You computer should detect the Pico as a USB Mass Storage device. Release BOOTSEL once the drive RPI-RP2 appears on your computer. Copy the uf2 file to your Pico. The onboard LED should start blinking. +> On some Pico and Pico W boards we have found that the BOOTSEL button doesn't actually engage even though a definite 'click' can be felt. If you don't see the USB mass storage device appear on your computer when following the instructions above then you might need to press the button a little harder, but be VERY careful not to bend the board. Squeezing between the thumb and forefinger works for us. + ### 4. Connect the Pico or Pico W to your Phone/Tablet Communication between the firmware on the Pico (or Pico W) and app on the phone/tablet can be either via USB or Wi-Fi (Pico W only).
