How to make the RPi PICO autorun a program

[@AlyssaGeology]

Thanks so much! I am fairly new to this and was driving myself crazy looking for a solution, I had no clue it was so easy!

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

Glad it helped! Be sure to check out all the other PICO related videos on the channel. Cheers! Chris

[@Edu124]

Great tutorial! Simple and easy to follow!

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

Glad it was helpful! Cheers! Chris

[@SimonPass230267]

Fantastic. Just the tutorial I needed and it works running my programme. Thank you very much for the great video.

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

Hi Simon, Thanks for the kind words and for having a look, there are plenty more videos on the channel too. Cheers! Chris

Great video and very helpful. Thanks.

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

Thank you very much for the feedback, much appreciated!

[@mancavemusician]

Thank you, its so much easier than the Raspberry Pi

[@RIAMCNC]

Hi Scott, Isn't that a wonderfully simple process. I agree, the Raspberry Pi is the worst for getting a program to autorun - heck, even Windows is better. Cheers! Chris

[@Turb0esky]

Great help. Learning more and more!!

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

Awesome! Glad to hear it. Cheers Chris

Lol, I could not help but see your Hooker Headers Tee shirt. Not that I am familiar with their product, but my 1965 442, 1969 W30 442, 1971 Vega (replaced the 4cyl with 327/4spd, and my 65 Mustang rebuilt to Shelby engine specs) all had Hooker headers in them. Great video, just found it.

So good to hear from an old Gear Head!!!! Yeah, I miss my old cars and racing. Still get the itch to get a car again but just don't have the energy anymore to do it right. Sounds like you had a nice range of cars to play with! Cheers! Chris

Hi, I'm a student and I'm doing a school project with Rasberry pi pico. I have a question regarding on how to charge the Lipo battery without adding another usb charging port, how can I use the usb port on the pico to charge my Lipo battery?

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

Hi, I am not aware of any devices that can do that for you. Keep searching though, new products are popping up every day. Cheers! Chris

Good work. FYI on the Pi Pico 2 W *wireless* version (and presumably on the earlier Pi Pico W), the LED is connected to the wireless module for some reason and so it is not controlled via the normal GPIO software. Instead, it is... led = machine.Pin("LED", machine.Pin.OUT) ... led.on() ... led.off()

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

Thanks for the addition and clarification for the on-board LED. Cheers! Chris

[@Michi-wd1ly]

Tested this with the led Code. Works, but just with my program somthing is going wrong here. (I also saved some libraries on the pico) Any ideas about this problem?

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

Hi Michi, Unfortunately, I would need a lot more information to understand the problem and offer advice. Chris

[@hanzbarrios8927]

Muchas pero muchas gracias, aplique lo mismo pero usando el pulsador interno como activador, ya que no quería que siempre se activara pero usando el pulsador siempre se va a mantener lanzando, gracias :)

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

I am glad to hear that the video helped you to get your program running every time you power up the Pico! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the videos. Cheers!

[@SLAM2ROS]

Thank you! I'm looking for the method to autorunning rasberypi pico, for 3 hours...

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

Can you provide more details. What are you trying to do?

[@M0nsieurPi]

me too, nearly 3 hours. Every other tutorial stops with explaining at some point. Chris explained what to do so that the program really starts from the pico without triggering the run-button at the PC. Thank you Chris!

[@josemoltv]

excellent, merci beaucoup

You are Welcome! Thank you for watching.

And when we have two scripts we save second as?

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

I am not sure I understand your question. There can only be one program that will autorun and that is main.py. You can have many more programs in the PICO as well, but none of them will autorun. Cheers! Chris

[@ntechsolutions1071]

@@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut Will that work on rpi 4?

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

@@ntechsolutions1071 Unfortunately no. The PI 4 has a full operating system and to auto run a program with that you will have to use "CRON" to get that to work. I don't have any information on that to share. Cheers! Chris

I'm trying to do a servo script and I'm wondering how I'd get it to run on battery pack startup? here's the script: #Include the library files from machine import Pin,PWM,ADC from time import sleep servo = PWM(Pin(0))#Include the servo motor pin potentiometer = ADC(28)#Include the potentiometer pin servo.freq(50)#Set the frequency #PWM min and max value in_min = 0 in_max = 65535 #Servo motor min and max degrees out_min = 1000 out_max = 9000 while True: #Get the potentiometer values value = potentiometer.read_u16() #Convert PWM values from 0 to 180 Servo = (value - in_min) * (out_max - out_min) / (in_max - in_min) + out_min #Rotate the servo motor servo.duty_u16(int(Servo)) Thank you and have a good day 😁

[@A_very_tinly_can]

Nevermind It does it by itself if I name it main haha

[@Samsul2013]

Thank you sir
