3. How to access Camera using Python
(on Windows)
3.1 Download and install developing software Thonny
Refer to the official manual:
https://thonny.org/
3.2 Configure the IDE
Refer to the official manual:

PI-
CO_SPI_CAM/Python/
file path to Pico
.
•
Open Thonny software
-
>Select
Interpreter
-

Circuit Python(generic)
-
> Press
OK
•
Open Device Manager to check the
Ports(COM & LPT)

Python(generic)
•
Copy all the
boot.py file
under
PICO_SPI_CAM/
Python/
file path to Pico.
•
Reboot Pico and then check the new
port number
under
Ports(COM & LPT)
