Raspberry Pico

Raspberry Pi Pico is a low-cost, high-performance microcontroller board with flexible digital interfaces. It incorporates Raspberry Pi's own RP2040 microcontroller chip, with a dual-core Arm Cortex M0+ processor running up to 133 MHz, embedded 264KB of SRAM, and 2MB of onboard Flash memory, as well as 26x multi-function GPIO pins.
For software development, either Raspberry Pi's C/C++ SDK or the MicroPython is available. There are also complete development resources and tutorials to help you get started easily, and integrate it into end products quickly.

User Guides for MicroPython

Refresh Firmware

  • Download Testing Firmware to your computer and extract it.
    • There are two uf2 files, the pico_micropython_20210121.uf2 file is MicroPython firmware
  • Press the button on the Pico board, connect the pico to the USB port of the computer via the Micro USB cable, and then release the button.
    • After connecting, the computer will automatically recognize a removable disk (RPI-RP2)

Micropython-firmware.png

  • Copy and drag the firmware file downloaded earlier to the RPi-RP2 mobile disk
  • After the copy is completed, Pico will automatically restart, and after the automatic restart, pico will be recognized as a virtual serial port

Pico-com53.png
【Note】 1. If the mobile disk is not automatically recognized after connecting to pico?
▶ Check that the BOOTSEL button is not pressed or released in the middle.
▶ The Micro USB cable used must be a data cable, and the USB cable that can only be used for power supply cannot be used.
2. You can also operate on the Raspberry Pi, the operation steps are the same, also connect the pico to the Raspberry Pi, and then drag the firmware to the mobile disk.

Software Environment Debugging

Windows

In order to facilitate the development of Pico boards using MicroPython on the computer, it is recommended to download Thonny IDE.

Raspberry

If you want to control Pico on Raspberry Pi, please refer to this con figuration step
Current Raspberry Pi systems come with Thonny IDE.
But if Thonny is not updated to the latest version, there is no Pico support package, and you need to update Thonny to the latest v3.3.3 version.

  • Enable a terminal and enter the following command to update thonny
sudo apt upgrade thonny
  • Open Thonny IDE (click Raspberry logo -> Programming -> Thonny Python IDE )
  • Select Tools -> Options... -> Interpreter
  • Select MicroPython (Raspberry Pi Pico and ttyACM0 port

Thony3.png

LED Control Demo

  • Connect the Pico to the computer (without pressing any keys), if you have not flashed MicroPython before, please follow the #Flash firmware operation
  • Select Tools -> Options... -> Interpreter
  • Select Raspberry Pi Pico in the interpreter options (be careful to download the latest version of Thonny, otherwise there is no option)
  • port selection
    • On the computer, the port is selected as, after connecting to Pico, the COM port recognized by the computer
    • On the Raspberry Pi, the port is identified as /dev/ttyACM0.
  • then confirm
  • After confirmation, you can see that there will be multiple Pico information in the command line interface, and now you can enter the MicroPython program here to control the pico

Thony7.png

  • Looking at the pin diagram of Pico, we know that the control pin of Pico's on-board LED is GPIO25, here we try to control the on-board LED
  • Run the following code in sequence in Thonny
>>> from machine import Pin
>>> led = Pin(25, Pin.OUT)
>>> led.value(1)
>>> led.value(0)

LED demo-shell.png
After running the code in sequence, you can see that the Pico onboard LED lights are turned on and then off
【Note】
If you want to know more about the functions of Pico Micropython, you can refer to Pico Python SDK Manual


Hardware Connection

Please take care of the direction when you connect Pico, an USB port is printed to indicate. You can also check the pin of Pico and the LCD board when connecting.
You can connect the display according to the table.

LCD Pico Description
VCC VSYS Power Input
GND GND GND
MPU.INT GP2 INT pin of ICM20948
LPS.INT GP3 INT pin of LPS22HB
SDA GP6 SDA pin of I2C
SCL GP7 SCL pin of I2C
FSYNC GP22 FSYNC pin of ICM20948

Connect the expansion board

Environment Building

Please refer to Here.

Download the examples

Open a Raspberry Pi terminal and run the following commands:

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
cd ~
sudo wget  https://files.waveshare.com/upload/c/c5/Pico-Kit-B-code.7z
7z x Pico-Kit-B-code.7z -o./Pico-Kit-B-code
cd ~/Pico-Kit-B-code
cd c/build/

How to use

C Example

Go to the directory of the C example and build it. 

cd ~/Pico-Kit-B-code/c/

Create the build folder and enter it. add the SDK:

../../pico-sdk #should be the path of the SDK according to the actual situation.

We have created the build folder in the example, you can just enter it.

cd build
export PICO_SDK_PATH=../../pico-sdk
(Note: Please check if you set the correct path of SDK, it may be different for different users)

Run cmake to generate the Makefile 

cmake ..

Run make to build the example, it will take minutes.

make -j9

uf2 is generated after building.
Press and hold the button of the Pico board, and then connect the Pico to your Raspberry Pi or PC by USB cable, then release the button. Then copy the main.uf2 file which is saved in the build folder to the Pico (It should be recognized as a portable drive, which is named RPI-RP2).

Python example

Work with windows PC

  • 1. Press and hold the BOOTSET button of Pico, and connect the Pico to your PC by USB cable. Release the button if the Pico is recognized as a portable drive.
  • 2. Copy the rp2-pico-20210205-unstable-v1.14-8-g1f800cac3.uf2 from the Python directory to the Pico.
  • 3. Open Thonny IDE (Note: Please use the newest version).
  • 4. Click Tools -> Options -> Interpreter and choose the Port of Pico (you can check it in the Device Manager).

Raspberry-Pi-Pico-Basic-Kit-M-3.png

  • 5. Click File -> Open..., choose Raspberry-Pi-Pico-Kit-B.py, and run it.

Pico-lcd-0.96-img-run.png

Working with Raspberry Pi

  • 1. The steps to download the firmware is the same as Windows PC. Copy the rp2-pico-20210205-unstable-v1.14-8-g1f800cac3.uf2 to Pico.
  • 2. Open the Thonny IDE in Raspberry Pi（Menu -> Programming -> Thonny Python IDE, you can check the version information in Help -> About Thonny to make sure that it is the version that supports Pico.
  • 3. Click Tools -> Options... -> Interpreter to choose the MicroPython(Raspberry Pi Pico and the ttyACM0 port.

Pico-lcd-0.96-img-config2.png
Please update the Thonny IDE if the pre-installed one doesn't support Pico.

sudo apt upgrade thonny
  • 3. Click File -> Open...-> Pico-Kit-B-code/python/Raspberry-Pi-Pico-Kit-B.py and run the codes.

Expected result

  • 1. The LCD keeps blank if you didn't run the demo codes;
  • 2. After running the codes, the LCD turns on and displays the data which is collected by the Pico-10DOF-IMU.
