Setting up a Raspberry Pi Pico – MicroPython installation and using Thonny to manage files.

If you’re new to the Raspberry Pi Pico, the first thing you need to know is how to set it up with some firmware – in this case installing MicroPython. All you’ll need is a host computer with internet connection, a micro USB cable and this simple step-by-step guide. Starting with the very first time you plug in your Pico, I’ll walk through each stage, with a clear explanation of exactly what to expect and what to do when things get a bit baffling – like why your files have disappeared and how to find them again and open them through Thonny.

Hello, just wanted to ask, which version of Raspian you were using for this demo? I have a carrier board for a CM4 and I am trying to mount the RP2040s to the CM4 master but none are coming up as a drive. Nor is a Pi Pico when I connect it via BOOTSEL to the spare USB ports. All 3 devices show up on "lsusb" but not as drives.
