You should include this crate if you are writing code that you want to run on a [Pimoroni Pico Explorer] - a board featuring a small LCD screen, a breadboard and some breakout headers.
This crate includes the [rp2040-hal], but also configures each pin of the RP2040 chip according to how it is connected up on the Pico Explorer.
To use this crate, your Cargo.toml
file should contain:
toml
pimoroni-pico-explorer = "0.2.0"
In your program, you will need to call pimoroni_pico_explorer::Pins::new
to create
a new Pins
structure. This will set up all the GPIOs for any on-board
devices. See the examples folder for more details.
To compile an example, clone the rp-hal repository and run:
console
rp-hal/boards/pimoroni-pico-explorer $ cargo build --release --example <name>
You will get an ELF file called
./target/thumbv6m-none-eabi/release/examples/<name>
, where the target
folder is located at the top of the rp-hal repository checkout. Normally
you would also need to specify --target=thumbv6m-none-eabi
but when
building examples from this git repository, that is set as the default.
If you want to convert the ELF file to a UF2 and automatically copy it to the USB drive exported by the RP2040 bootloader, simply boot your board into bootloader mode and run:
console
rp-hal/boards/pimoroni-pico-explorer $ cargo run --release --example <name>
If you get an error about not being able to find elf2uf2-rs
, try:
console
$ cargo install elf2uf2-rs, then repeating the `cargo run` command above.
Displays the current temperature on the Pico Explorer's on-board LCD screen.
