Pimoroni Pico Libraries and Examples

Welcome to the brave new world of Pico! This repository contains the C/C++ and MicroPython libraries for our range of Raspberry Pi Pico addons.

First of all you need to decide if your project is going to be done in MicroPython or using C/C++ with the Pico SDK. We have instructions for both here:

MicroPython: The easiest way to get start, setup is a breeze! Click here to view instructions for MicroPython
C/C++: For more advanced users that want to unlease the full power of Pico! Click here to view instructions for C/C++

Software support for our Pico range

It's very early days for Pico and we've been working our little socks off to get everything ready for launch.

Most of our Pico addons have support for both C/C++ and MicroPython but we're still catching up a little bit in places.

The table below shows the current state of compatibly and some notes to set expectations:

Product	C/C++ Library	MicroPython Library	Notes
Pico Explorer Base	Yes	Yes
Pico RGB Keypad	Yes	Yes
Pico Unicorn Pack	Yes	Known Bug	There is a known issue we're working on
Pico Audio Pack	Yes	No	Limited Support for MicroPython planned
Pico Scroll Pack	Yes	Yes
Pico Display Pack	Yes	Yes

We will keep this information updated as things develop.

Note: It's very early days for Raspberry Pi Pico and it's likely that our libraries will undergo quite a lot of changes over the next couple of weeks as we take in feedback and expand the functionality.
