Thanks for the great and concise walk through! I have spent so much time with others and not getting to the point, this one is by far the most efficient, well done!
Thank you for a brilliant explanation, I've been struggling for a while to try and program the Pico using VS code with no success, came across your site today and gave it a try, it worked first time, excellent. 👍👍👍
Thanks. It's simple, connect the Pico to the computer and boot it in Flash mode (a folder pops up in the Windows My Computer, similar to when you connect a USB flash memory). Then just Drag-drop or copy-paste the *.UF2 file to that folder. the Pico restarts itself and boots with the new code
thank you, I notice that this instruction was in your article.... I had not read it!! but, is there a way to do it automatically, like platformio does?@@MyVanitar
Might change from the Arduino IDE at some point, but the binaries I created helped me a lot for now and my Pico's run MMBasic (like small computers.) It's a confusing subject and you helped a lot with this video. MicroPython or CircuitPython doesn't appeal to me.
Thanks. I'm also a fan of Python, but if a library does not exist, it would be a problem. for the initial test, use my Cmake and main.c, but if you want to use the hardware features, you have to modify the Cmake, including libraries, path, headers, source files ... etc.
Hi man, this is a good way to program in C++, I´m also fan of using C++ and this ease that task, I like it very much. But I have a question: I use to program the Dev C++ from Embarcadero, is it possible to use this instead of VSCode? What is te consideration of one and another
@@MyVanitarSry, the problem was that i wasn't using your sample code, now i can run it but because im using the w version im having other issues, thanks for the help!
@@laureanoquiroga9632 if you use other hardware features of your Pico board, you must add the header in your C file and also inside CMake. it's not difficult, but a bit time-consuming on the first attempts. Pico examples might help you
Raspberry foundation has released a standalone Windows installer which does all of this in one single click. I would recommend using that as it really eases the SDK setup process.
@@MyVanitarDon’t be a jerk. I watched the video and that’s why I gave advice based on my experience. All the manual work of installing everything individually has been replaced by one click installer. What was wrong with my comment?
man, the first step of this tutorial is about installing that package, but that package is out of date, that's why we should update some parts. Please watch the video completely and be polite, I don't owe anyone!

An Easy Method to Compile the Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ Code using VSCode and Pico SDK in Windows 10

Glad it was helpful!

Great to hear!
Best explanation I found to make this setup, congratulation!
Glad to hear that!
2:07 Where did you click with the mouse? :)
Thank you for this helpful video.
great! thank you. Can you teach how to transfer to pico? I am trying platformio but it does no talks with SDK
Thanks. It's simple, connect the Pico to the computer and boot it in Flash mode (a folder pops up in the Windows My Computer, similar to when you connect a USB flash memory). Then just Drag-drop or copy-paste the *.UF2 file to that folder. the Pico restarts itself and boots with the new code
thank you, I notice that this instruction was in your article.... I had not read it!! but, is there a way to do it automatically, like platformio does?@@MyVanitar
it's simple. just drag and drop (copy-paste). Just press the BOOT button and then the RESET button. Pico enters the Flash mode.
In an nutshell! This is what I wanted
You're welcome
This is a great tutorial man. Thank you sooooooo much!!!!
Glad you liked it!
I'm only missing one step, once compile is done, how to upload in the pico ? sorry, newbie here ! great and finally a short tutorial for once ! tnx !
go to the build folder and drag-drop/copy-paste the *.UF2 file into the Raspberry Pico folder (press the boot + reset to enter the flash mode)
@@MyVanitar I get a bunch of files but no .uf2 file... what am I missing so it does compile that file ?
so it is not compiled correctly, for your first experiment, just use my provided "main.c" and CMake files
@@MyVanitar ok I will try again ! thanks for the help !

it should work, follow the same process as I described. please do your first test with my main.c and CMake files
Thank you! C with Pi Pico disenchanted ;-)
Thanks.
You're welcome
Nice
Thanks

@@MyVanitar Hi! I have the same error code of this guy, i've followed every step, do u know what could be the problem?
@@laureanoquiroga9632 do you use my sample code? which command line you use to run the VSCode. the problem of that guy has been solved

Yes, they released but there is no help for installation and scan for kits!!! This tutorial is amazing I could install with @MyVanitar help easily.
This crap doesnt work correctly. I recomend to use only manual installation.
Thank you. Easy to follow 🫡
You're welcome!
Thanks
Thank you very much. I hope others also follow you
