The `picoexplorer` module contains constants you can use with our shared libraries to make it easy to draw to the screen and interface with the buttons, piezo buzzer and motor driver. You don't need to use the constants of course, you can skip the `import pico_explorer` and just enter the pin number/s if you prefer. There's a handy reference of what pins are used for which functions on the bottom of the board.

This is useful for rapidly increasing/decreasing values:
