Drag and drop MicroPython:

You can program your Pico by connecting it to a computer via USB, then dragging and dropping a file onto it, so we’ve put together a downloadable UF2 file to let you install MicroPython more easily.

• Download the MicroPython UF2 file by clicking the button below.
• Push and hold the BOOTSEL button and plug your Pico into the USB port of your Raspberry Pi or other computer.
• Release the BOOTSEL button after your Pico is connected to your computer.
• It will mount as a Mass Storage Device called RPI-RP2.
• Drag and drop the MicroPython UF2 file onto the RPI-RP2 volume.
• Your Pico will reboot. You are now running MicroPython.
• You can access the REPL and MicroPython via USB Serial.
