Pico-Arduino
|
Recently I was receiving my Raspberry PI Pico and I had the opportunity to play around with it. Actually most of the time I spent reading the Manuals... The conclusion: interesting - but a little bit too complicated. So I was quite happy to read that Arduino plans to add an official support for this Microcontroller.
However I did not want to wait for the official support to be available, so as a temporary solution, I decided to make my own Arduino API availale as a separate project.
Details can be found in the [examples directory](examples)
The generated Class Documentation can be found in the doc folder
It helps to know the functions of the pins. Here is a copy of the pinout provided by the official Raspberry Pi Pico Documentation:
If a method is requiring a pin, you can provide the GPIO number as integer or use the corresponding GP name as given in the sheet above.
The following calls are all identical:
Deployment is very easy - just press the button on your Pico while plugging it to your computer via USB. This will automatically mount the Pico as external drive (RPI-RP2). Finally you just need to copy the generated uf2 file from your build directory to the drive.
That's it!
