Building programs on the Raspberry Pi Pico typically require installing some software on a programming computer. But when people arrive with a mix of Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS, and Linux laptops, often with different versions or architectures within each group, trying to guide them through the process can easily take a whole lesson, and require individual attention to debug each particular problem while the other students get bored. It’s also frustrating for the class to have to wait an hour before they get to do anything cool, I much prefer giving them a success as early as possible.
This video shows how you can use Google’s free Colab service to build a simple program for the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller in the browser, with no software installation on your local computer required.
The script is available on GitHub.
