Raspberry Pi Pico W first power up and install MicroPython firmware

This video show first power up Raspberry Pi Pico W and install MicroPython firmware on it.

To download MicroPython firmware (in UF2 form) for Raspberry Pi Pico W, visit:
https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/micropython.html#drag-and-drop-micropython

or from MicroPython page here: https://micropython.org/download/rp2-pico-w/

New Pico W come with empty Flash memory, and boot up in BOOTSEL mode. So I can drag-and-drop the MicroPython UF2 file to Pico W directly.

If your Pico W is not in BOOTSEL mode, you can hold down the BOOTSEL button when you plug in your Pico, it will appear as a drive onto which you can drag a new UF2 file.

or, you can restore factory flash memory with flash_nuke.uf2 HERE.

Exercise of MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico W:
~ connect to WiFi network and synchronize to NTP Time Server

boochow/MicroPython-ST7735 is a modified version of GuyCarver's ST7735.py ST7735 TFT LCD driver , for micropython-esp32. This video show steps to prepare boochow/MicroPython-ST7735 driver and font files. Tested on  Espressif ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 running MicroPython v1.19.1, to display on  1.8 inch 128x160 ST7735 SPI TFT .
