Repository files navigation

Welcome to Pico projects for C and C++ using CMake and the pico-sdk.

Happy coding!

To get started with the devcontainer forpico-projects, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/PicoNexus/pico-projects.git

2. Open in VS Code

Open the cloned pico-projects repository in Visual Studio Code.

3. Open in Devcontainer

Use the VS Code command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and select Remote-Containers: Open Folder in Container.... Choose the pico-projects folder.

4. Build the Container

The first time you do this, the container will be built, which may take a few minutes.

5. Running Scripts

Once the container is built and running, open a terminal in VS Code (either Bash or Zsh) and run the build script:

./build.sh

There are a few other scripts available:

- clean.sh- build-gcc.sh- run.sh

These scripts will be documented soon.

Note: checkout.sh runs automatically when the container is created, so you don't need to run it manually.

Using Linux or WSL2 will make your experience much more enjoyable.

git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk.git

Here's an example for Linux/WSL2:

export PICO_SDK_PATH=/home/pawel/src/32bitmicro/PicoNexus/pico-sdk

Check outQuick-start your own project to get things rolling.

git clone https://github.com/PicoNexus/pico-projects.git

Now you're all set to dive into your Pico projects.

Open a command line and navigate to the pico-projects folder:

cd ~/src/32bitmicro/PicoNexus/pico-projectsmkdir buildcd buildcmake ..

For reference, see thelog of cmake configuring projects

cmake build .

For reference, see thelog of cmake building projects

If CMake configuration fails like this:For reference, see thelog of cmake failing to configure,you need to update the submodules in the pico-sdk folder:

cd ~/src/32bitmicro/PicoNexus/pico-sdkgit submodule update --init

For reference, see thelog of git updating sub-modules

Once updated, return to the Configuration Step and try again.
