Today, I got the Pico!!! Immediatelly I started to load up micropython on it, and download Thonny. It was a bit tricky, because my antivirus program wouldn’t let me download it, but I disabled it temporarily, and it worked just fine. And I quickly reviewed the first few pages of my PDF book, to make sure I know my Pico physically, not just the Wokwi version. After that I wanted to try it out with the onboard LED, but it didn’t worked, so I asked Gemini. I found out that my Pico, is actually Pico W, and the onboard led is a little different. After that it worked beautifully. Then I wanted to light up an external LED, and guess what, it also didn’t work! I started troubleshooting with Gemini on my side, and I found out, that my breadboard’s ground rail is probably damaged. After rewiring to bypass it, it lighted up!
