Hey guys, i need some help with my raspberry pi pico. I just like to started with a project but first i´ve wanted to learn some basic coding skills. But i can´t programm my pico. I can run the internal LED with the blink.uf2 programm and say Hello World so the Tutorial worked. So i´d like to write my own code to make a external LED blinking but in the Thonny programm i can´t find the pico. I don´t know which Interprter to use or which port to use. In the Shell there´s the Error: Coulnd´t find the device automatically. i tried it with my Windows PC and even with my Raspberry pi4. In both ways it won´t work. It would be great to get help from you and sorry for my englisch i´m not a native speaker

Hi, to solve your problem, you can try the following steps: Make sure you have the latest version of Thonny and the required drivers for the Raspberry Pi Pico installed. Check if the Raspberry Pi Pico is properly connected to your computer and being recognized. You can check this by looking in your operating system to see if the Pico is listed as a connected device. Open Thonny and go to the settings to ensure the correct interpreter is selected. Typically, "MicroPython (Raspberry Pi Pico)" should be selected. Make sure the correct port is selected. In the settings of Thonny, you can select the port associated with your Raspberry Pi Pico. Try uploading the program again by connecting the Raspberry Pi Pico through Thonny and transferring the program to the Pico. If these steps don't help, there may be an issue with your Raspberry Pi Pico or your connection. In this case, it may be helpful to contact Raspberry Pi customer support or the manufacturer of the Raspberry Pi Pico.
