Hi I have my R Pi Pico installed in the display (this one - [Pico Inky Pack](https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/pico-inky-pack?variant=40044626051155)). I have flashed the Pico with the latest firmware and it is recognised in Thonny. I am at a loss as to what to next to get the display working.I have looked at the github, but have no idea what to do next - [GitHub - pimoroni/pimoroni-pico: Libraries and examples to support Pimoroni Pico add-ons in C++ and MicroPython.](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico) Which libraries are needed and how do I install them onto my Pico? Any help would be appreciated. Regards ---

Assuming you have it flashed with the Pimoroni Pico firmware in that repo, you should have all necessary libraries built in - try firing up any of the Pico Inky examples ([pimoroni-pico/micropython/examples/pico\_inky at main · pimoroni/pimoroni-pico · GitHub](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/tree/main/micropython/examples/pico_inky)) and you should see thing appear! ---

Thanks for the response. I just flashed using the standard micropython firmware from here - [MicroPython - Python for microcontrollers](https://micropython.org/download/RPI_PICO/) Please could you provide a link for the firmware needed to use the pimoroni display? Regards ---

The releases are all in the repo you linked - the latest is → [Releases · pimoroni/pimoroni-pico · GitHub](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/releases) You’ll probably want `pimoroni-pico-v1.21.0-micropython.uf2`, or `pimoroni-picow-v1.21.0-micropython.uf2` if you have a PicoW. It’s linked from the product page (look under “Software”), along with some “getting started with your Pico” and PicoGraphics resources. ---

Would I need the pico or inky frame uf2 file? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/pimoroni/original/2X/d/d2e5a8e76f6ae24ebfca06c4ebed7a32b156ea99.png) ---

You would need the inky frame uf2 if you had an Inky Frame. For a Pico with an Inky Pack, you need the pico one (or, as I said, picow if you have a PicoW). This is all laid out in the [Installing Micropython](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/blob/main/setting-up-micropython.md) page in the docs there. ---

Thanks for the help, I managed to get the display up and running 😊 Now just need to work on some useful code 👍
