7. Kullanım Talimatları

7.1 Programlama Ortamı

The development boards support programming in C/C++, MicroPython, and Arduino. Comprehensive SDKs, development resources, and tutorials are available to help you get started.

Important: HDMI (DVI) and USB functions can only be realized in a C language environment and can only be used separately (not simultaneously).

7.2 Uploading Programs

1. Connect the board to your computer via the Native USB Type-C port.
2. Press and hold the BOOT button, then press the RUN button (reset). Release the BOOT button. The board will enter USB mass storage mode.
3. Drag and drop your compiled program file (e.g., .uf2 for MicroPython) onto the detected USB drive. The board will automatically reboot and run the new program.

7.3 Temel İşlemler

• Reset: Press the RUN button to reset the board and restart the current program.
• Low-Power Modes: Utilize the low-power sleep and dormant modes in your code to conserve energy for battery-powered applications.

8. Bakım

• Keep the board in a dry, static-free environment.
• Devre kartını aşırı sıcaklık veya nem değişimlerine maruz bırakmaktan kaçının.
• Clean the board gently with a soft, dry cloth if necessary. Do not use liquids or solvents.
• Ensure proper ventilation when the board is in operation, especially if enclosed.

9. Sorun Giderme

• Board not recognized by computer:
  • Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the board's Native USB Type-C port and the computer.
  • Try a different USB cable or port on your computer.
  • Verify the board is in bootloader mode (press BOOT, then RUN, then release BOOT).
• Program not running after upload:
  • Check your code for errors.
  • Ensure the correct firmware (e.g., MicroPython .uf2 file) is being uploaded.
  • Perform a hard reset by pressing the RUN button.
• No display output via DVI:
  • Confirm the DVI interface is correctly connected to a DVI monitor using an HDMI to DVI cable.
  • Ensure your program is configured to output to the DVI interface and is written in C language, as this functionality is C-specific.
  • Check the monitor's input source selection.
• PIO-USB device not working:
  • Verify your code correctly initializes and manages the PIO-USB interface.
  • Ensure the connected USB device is compatible and drawing appropriate power.
  • Remember that USB functions are typically C-language specific and may not operate simultaneously with DVI.

10. Kullanıcı İpuçları

• When working with the RP2350-PiZero, be aware that users have inquired about the chip revision (e.g., A4). While not always critical for basic use, advanced users might want to verify this for specific compatibility or performance expectations.
• For complex projects involving DVI or advanced USB peripherals, prioritize development in C/C++ to leverage the full capabilities of the board's hardware.
• The Micro SD card slot is excellent for expanding storage for data logging, larger programs, or asset storage for display applications.
• Experiment with the PIO state machines for custom peripheral emulation or high-speed bit-banging, which can be very powerful for unique applications.

11. Sıkça Sorulan Sorular (SSS)

Q: What operating system is compatible with these boards?

A: These are microcontroller development boards, not single-board computers like a Raspberry Pi Zero. They do not run a full operating system like Linux. You program them directly using firmware developed in C/C++, MicroPython, or Arduino environments.

Q: Can I only use Python scripts for everything?

A: No, you can program these boards using C/C++, MicroPython, or Arduino. While MicroPython allows for Python scripting, C/C++ offers more direct hardware control and is necessary for certain advanced features like DVI and some USB functionalities.

Q: Can I connect a 4G dongle or a thermal camera to it?

A: The board features a PIO-USB interface that can act as a USB host. Theoretically, you might be able to connect certain USB devices like a 4G dongle or a thermal camera, provided you write the necessary drivers and firmware in C/C++ to support them. Compatibility will depend heavily on the specific device and your programming expertise. It's not a plug-and-play feature like on a full-fledged computer.
