Switched to this device, as I was having issues with the Pico that came with the device, neither Pico 1H or Pico2H W will boot into anything, at least not that I can see. Screen does not light up, and neither does the keyboard. I do not know if this is an issue with the board itself.
As an aside, the charging light comes on if batteries are in it and I hit the power button, or it is plugged in.
Have you flashed a suitable .uf2 file to the new Pico2 via its own micro usb socket ?. You will not see anything otherwise !
I have, I can use Thonny to look at and interact with the microcontroller. If I disconnect micro-usb and give power to my picocalc, nothing happens, just an orange charge light.
This is what I’ve managed to suss out that should allow it to boot.
what firmware are you talking about ?
Micropython ? PiocMite???
