Thonny always report:
WARNING: Could not sync device’s clock: can’t import name RTC
WARNING: Could not validate time: can’t import name RTC
MicroPython v1.14 on 2021-02-05; Raspberry Pi Pico with RP2040
Blink works.
Pico Display just lights big white LED.
Any suggestions
The RGB LED on the Display always starts up ON with power-up. It is set up with PWM and low values give bright output. Rather confusing! You get used to it.
There is no built in Real Time Clock on the Pico.
