Test Code

Connect the pico board to the Raspberry Pi, then the Thonny can compile or debug.

Advantages：

  1. You can use Thonny software to compile or debug programs.

  2. In the “Shell” window, you can view the error information and output results generated during the running of the program, and you can query related functional information online to help improve the program.

Disadvantages：

  1. You have to connect the pico board with the Raspberry Pi then run the Thonny.

  2. If disconnecting pico board and the Raspberry Pi and rebooting them, programming may fail.

Open Thonny and click“Open…”

Then click“This computer”

Select“Project_01_HelloWorld.py”and click“OK”.

Check the code in the folder KS3026 Keyestudio Raspberry Pi Pico Learning Kit Basic Edition\3. Raspberry Pi System\Python_Tutorial\2. Projects

You can move the code anywhere. We copyt the 2.Projects.zip to the pi folder of the Raspberry Pi system.
