Hey @Frank196078,
If you have found the python files inside of the ~\CE-Makerverse-Plant_io-main\code
folder it should be straight forward from here to get these files onto your pico.
- Open any of those python files in Thonny (I used
Plant_io.py
) - You should see the current contents of your Pico as well as a local system folder on the left of the screen. (If you can’t see this window click on ‘View’ in the top menu bar and click on ‘Files’ in the dropdown.)
- Inside the ‘Files’ box, navigate to the
~\CE-Makerverse-Plant_io-main\code
folder by clicking on the blue text to step back out of the current directory and the ‘+’/‘-’ folder symbols to step forward through your local directory. At the end of this, you should be able to see all of those Python files in this window like in my screenshot.
- Right-click on the
plant_io.py
file and select the ‘Upload to /’ option to move it onto the Pico. You should see confirmation of this when the file name appears under the ‘Raspberry Pi Pico’ section. I suggest repeating this step for all of the Python files in the~\CE-Makerverse-Plant_io-main\code
folder you intend to use so you don’t have to do this again later.
- Once your files have been moved over you should be able to run this project on your Pico. I would suggest moving over at least
Plant_io.py
andautomatic_watering.py
. Double-clicking on the copy ofautomatic_watering.py
in the pico directory will open it up in Thonny and allow you to run it. - If you want this file to run automatically whenever the Pico is booted you can rename
automatic_watering.py
tomain.py
. My Thonny window after this process looks like this.
If you get stuck with these steps, let us know where and we can give you a hand!
