• PicoGraphics MicroPython function reference

Non-Wireless Examples

Button Test

button_test.py

Shows a simple way of reading the buttons and drawing on the screen.

Clock

clock.py

Demonstrates a fast update speed.

Wireless Examples

The wireless examples need network_manager.py and WIFI_CONFIG.py from the common directory to be saved to your Pico W. Open up WIFI_CONFIG.py in Thonny to add your wifi details (and save it when you're done).

You'll also need to install the micropython-urllib.urequest library using Thonny's 'Tools' > 'Manage Packages'.

Bored API

bored_api.py

Simple demo to get a random activity from BoredAPI.com

Place Kitten

placekitten.py

Grab a random image from PlaceKitten.com and display it on Inky Pack.
