Coding Via Arduino IDE

Installation Process

Put this link in the Additional Boards Manager URLs (File>Preferences) under the Preferences tab in your Arduino IDE
- https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico/releases/download/global/package_rp2040_index.json
Select Tools>Board>Board Manager and search for “Pico” and select “Raspberry Pi Pico/ RP2040” to install.
Now everything set up for you to code your Pico using Arduino IDE

Note: When uploading for the first time, you won’t see the Pico in the COM Port selection, just click on upload and it will automatically find the COM port and upload the code, afterwards you will see the COM port in the COM port selection of the Arduino IDE
