# Pimoroni Pico Libraries and Examples Welcome to the brave new world of Pico! This repository contains the C/C++ and MicroPython libraries for our range of RP2040-based boards, Raspberry Pi Pico addons & [supported Breakout Garden sensors](#supported-breakouts).

If you're new to Pico, we recommend you read our [getting started with Pico](https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/getting-started-with-pico) tutorial. :warning: all of our MicroPython libraries are baked into a batteries-included, custom version of MicroPython which you can grab from releases: [https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/releases/latest/](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/releases/latest/) New releases are issued regularly with new libraries, bugfixes to our existing libraries and new features inherited from MicroPython upstream.
