From the screenshot I see that you have older Thonny, which doesn't know about Pico. The "MicroPython (generic)" back-end together with the port it's showing, should work, though. If you want newer Thonny, then you can `apt remove thonny` and install a Thonny+Python bundle with following command: b...

It seems as though Thonny does see this port but simply does not have the Raspberry Pi Pico in the interpreter list. See the attached image.

Very sorry for all the posts. So I decided to give a NodeMCU a try. Flashed just fine and I was able to connect to it perfectly from Thonny. I picked the ESP8266 interpreter and the serial port was in the drop down list. Not sure what's up with the Pico. I was able to program it just fine when I was...

Thank you for your reply. I've tried this with no success. I have logged out and back in to test. I have not completely rebooted and will give that a try to rule that out.

After following some very helpful guides on the web I have learned that this is some kind of permissions thing. I've been able to get access to the Pico via the REPL and...
