Hello,  
I have a Raspberry Pi Pico W and a SparkFun Digital Temperature Sensor Breakout AS6212 (Qwiic)  
First, I have installed Sparkfun MicroPyton version Qwiic\_Py-main by dragging it to my Pico W:

> **[GitHub - sparkfun/Qwiic\_Py: Python package for the qwiic system.](https://github.com/sparkfun/Qwiic_Py)**
>
> Python package for the qwiic system. . Contribute to sparkfun/Qwiic\_Py development by creating an account on GitHub.

Then I looked up Qwiic\_AS6212\_Py in Thonny and installed this.

> **[GitHub - sparkfun/Qwiic\_AS6212\_Py: Python package for the AMS AS6212 Digital...](https://github.com/sparkfun/Qwiic_AS6212_Py)**
>
> Python package for the AMS AS6212 Digital Temperature Sensor. - GitHub - sparkfun/Qwiic\_AS6212\_Py: Python package for the AMS AS6212 Digital Temperature Sensor.

Are there additional packages for the Pico W that I need to use the Temperature Sensor AS621?  
Grateful for help.

That’s not going to work. You want **Micro** Python or **Circuit** Python, not regular Python. That would work on a Raspberry Pi, but the PICO is a Micro controller that needs Micro Python, etc.

Not finding any Micro Python libraries in my searches. That’s a bummer.
