Principle of Operation

The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 operates as a standalone microcontroller board where the RP2350A processor executes firmware stored in the onboard QSPI flash memory. The microcontroller manages connected sensors, actuators, communication devices, and other electronic peripherals through its programmable GPIO and hardware interfaces.

Programs can be uploaded through the USB interface using drag-and-drop programming mode or through supported development environments. The integrated peripherals allow the Pico 2 to perform real-time control tasks, process sensor data, communicate with external devices, and execute embedded applications without requiring a full operating system.

Library Required

The required libraries depend on the programming environment and connected peripherals.

    • MicroPython: Built-in MicroPython libraries (no additional installation required).
    • C/C++ SDK: Raspberry Pi Pico SDK.
    • CircuitPython: CircuitPython libraries from Adafruit.
    • Arduino IDE: Raspberry Pi Pico board support package.

Installing CircuitPython on Raspberry Pi Pico 2

CircuitPython provides an easy way to program the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 using Python. The setup only requires installing the CircuitPython firmware and copying your code files directly to the board.

1. Download CircuitPython Firmware

Download the latest CircuitPython firmware for Raspberry Pi Pico 2 from the official CircuitPython website:

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 CircuitPython Firmware

2. Install CircuitPython

Disconnect the Pico 2 from USB, then press and hold the BOOTSEL button while connecting it to your computer using a USB data cable.

A new USB drive named RPI-RP2 will appear. Copy the downloaded .UF2 CircuitPython firmware file into this drive.

After the installation is completed, the board will restart automatically and a new drive named CIRCUITPY will appear.

3. Add Libraries

For basic Pico 2 functions, no additional libraries are required. For sensors, displays, and external modules, download the required libraries from the Adafruit CircuitPython Library Bundle and copy them into the lib folder on the CIRCUITPY drive.

Adafruit CircuitPython Library Bundle

4. Write Your First Program

Create a file named code.py on the CIRCUITPY drive. The Pico 2 will automatically run this file whenever it is powered on or reset.

You can edit programs using editors such as Thonny, Mu Editor, or any text editor.

 

Example Arduino Code


import time
import board
import digitalio

# Configure onboard LED
led = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.LED)
led.direction = digitalio.Direction.OUTPUT

# Blink LED
while True:
 led.value = True # Turn LED ON
 time.sleep(1)

 led.value = False # Turn LED OFF
 time.sleep(1)

How it works:

board.LED selects the built-in LED on the Pico 2. digitalio controls the GPIO pin. The loop turns the LED ON for 1 second and OFF for 1 second. CircuitPython automatically runs code.py every time the Pico 2 starts. After saving the file, the Pico 2 will restart automatically and the LED will begin blinking.
