I know that there is a USB soundcard app on the Pico Playgrounds. But being new to all things PI and needing a lot of hand holding how do I use this app?
I presume that I don’t use MicroPython, but something else? Where do i start? Thanks JB
The Pico Playground examples are written in C, so you’ll need to compile and build them to produce a uf2 file that you can run on your Pico.
The official Getting Started guide is probably your best starting point for that: https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/pico/getting-started-with-pico.pdf
If you’re developing on Windows, I found using WSL a bunch easier than getting the tool chain set up on Windows natively: Pico C/C++ Development Using Windows

I take it I will need to use Windows Pro or enterprise as I dont think I can create VMs on Windows Home :( Thanks for these links though :)
Ohhh perhaps not, Install WSL | Microsoft Docs
You must be running Windows 10 version 2004 and higher (Build 19041 and higher) or Windows 11.
Thanks to the instructions with the Pico C for windows. But when I try to create the Soundcard app in Pico-Playgrounds ni get
CMake Error at pico_sdk_import.cmake:63 (message):
Directory ‘/home/babydalek/pico-sdk’ not found
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:4 (include)
I am pretty sure that I have set the path to the pico-sdk, am I missing something obvious
An of course there are instructions to help with this error so wil try that first
I for the life of me cannot get the pico playground code to compile. I keep getting issues with build.ninja. Any ideas?
