Pico Quick Start

Download Firmware

  • MicroPython Firmware Download


  • C_Blink Firmware Download

MicroPython Series

C/C++ Series

Arduino IDE

Installieren Arduino IDE

  1. Download the installation package of Arduino IDE from Arduino official website.

  2. Select Just download.

  3. After downloading, click Install.
    Note: During the installation process, you will be prompted to install the driver. We can click on Install to proceed

Installing Arduino Pico Core in the Arduino IDE

  1. Arduino IDE, click the file in the upper left corner, and select preferences.

  2. Add the following link to the URL of the additional development board manager, and then click OK.
    https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico/releases/download/global/package_rp2040_index.json


    Note: If you already have an ESP32 board URL, you can separate the URLs with commas, as shown below:

    https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json,https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico/releases/download/global/package_rp2040_index.json
  3. Click tools > development board > development board manager > search pico, because my computer has been installed, it shows that it is installed.


First upload program

  1. Press and hold the BOOTSET button on the Pico board, connect the Pico to the USB interface of the computer through a Micro USB cable, and wait for the computer to recognize a removable hard drive (RPI-RP2) before releasing the button.


  1. Download the program and open D1-LED.ino under arduino\PWM\D1-LED path.
  2. Click on Tools>Port, remember the existing COM, there is no need to click on this COM (different computers display different COM, remember the existing COM on your own computer)

  3. Connect the driver board to the computer using a USB cable, then click Tools>Port, and select uf2 Board for the first connection. After uploading, connecting again will result in an additional COM port

  4. Click tools > development board >Raspberry Pi Pico/RP2040>Raspberry Pi Pico

  5. After setting, click the right arrow to upload the program.
