/stdlib.h file.

Well it’s so weird I have been working on pico with windows 11 but still not working it been 3 days anyone can help ? I installed all of them but still there is no any solution

[ChantzDrake]

Very helpful.

Most of the instructions I was able to find used the pico-examples to show how to build, but when making my own it never seemed to work. Followed your steps here and managed to successfully compile a uf2 file on first attempt.

this is basically arduino, why there isn't low level access to the pinout?

[chuanliu]

The official document is not very clear about the process. Thank you for making this video.

Visual studio....no thanks, I'll wait for Arduino IDE and do it on Linux.
