Raspberry Pi Pico Tutorial: Getting started with MicroPython & CircuitPython

Welcome to the Raspberry Pi Pico Tutorial Series:
In this video we look at the Raspberry Pi Pico and how to get started soldering the header pins and installing either the MicroPython or CircuitPython firmware onto the Pico. We write a simple LED blink program to blink the onboard LED using MicroPython and CircuitPython.

Check out my channel for other videos on the Raspberry Pi Pico, as I will regularly upload tutorials and projects related to the Raspberry Pi Pico. If you found this tutorial helpful consider leaving a like and subscribe.

So happy that I discovered your channel today. Appreciate you sharing so many great videos. I already Thonny installed on my computer.

At 5:40, if 25 doesn't work, replace it with 'LED'

it doesn't show up when i connect it to my pc, even though i press the bootsel button

I'm using multiple libraries in my circuit:
Connecting a pico H with : pir, mq2, flame sensor and a tft 1, 77 display.

This circuit is connected to the Blynk app also.
Should i work with micropython or circuitpython ?

Thank you for your help in blinking my for pico led, and it just worked, I have joined your channel so my first question is, please tell me the best version to use as I am new to the Pico and python?

Is this relay compatible with standard 120v AC outlets?

[arturgomboc]

Nice work! Could you help me? Chinese calliper data reading pi pico micropyton is the few lines of code that do this! Unfortunately,
I couldn't find a sample example of such a thing anywhere!

does the raspberry pi work with the breadboard when not soldered?

[Yoshigamer]

I have made a program for micro python but I can't find a way to make it run without having it connected to my computer with thonny. Is there any way to make it run with any power source connected to it?

[laslu]

can I have micropython and circuitpython on the same r pi pico?
