[Digi-Key Follow me Issue 1] 001: Unboxing + Building Development Environment + Lighting up LEDs

After a long wait, the development kit finally arrived. The picture below shows the complete set of hardware.

Among them, the resources of the Raspberry Pi Pico W small board in the C position are as shown in the figure below.

Most of the relevant information can be found on the event page. Thanks to the management for the careful compilation.
The first step is to build the development environment. In terms of hardware, the main thing is to solder a single-row pin with a spacing of 2.54mm on the core board. This is not difficult. In terms of software, since I have evaluated Weixue's board before, I have installed the portable version of Thonny software. Here is the link for your convenience to download.

In order to run MicroPython programs, you need to download the latest Raspberry Pi Pico W firmware and copy it to the board. The address is as follows.

Find the lighting program made by the big guys, paste it into the Thonny software, and run it.

Then you can see the LED on the board flashing quickly.
Later I heard that the author of Thonny had a more radical attitude in some aspects, and someone recommended Mu Editor. I installed the editor, as shown in the figure below, and it is pretty good to use.

I couldn't find a green version of this, so I had to install it on my computer.
For me, since I had experience in evaluating the MicroPython development board before, it was easy to set up the development environment. Students who have not played with it can refer to the posts of the masters. MicroPython is still very easy to get started.
