Does anyone know of adevice, project or whatever for a simple device to "program" a PICO with micorpython.
To explain. I want to be able to update a pico device in-situ without needing a laptop PC or RPI/keyboard etc. I have a couple of old MicroChip PICKIt programmers that had this capability - you could compile the pic code load on to the PICKIT , take that to the device plug it in and press a button to flash the code to the target.
I am wanting a similar device , perhaps itself PICO based, that will hold a set of MP files and download them to the target PICO with a press of a button ( and a few flashes of an LED) in the same way Thonny does.
Thoughts, pointers and suggestions welcome
