📌 Code Examples – Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040)

📋 Overview

The Raspberry Pi Pico is a powerful 32-bit microcontroller board based on the RP2040 chip. It supports:

Arduino
MicroPython
C / C++ (official SDK)

Common use cases include:

  • GPIO control

  • PWM (LEDs, servos)

  • ADC (sensors)

  • I²C / SPI communications

  • Timers and interrupts

This section includes starter examples for both Arduino and MicroPython to help customers hit the ground running.


🟢 MicroPython Getting Started

1) Install MicroPython Firmware

  1. Hold BOOTSEL and connect the board via USB

  2. Release BOOTSEL when the RP2040 shows up as a USB mass storage device

  3. Drag & drop the official MicroPython UF2 firmware file onto the device


🔌 MicroPython – Blink LED (Onboard)

Pico’s onboard LED is usually on GPIO 25.

from machine import Pin
import time
led = Pin(25, Pin.OUT)

while True:
led.toggle()
time.sleep(0.5)


📡 MicroPython – PWM (LED Brightness)

from machine import Pin, PWM
import time
pwm_led = PWM(Pin(25))
pwm_led.freq(1000)

while True:
for duty in range(0, 65535, 5000):
pwm_led.duty_u16(duty)
time.sleep(0.02)

for duty in range(65535, 0, –5000):
pwm_led.duty_u16(duty)
time.sleep(0.02)


📊 MicroPython – ADC (Read Analog Sensor)

This reads a sensor on GPIO 26 (ADC0).

from machine import ADC, Pin
import time
adc = ADC(Pin(26))

while True:
raw = adc.read_u16() # 0–65535
voltage = raw * (3.3 / 65535)
print(“Raw:”, raw, “Voltage:”, round(voltage, 2), “V”)
time.sleep(0.5)


🔵 Arduino Getting Started

Arduino IDE Setup

  1. Open Arduino IDE 2.x

  2. Go to Boards Manager

  3. Install Raspberry Pi RP2040 Boards

  4. Select Raspberry Pi Pico as the board

  5. Choose Upload Method (USB or SWD via programmer)


🔌 Arduino – Blink LED

const int PIN_LED = 25;

void setup() {
pinMode(PIN_LED, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(PIN_LED, HIGH);
delay(500);
digitalWrite(PIN_LED, LOW);
delay(500);
}


⚙️ Arduino – PWM (LED)

const int LED_PIN = 25;

void setup() {
pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);
analogWriteResolution(8); // 8-bit resolution (0–255)
analogWriteFrequency(LED_PIN, 1000); // 1 kHz
}

void loop() {
for (int duty = 0; duty <= 255; duty++) {
analogWrite(LED_PIN, duty);
delay(10);
}
for (int duty = 255; duty >= 0; duty–) {
analogWrite(LED_PIN, duty);
delay(10);
}
}


📈 Arduino – ADC Read

const int ADC_PIN = 26;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
int raw = analogRead(ADC_PIN);
float voltage = raw * (3.3 / 4095.0); // 12-bit ADC range on Pico
Serial.print(“Raw: “);
Serial.print(raw);
Serial.print(” Voltage: “);
Serial.println(voltage, 2);
delay(500);
}


🧠 Notes & Tips

GPIO numbering on Pico corresponds to physical pin labels
ADC read range is 0–4095 in Arduino by default
PWM resolution can be configured using analogWriteResolution()
✔ Pico’s USB can act as a native USB device (e.g., serial, MIDI, HID) with advanced libraries


🧠 Common Use Cases

  • Display sensor data

  • Control servos

  • Sensor data logging

  • I²C LCD/OLED displays

  • Wireless board combos (e.g., RP2040 + ESP modules)
