Step 1) Install Arduino IDE
Visit https://www.arduino.cc/en/software and install the latest Arduino IDE software for your computer
Step 2) Install Arduino Mbed OS RP2040 board to support Pico:
Open Arduino IDE ->Tools ->Board Manager
In search bar, search pico , you will find a board name “Arduino Mbed OS RP2040 board “, Click Install button to install the latest version for this board into IDE.
Step 3) Install RP2040_PWM library
Download the RP2040_PWM.zip file from https://osoyoo.com/download/RP2040_PWM.zip
Then Open Arduino IDE-> click Sketch->Include Library->Add .Zip Library->upload the RP2040_PWM.zip file to IDE
Step 4)Download and Run the Arduino Code:
Please download the code file from https://osoyoo.com/driver/pico_car/lesson2/picocar-lesson2.zip
Unzip the file and run the picocar-lesson2.ino sketch file through Arduino IDE, after you upload the code, please put the car to ground, turn on the power, then put the car on to a tracking line, make sure the line is between the two tracking sensor, your car will follow the tracking line and move forward.
