By firmware I meant the Micropython UF2 file for Pico boards. Out of the box it shows up as a removable device as scruss mentioned in his comment. As far as the other issues, you're definitely right. I jumped headfirst into working on this without doing the proper research and testing. I was still getting caught up on where exactly to start, though, as I couldn't upload code with Arduino IDE.It seems to be working as expected. Not sure what this "official Pico firmware" is but it's not uncommon to have to put a Pico into BOOTSEL mode to upload Arduino code.
Your other issues seem to to be lack of familiarity of the programming languages or tools used, not issues with the RP2040 board itself.
This actually worked! Dumb thing is I read through that thread, and since it wasn't explicitly talking about the Touch Reset in my error, I just ignored it. I feel like maybe more people would be talking about it if it's a feature that's needed that Micropython doesn't implement in their UF2 file. Every beginner guide tells you to go to the Micropython website and snag the matching file for your board, so I feel like there'd be more people with my exact issue. Maybe my search terms were just flawed...Download PicoBlink_uf2.zip, unzip it, and drag the PicoBlink.ino.uf2 file to the RPI-RP2 drive. It should upload and the drive will disappear: this is normal. The LED on your board may or may not be flashing. Arduino sketches should probably upload now, though.
Either way, thanks a million!
