Last week Raspberry PI released the RP2040 microcontroller with UF2 support. Anybody know if there are plans for RP2040 support in MakeCode? In the Raspberry PI forums the moderators didn’t know.

I would love to see support for the RP2040 (specifically the Raspberry Pi Pico) in MakeCode. It would be awesome for the educational content we’re producing at work.

I bet this will be a no-brainer to add due to the hugh expected audience and the number of derivates to be expected.
The question is probably more the WHEN than the WETHER or not.
Any divinations about the future MakeCode support of the Raspberry Pico by the @MakeCode team? 
Any updates on the support? Please share. Thanks.
The Pico/RP2040 seems to have appeared as beta on maker.makecode.com late September! You can find it a bit down on the main page under “Misc” boards.

Has anyone tried it?

Currently, I do not see the UART support to the board.

I’ve been playing with the RP2040 Makecode coding,and can make it blink Morse code through LEDs. https://makecode.com/_cjfPDwUHuCjx
I wish it did a simulator - but I haven’t figured out how to do a push-button for input. Has anyone figured that out? Thanks!

I got a button to work. Here’s the code:
Usually you would check if digital read is 1 or 0, but I guess True and False are used instead.

Super! Thank you so much! That makes things easier! I could use an input for my simple “autopilot” program that I wrote to use HID to control a video game.

I have given it a go it works fine so far. I added oled screen, LED and buttons.
