Welcome to the brave new world of Pico!
This repository contains the C/C++ and MicroPython libraries for our range of RP2040-based boards, Raspberry Pi Pico addons & supported Breakout Garden sensors.
The easiest way to get started. If you're new to Pico, we recommend you read our getting started with Pico tutorial.
New releases are issued regularly with new libraries, bug fixes to our existing libraries and new features inherited from MicroPython upstream. Be sure to check back!

You can find MicroPython examples for supported sensors, packs and bases in the "micropython/examples" directory:
You can also install MicroPython stubs into Visual Studio Code to give you auto-complete, see:
Advanced users that want to unleash the full power of Pico can use our C++ libraries. If you know what you're doing and want to build your own Pimoroni Pico project then start with the Pimoroni Pico SDK Boilerplate.
You can find examples for supported sensors, packs and bases in the "examples" directory:
We also maintain a C++/CMake boilerplate with GitHub workflows configured for testing and a basic skeleton project.
