In this post, I test the USBTMC and SCPI compliant instrument I developed for the Pico.I use the same LabVIEW driver I made a few years ago for Project14: PiFace, Raspberry, LabVIEW and LEDs .
For an explanation of the co...
In this post, I test the USBTMC and SCPI compliant instrument I developed for the Pico.I use a PyVISA script to check if the instrument is connected. Then the outputs are switched and validated.
The test scenario:

In this post, I add a new SCPI query to the USBTMC and SCPI compliant instrument I developed for the Pico.In the previous post, the device could switch outputs (or relays, ...) on or off with a SCPI command.I'm now adding a SCPI command to r...
There's a standard profile for USB test and measurement devices, called USBTMC. If your instrument supports it, it becomes a plug-and-play device for the likes of LabVIEW. The Raspberry Pico examples come with a set of TinyUSB profile e...

The RP2040 SoC is a powerful, low-cost microcontroller with a dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ processor, 264 kB of embedded SRAM, and 30 GPIO pins. Learn why it's the perfect choice for the Raspberry Pi Pico and endpoint AI-based applications.
In this post, 1 CMake topic:
how to enable c++ Exception Handling and RTTI (Run-Time Type Information)
Both c++ constructs come with a cost, the biggest being that they requires more memory. In most microcontroller configuration...

how to set the c/c++ standard (e.g.: the new c++20 standard) for the IntelliSense extension
how make IntelliSense find the right includes for the Pico and the c SDK
how to tell IntelliS...
In this post, 2 CMake topics:
when using VSCode, how do you build a debug or release binary
how to set the c/c++ standard (e.g.: the new c++20 standard)?
