# Setting up MicroPython
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you just want to use MicroPython then setup is a breeze as we've already built the firmware for you and you can simply drag it onto your Pico to get started.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to use our products with your Raspberry Pi Pico then you must use our pre-built firmware as it contains all of the drivers needed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To setup your Raspberry Pi Pico with our MicroPython firmware follow these steps:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Step 1.** Disconnect the USB cable from your Raspberry Pi Pico.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Step 2.** Press and hold the "BOOTSEL" switch on top of the Raspberry Pi Pico.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Step 3.** Plug the USB cable back into your Raspberry Pi Pico (making sure to keep the "BOOTSEL" button pressed while you do it!).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This should put your Raspberry Pi Pico into firmware update mode. It will appear as a new disk drive on your computer with the name **RPI-RP2**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Step 4.** Download our custom MicroPython firmware image. [Click here to download]()

|
||
|
|
**Step 5.** Copy the downloaded firmware image onto the **RPI-RP** drive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The firmware will now upload to your Raspberry Pi Pico and when it has finished uploading (which takes around five seconds) the Pico will restart itself.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
Hurrah! You're setup and good to go!
