Raspberry Pi 5 GPIO

@Manuel_Angel

For now I have followed this guide which I found very accessible and educational for a beginner.

The steps previously posted for flashing the PICO are item 3.2 of the Getting Started Guide.

@Manuel_Angel

My idea is above all to use your software to “break the ice”, but later I would like to master the programming of the Pico in more depth.

Understood. Enjoy.

Hello Manuel_Angel did you proceed on using pico for your project ?

[Manuel_Angel]

Hi @sciallino,

Yes, in fact, to this day I continue to use the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller for stepper motor control and lighting on my scanner.

At this link you can see an image of the Raspberry Pi 5, prototyping board with Pico and Rasperry Pi Debug Probe assembly.

It works very well. The designers of the Pico microcontroller had the brilliant idea of ​​including programmable peripherals called state machines that operate with their own clock completely independently of the CPU. These state machines are ideal for controlling stepper motors.

Brilliant ! do you think to publish your revised software ? It would be great
