To control Raspberry Pi Pico with Tsumicky, connect Raspberry Pi Pico to your computer with a USB cable and combine it with Python on your computer.

Installing Python

First, install Python on your computer.
For instructions on downloading and installing Python, please refer to Python official website.

Installing U2IF firmware and Blinka

In order to be able to control the Raspberry Pi Pico by connecting it to a computer via USB, write firmware called "U2IF" to the Raspberry Pi Pico.
Also, install Blinka on Python on your computer.

For these instructions, see Adafruit official documentation. Please refer.
Also, please refer to my video.

Installing Python libraries

The Python server for running Raspberry Pi Pico uses the CircuitPython library, so install the necessary libraries.
Start a command prompt and enter the following command.

pip install websockets
pip install xlwings
pip install adafruit-circuitpython-motor
pip install adafruit-circuitpython-servokit
pip install adafruit-circuitpython-dht
pip install adafruit-circuitpython-bmp280
pip install adafruit-circuitpython-neopixel
pip install adafruit-circuitpython-ssd1306
pip install adafruit-circuitpython-mpu6050

Start the Python server

Start the Python server on your computer.
Start a command prompt and enter the following command.

unzipped-drive:
cd unzipped-folder\firmware\blinka
set BLINKA_U2IF=1
python tsumicky.py

For example, suppose you unzip the contents of the Tsumicky ZIp file to the Tsumicky folder on your C drive.
In this case, enter the following command:

c:
cd \tsumicky\firmware\blinka
set BLINKA_U2IF=1
python tsumicky.py
