How To Use FreeRTOS on the Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040) Part 1: VSCode Setup and Blinky Test!

FreeRTOS is an open source Real Time OS available for a wide range of microcontrollers and this video serves as an introduction or starting point to a longer series on using FreeRTOS on RP2040 based boards such as the Raspberry Pi Pico and we are going to show you how to set up VSCode in order to compile and use FreeRTOS in your projects. By the end of this tutorial you will have a blink LED project which will flash the LED on the Raspberry Pi Pico on and off. The written version of this tutorial and the code used is available: Template Project Repo: In this tutorial we create a simple “blinky“ program where a Raspberry Pi Pico toggles its onboard LED on and off using FreeRTOS.
