RP2040-Zero with MicroPython Setup Guide

  1. Install VS Code.
  2. In VS Code, install the "MicroPico" extension.
  3. Download the MicroPython firmware from: https://micropython.org/download/RPI_PICO/RPI_PICO-latest.uf2
  4. Connect the RP2040-Zero to the computer. If a USB Drive doesn't appear, press: reset-down, boot-down, reset-up, boot-up.
  5. Open the USB Drive that appeared. Copy on the MicroPython uf2 file. Wait 30 seconds.
  6. Use Device Manager (or SerialTest) to see that a new USB Serial Device appeared.
  7. In VS Code with MicroPython, see that it's connected (see the status bar at the very bottom).
  8. Optional: Run pip install micropython-rp2-rpi_pico-stubs to install Python type checking helpers.
