If you are interested in adding a reset button to your Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller, you will be pleased to know that the official Raspberry Pi Foundation has published a quick tutorial detailing how this can be done very easily.As well as adding a reset button you also get debugger support, which is invaluable while developing, and involves adding just three more wires, if you connect your Pico to a Raspberry Pi 4 mini PC.
“We’ve tried to make it as easy as possible for you to load your code onto your new Raspberry Pi Pico: press and hold the BOOTSEL button, plug your Pico into your computer, and it’ll mount as a mass storage volume. Then just drag and drop a UF2 file onto the board. However, not everybody is keen to keep unplugging their micro USB cable every time they want to upload a UF2 onto the board. Don’t worry — there’s more than one way around that problem.
