Installation

Warning

If you're using PicoCalc, make sure to update your keyboard firmware first: https://github.com/jblanked/awesome-pico-calc/blob/master/GettingStarted.md#updating-the-stm32>

Universal Method

  1. Download the appropiate build from the builds directory.
  2. Press and hold the BOOT button on your Raspberry Pi Pico/W or Pico 2/2W.
  3. While holding the BOOT button, connect the Pico to your computer using a USB cable (that supports data transfer) until your computer recognizes a new storage device.
  4. Drag and drop the downloaded file onto the device that appears (it should be named RPI-RP2 if using a Raspberry Pi Pico/W or RP2350 if using a Raspberry Pi Pico 2/2W).
  5. Once the file transfer is complete, the Pico will eject itself. Disconnect the USB cable from your Pico.

Note

If you are installing the MicroPython version, copy the apps folder from builds/MicroPython to the picoware folder on your SD card. If there is no picoware folder, create one.

Note

If you are installing the CircuitPython version, after installing Picoware, replace the code.py file on your Pico with the one from src/CircuitPython. Then, copy the apps folder from builds/CircuitPython to the picoware folder on your SD card. If there is no picoware folder, create one.

Video Game Module (Only)

  1. Install the Video Game Module Tool app on your Flipper Zero from the Apps catalog: Video Game Module Tool.
  2. Download the Picoware-VGM.uf2 from the builds directory.
  3. Disconnect your Video Game Module from your Flipper and connect your Flipper to your computer.
  4. Open qFlipper.
  5. Navigate to the SD Card/apps_data/vgm/ directory. If the folder doesn’t exist, create it. Inside that folder, create a folder named Picoware.
  6. Drag the Picoware-VGM.uf2 file you downloaded earlier into the Picoware directory.
  7. Disconnect your Flipper from your computer, then turn it off.
  8. Connect your Video Game Module to your Flipper, then turn your Flipper on.
  9. Open the Video Game Module Tool app on your Flipper. It should be located in the Apps -> Tools folder from the main menu.
  10. In the Video Game Module Tool app, select Install Firmware from File, then choose apps_data.
  11. Scroll down and click on the vgm folder, then the Picoware folder, and finally select the Picoware-VGM.uf2 file.
  12. The app will begin flashing Picoware to your Video Game Module. Wait until the process is complete.
