General • Re: Need help with Pico based Macropad

Just some observations/comments:

• PICO does not run an OS so you don't boot it. When you power it on, it starts running the firmware.

• CIrcuitPython V9 seems to be a development release. Current stable version is 8. Did you use something this site to get started in terms on installing the firmware and getting an IDE to usehttps://learn.adafruit.com/getting-star ... cuitpython

• You didn't say which Macropad you are using. Normally there are installation instructions associated with Raspberry PI. Here's an example https://www.adafruit.com/product/5128

• As noted, the code shown is not properly formatted Python code. Sometimes the installation instructions include sample code

• Does you code cause the LED to flash? If not, you may have a PICO error. I'd recommend reloading the CircuitPyton UF2 and reloading the CircuitPython program

• What errors are being reported?

Unfortunately, I only understand MicroPython on the PICO so some of your references don't make sense. I'd suggest also checking the CirpuitPython site where they also have forums https://circuitpython.org/awesome
