If you boot the Pico in BOOTSEL mode, you get to see a volume mounted, and it's obvious ( BUT WRONG) to think that this is where you dump your main.py file. BOOTSEL mode is ONLY to update the UF2 file. This clearly doesn't work though, because it is wrong. you boot the Pico with BOOTSEL pressed, copy the main.py to the Pico, then disconnect/reconnect to run the main.py. The official documentation instructions I read agree exactly with what thagrol thought, i.e. What computer and OS are you using, what version of Thonny do you have ?įor the benefit of anyone reading this, who was like myself, deeply confused by this process. Settings should persist between Thonny sessions so it shouldn't need to be done again unless the Pico is on a different serial port than it was.Īt least that's been my experience using Thonny on a Pi. If not that can be manually selected, is normally '/dev/ttyACM0' when run under Raspberry Pi OS and likely the same for other Linux systems. Once the Run -> Select Interpreter menu option has been set to 'MicroPython (Raspberry Pi Pico)', Thonny should be able to automatically determine the correct serial port. Thonny needs to know the virtual serial port the Pico is connected to so it can communicate with it.

Any more advice on the meaning of all this and general guidance on how to deal with this would be greatly appreciated. The port you choose depends on the OS you are using. I have discovered that you need to specify on Thonny which port to use by clicking on the bottom right or on 'tools'.
