• A : The menu bar that contains the file New, Save, Edit, View, Run, Debug, etc.
• B : This paper icon allows you to create a new file.
• C : The folder icon allows you to open files that already exist in your computer or Raspberry Pi Pico, if your
Pico is already plugged into your computer.
• D : Click on the floppy disk icon to save the code. Similarly, you can choose whether to save the code to your
computer or to the Raspberry Pi Pico.
• E : The play icon allows you to run the code. If you have not saved the code, save the code before it can run.
•
F
: The Debug icon allows you to debug your code. Inevitably, you will encounter errors when writing code.
Errors can take many forms, sometimes using incorrect syntax, sometimes incorrect logic. Debugging is the
tool for finding and investigating errors.
Note: The Debug tool cannot be used when MicroPython (Raspberry Pi Pico) is selected as the interpreter.
If you want to debug your code, you need to select the interpreter as the default interpreter and save as to your computer
after debugging.
Finally, select the MicroPython (Raspberry Pi Pico) interpreter again, click the save as button, and re-save the debugged
code to your Raspberry Pi Pico.
• The G, H and I arrow icons allow you to run the program step by step, but can only be started after clicking on
the Degug icon. As you click on each arrow, you will notice that the yellow highlighted bar will indicate the
line or section of Python that is currently evaluating.
