Python codes

Use in Windows

• 1. Press and hold the BOOTSET button on the Pico board, connect the pico to the USB port of the computer through the Micro USB cable, and release the button after the computer recognizes a removable hard disk (RPI-RP2).
  
• 2. Copy the rp2-pico-20210418-v1.15.uf2 file in the python directory to the recognized removable disk (RPI-RP2).
  
• 3. Open Thonny IDE (Note: Use the latest version of Thonny, otherwise there is no Pico support package, the latest version under Windows is v3.3.3).
  
• 4. Click Tools->Settings->Interpreter, select Pico and the corresponding port as shown in the figure.
  

• 5. File -> Open -> the corresponding .py file, click to run, as shown in the following figure:

Expected result

You need to connect the Pico-CAN-A to another CAN adapter (3.3V, A to A, and B to B), the demo codes will test to send data SENDTESTABCD1234 and print data received.
