Sold out at nearest Micro Center, which is also closed due to bad weather :/ lol I was gonna order these online from other sellers, but for some reason the shipping costs 2x the price of the board.
Thank you! I've been struggling with Thonny (4.0.1) not allowing me to save to the Pico. The rshell option that you have demonstrated is a great alternative that no other RUclipsr or web site has spoken about. My Thonny issue turned out to be a hidden option for "Standard mode" that wasn't visible on the screen until it was expanded to the right. WTF! I only discovered it during the course of this video. I had deinstalled and reinstalled Thonny on my Rasberian Pi 3 system several times wondering why my Thonny screen didn't look like the ones in all of the videos. Not sure why a new Thonny install defaults to a screen without the ability to save to the Pico, but it was sure frustrating. Had I not discovered this ocluded option, the rshell solution would have been a viable alternative.
Any thoughts how to build micropython, not from the command-line, but rather from eclipse or an IDE like STM32CubeIDE? I assume it's a matter of getting the makefile to be compatible? Or how to port micropython (either the official version, or the OpenMV, LittlevGL versions) to an unsupported processor (RISC-V/Arm/Nios) on an FPGA (IGLOO/SF2/Max10), with the scripts in NVM selectable via rshell!
Thanks for this start up, seems the first Pico first look I've seen that actually takes the time to show properly the uf2 upload on a none Pi Linux machine, I've seen the dialout add mentioned on forums and passing remarks on permissions uploading micropython but me being such a terminal and coding dunce, a picture paints a thousand words. I thought when the pico reset and I reconnected but couldn't see the uploaded code I was doing something wrong. Thanks for this.
Dont think ye need rshell. There is a Files window you can open in Thonny itself and ye can copy / paste files between the local host folder and the Pico container, all within Thonny.
I followed your steps and the Thonny is giving me this mesage below... What should i do ? Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/thonny/plugins/micropython/backend.py", line 1, in from thonny.common import ( ImportError: cannot import name 'InterruptCommand' from 'thonny.common' (/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/thonny/common.py) Backend terminated or disconnected. Use 'Stop/Restart' to restart.
Most likely the 3.2.7 is installed by apt. You can remove it by sudo apt remove thonny. After this I recommend you install Thonny with following terminal command: bash Select interpreter).
I'm on windows 10, I was not able to follow your guide when you needed to login with $ sudo -aG dialout don Unable to connect to COM4: could not open port 'COM4': PermissionError(13, 'Access is denied.', None, 5) If you have serial connection to the device from another program, then disconnect it there first. Backend terminated or disconnected. Use 'Stop/Restart' to restart.
And upon uploading the click thing to the pico... it becomes unusable... because it constantly clicks! Can wipe back to standard UF2, but any time I try to go back to circuitpython, the file immediately is picked up and clicking starts again :(
Don great video. FYI ou can also do newgrp after you do the usermod. "Reload a Linux user's group assignments without logging out - Super User" superuser.com/questions/272061/reload-a-linux-users-group-assignments-without-logging-out Saves a full logout and login

they often 're-stock' the next day; check back to see if they released more the next day...
And....they don’t seem to be limiting quantity...I picked up 20 in one visit...
The pico is amazing for that price point!
Nice job giving us a little intro to the world of Pi microcontroller programming.
Love you novasprit and novasprit loves raspberry Pi
The Pico gives me NodeMCU vibes
Thanks Novasprit

I spend one whole evening just for let the LED light up.... Then I found your Video and it took my just 10 minutes XD

As you know the Microcenter in Tustin has a sign in which takes FOREVER. Not going back to MC until there is no matter wait list

What linux distro do you use on your desktop?
ubuntu 20.10
@@NovaspiritTech And desktop is Budgie or ?
i'm using stock ubuntu 20.10 gnome, watch my previous video on 2021 laptop setup. it's prety much the same as what you see on screen

Pico is on backorder in Canada. May not be available until March.
Great tutorial!! To the point but very detailed with lots of useful content. Can't wait to try developing with thonny on the pico :)
What OS is he using?
Ubuntu 20.10 Gnome
That was great.
can this board be programmed with C and debugged live with vscode without the need of extra hardware ? that would be awesome ...
Thonny link in description has a typo. Should be thonny.org/
thanks!! i fixed it
Good spot, not many people read the description, nevermind find mistakes in it
Great tutorial!! Detailed and to the point, can't wait to develop om thonny with the pico :)
Great vid. Are you aware of any UK supplies at such a good price ?

Hi,
I want to know how to make the gnome like yours(Task bar, system tray)
I'm on windows 10, I was not able to follow your guide when you needed to login with $ sudo -aG dialout don

Hi
Just wanted to say:
Have a nice day, everyone😁
wait! it has 128 MB file system on it? Could not found that in the web
Is it peeko or PI co.
Pico OR PI co which ever works for you
And upon uploading the click thing to the pico... it becomes unusable... because it constantly clicks!
Can wipe back to standard UF2, but any time I try to go back to circuitpython, the file immediately is picked up and clicking starts again :(
Press the stop button as soon as you plug it in., That also the reason why I had sleep timers
That price is insane! Even a dumb nail(machine screws) in Homedepot can cost more than that!
nice, bookmarked
Cool little thing!
Actually the word 'actually' is actually said a lot ... actually ;P
Interesting.
I feel that pico is 9 times arduino speed and 70 times memory space ! isn't it?
Bonjour, ça serait bien si t’es vidéos serait sous-titres en français.
sinon y'a les sous-titres générés par youtube (options paramètre-> sous-titre -> anglais -> traduire) , c'est plutôt bien traduit ici
Don great video.
FYI ou can also do newgrp after you do the usermod.
"Reload a Linux user's group assignments without logging out - Super User" superuser.com/questions/272061/reload-a-linux-users-group-assignments-without-logging-out
Saves a full logout and login
it's not necessary to mention, but I have the same wallpaper on my laptop😅
Thanks for telling everyone their $1.99.. Now (unless we live around the corner like you..) NO ONE can get them..
