Old school demo effects with Raspberry Pi Pico
1 project | /r/raspberry_pi | 7 Mar 2021

I like to test new boards with old school demo effects. Even though it has some quirks the Raspberry Pi SDK is really polished and pleasant to work with. Next addition will most likely be the Wormhole. If you want to try yourself, source code can be found at GitHub: https://github.com/tuupola/pico_effects

What're my debugging options without a raspberry pi?

There's also apparently a way to use the other core of a Pico as a debug programmer: https://github.com/majbthrd/pico-debug/ but that's pretty advanced.
Raspberry Pico: Simple Debugging with just one Device

This blog pot continues the Pico setup series and will detail how to setup a fully working debugger in VS Studio Code. Keep in mind that ultimately the steps are based on explanations from pico-debug project, and wizio-pico, but the setup is complex so I wrote a summarizing blog article. Follow along and you will be debugging your Pico C programs with the press of a simple launch button.
