Troubleshooting • Re: PicoW: Code refused to work

are you really running MicroPython from Thonny, or the local Python interpreter?

Hi, thanks for answering. And, quite honestly, for making you spend time here. The problem has been solved.

I am indeed running MicroPython, I made sure of that. When clicking ctrl D, it tells me that it is running Micropython:
The problem was the firmware. I apparently was installing an incorrect version of it, one which was not up to the task for the network library that I was using. I used this firmware, taken in turn from the Raspberry Pi's documentation website.

What I think that happened is the following: after storing the code as "main.py", I accidentally blocked the Pico from being recognizable by Thonny. Then I used a file that deleted everything from the Pico, including the firmware. And then I installed the wrong firmware.

So the fix is having the most recent firmware available

Again, sorry for making you spend your time here. Thanks for answering,
