Micropython is usually programmed with thonny or VScode using a plugin.
c/cpp is usually programmed with SDK or arduino.
For micropython:
Usually the RUN pin (aka reset) can be pulled low with a button to reset the Pico. Which allows thonny or VScode to connect.
Sometimes a micropython application, started by main.py, runs into a state again which does not respond to external stimulus from thonny.
In my projects, I use a spare GPIO pin to terminate the code immediately after being started.

Code:
import machineimport sysled = machine.Pin("LED", machine.Pin.OUT)pin = machine.Pin(16, machine.Pin.IN, machine.Pin.PULL_UP)if pin.value() == 0: led.on() print("pin 16 low, do not start") sys.exit(1)# other codeStatistics: Posted by ghp — Sat Jan 11, 2025 7:49 pm
