Raspberry Pi Pico - Getting Started and programming in PyCharm

We will show you how to get started with programming the Raspberry Pi Pico in PyCharm.

Did you know, Seeed Studio are currently doing free shipping during August on the XIAO RP2040???!!!!
The XIAO RP2040 is a microcontroller using the Raspberry RP2040 chip. It runs at up to 133MHz, is built with rich interfaces in a tiny thumb size, and fully supports Ardunio, MicroPython, and CircuitPython. The onboard interfaces are enough for developing multiple applications.

Getting the "Run ‘Flash main.py’" is invaluable - thank you :)

Absolutely the easiest tutorial and way to get started. First with how easy it was with Pycharm, banged my head with the Visual Studio set up on windows for a whole weekend and got absolutely nowhere. Second, fantastic and straight-to-the-point instructions.

best tutorial for beginners, I watched a few this is the only one where was mentioned how to see logs form print statement

One of the better getting-started videos. Thanks!

[denisfilming]

Thank you very much. Just got into Pi development and wanted to use PyCharm, and your video allowed me to do that. Cheers!

Thank you, I was struggling to read serial messages from my nodeMCU. Incredibly helpful, serial tutorial begins @ 10:58

John, Thank you for the great tutorial. Very helpful, I'm up and running now with my PICO on PyCharm!

[hornorama]

Thank you! Thonny was a doddle but I was struggling on a new PyCharm install but all working now. Stopped me pulling what's left of my hair out!

FYI: for the pico W, it's no longer the pin 25. Use led = Pin("LED", Pin.OUT) instead

And many thanks for the "how to" on seeing Pi Pico's printed text using Cmd D in the MicroPython REPL within PyCharm. Another tricky one!

[zhouyu]

This is really helpful. I can't get used to the Thonny Mac version for bugs, and editing interface.

[salamona]

Thanks, the tutorial worked for my esp32 apart from firmware which I used thonny to install.

THANK YOU for this video. I was having a heck of a time finding any links describing how to get PyCharm working with the Pico and you summed it VERY nicely and very concisely! Well Done Sir! :-)
