# Pimoroni Pico Libraries and Examples <!-- omit in toc -->
Welcome to the brave new world of Pico!
This repository contains the C/C++ and MicroPython libraries for our range of RP2040-based boards, Raspberry Pi Pico addons & [supported Breakout Garden sensors](#breakouts).

# MicroPython
The easiest way to get started. If you're new to Pico, we recommend you read our [getting started with Pico](https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/getting-started-with-pico) tutorial.
:warning: All of our MicroPython libraries are baked into a batteries-included, custom version of MicroPython which you can grab from releases: [https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/releases/latest/](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/releases/latest/)
New releases are issued regularly with new libraries, bug fixes to our existing libraries and new features inherited from MicroPython upstream. Be sure to check back!

* [Readme: Instructions for setting up MicroPython](setting-up-micropython.md)
* [Pimoroni Pico MicroPython + Drivers Releases](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/releases)
## MicroPython Examples
You can find MicroPython examples for supported sensors, packs and bases in the "micropython/examples" directory:
* [MicroPython Examples](micropython/examples)
# C/C++
For more advanced users that want to unleash the full power of Pico, you can use our C++ libraries. If you know what you're doing and want to build your own Pimoroni Pico project then start with the [Pimoroni Pico SDK Boilerplate](https://github.com/pimoroni/pico-boilerplate).

* [Readme: Instructions for setting up the C/C++ SDK](setting-up-the-pico-sdk.md)
## C++ Examples
You can find examples for supported sensors, packs and bases in the "examples" directory:
* [C++ Examples](examples)
## Boilerplate for C++ Projects
We also maintain a C++/CMake boilerplate with GitHub workflows configured for testing and a basic skeleton project.
