1. Introduction

This repository can be used as a template for a new Raspberry Pi Pico python project.

Note: Once you have downloaded/cloned this repository, open it in Visual Studio Code and run > MicroPico > Configure Project command via Ctrl+Shift+P (or the equivalent on your platform) VS Code command palette to initialize MicroPico.

2. Required Software (Windows/Mac-OS/Linux)

Name Description Link
Python
Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient high-level data structures and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. Python’s elegant syntax and dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in many areas on most platforms. https://www.python.org/
Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. It comes with built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript and Node.js and has a rich ecosystem of extensions for other languages and runtimes (such as C++, C#, Java, Python, PHP, Go, .NET). https://code.visualstudio.com/
Git
Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. https://git-scm.com/

3. Required Visual Studio Code Plugins

Name Description Link
Python
A Visual Studio Code extension with rich support for the Python language (for all actively supported versions of the language: >=3.7), including features such as IntelliSense (Pylance),linting, debugging, code navigation, code formatting refactoring, variable explorer, test explorer, and more! https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.python
Pylance
Pylance is an extension that works alongside Python in Visual Studio Code to provide performant language support. Under the hood, Pylance is powered by Pyright, Microsoft's static type checking tool. Using Pyright, Pylance has the ability to supercharge your Python IntelliSense experience with rich type information, helping you write better code faster. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.vscode-pylance
IntelliCode
The Visual Studio IntelliCode extension provides AI-assisted development features for Python, TypeScript/JavaScript and Java developers in Visual Studio Code, with insights based on understanding your code context combined with machine learning. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualStudioExptTeam.vscodeintellicode
MicroPico
"MicroPico" is a Visual Studio Code extension designed to simplify and accelerate the development of MicroPython projects for the Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W boards. This tool streamlines the coding process, providing code highlighting, auto-completion, code snippets, and project management features, all tailored for the seamless development experience with MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W microcontrollers. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=paulober.pico-w-go
