Welcome to the brave new world of Pico! This repository contains the C/C++ and MicroPython libraries for our range of Raspberry Pi Pico addons.
First of all you need to decide if your project is going to be done in MicroPython or using C/C++ with the Pico SDK. We have instructions for both here:
- MicroPython: The easiest way to get start, setup is a breeze! Click here to view instructions for MicroPython
- C/C++: For more advanced users that want to unleash the full power of Pico! Click here to view instructions for C/C++
It's very early days for Pico and we've been working our little socks off to get everything ready for launch.
Most of our Pico addons have support for both C/C++ and MicroPython but we're still catching up a little bit in places.
The table below shows the current state of compatibly and some notes to set expectations:
| Product | C/C++ Library | MicroPython Library | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pico Explorer Base | Yes | Yes | |
| Pico RGB Keypad | Yes | Yes | |
| Pico Unicorn Pack | Yes | Yes | MicroPython support added in v0.0.3 Alpha |
| Pico Audio Pack | Yes | No | Limited support for MicroPython planned |
| Pico Scroll Pack | Yes | Yes | |
| Pico Display Pack | Yes | Yes |
We will keep this information updated as things develop.
Note: It's very early days for Raspberry Pi Pico and it's likely that our libraries will undergo quite a lot of changes over the next couple of weeks as we take in feedback and expand the functionality.
