Is, or will there, be support for the PICO programming with Python or MicroPython?

Thanks

At present there is no support for Python or MicroPython in Visual Micro.

The Raspberry Pi PICO is supported via the Arduino Core, in C++, along with hardware debugging also being available:

There is support now in the latest version. I am still working out some bugs I have on it with some libraries.

There is support for the Rasperry Pi Pico boards via multiple board packages, however there is still no support to use MicroPython or Python in Visual Micro to build code for the board.

The standard Arduino Raspberry Pi Pico boards can be installed in the Micro Explorer > Boards Manager Tab. If you search for "Pico" you will see there a package "Arduino Mbed OS RP2040 Boards" which contains the board.

Alternatively you can add the below JSON URL to the IDE Locations Window to show a different Pico package in Board Manager:
Code
Select All
https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico/releases/download/global/package_rp2040_index.json 



Documentation about using the board manager in vMicro can be found below:
