Good day. I bought a few of the Maker-Pi’s which use a RP2040, and love all the additional features you get in the software (such as neopixel and DHT11) right out of the box. What I struggle with is not being able to be connected to the device and issue commands and get feedback. I can’t get the Block firmware to work on the device, only the microPython firmware. When I run the firmware on the board, it reboots as normal, but shows up as a unrecognized device in windows.
Am I missing something?
which firmware and ide you are using, the older ide.codeskool.cc or the newer dev.codeskool.cc and which firmware. We recently tested the new firmware on the same device, and it seems to be working on that board.
When I use dev.codeskool.cc, I only have a choice for Pico2 W, and no other Pi.
When I use ide.codeskool.cc, the first option for python works just fine when. When I use the second firmware, it fails to recognize the device after it installs. Windows just shows a unrecognized device.
Blocks programs in both versions ide and dev works only in PicoW, not plain Pico, as it requires Bluetooth for connectivity.
The previous version ide will work with PicoW, and the dev latest version will work with the latest Pico2 W.
We should have written PicoW in ide also, but at that time, there weren’t any versions and from the image it was clear its a WiFi/BLE version. Also changes in previous version is not possible now, code freeze.
The newer version makes it more clear with Pico2W mentioned.
