Pi Pico PIO Example does nothing

[zoggins]

I have done everything that I think is correct, but there is just no data coming out of the serial port. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I haven't used this for a long time.
Did you follow these steps ?

[zoggins]

Yes. I have done those instructions on multiple Picos and multiple computers and the device never shows up when i hit scan. The Pico seems to be a some stuck state because the Arduino UI can't even force it to programming mode, I have to manually reboot the board to program it again. I have also tried with the testData function and real signals, all the same result.

Its no big deal I will either debug it myself or try something else.

It appears its something with the serial output. I can hit it directly with a terminal for a little bit and then the serial communication will lock up.

Did you try to reduce the Serial speed ?
