Reset yourself before you wreck your... USB cable and add an elegant, discreet reset button to your Raspberry Pi Pico. For every Captain Resetti sold, £1 goes to the Pi Foundation!
We're big fans of MicroPython but naturally, our dev pirates sometimes cannot resist the lure of the C. Using the C/C++ drag and drop method to program your Pico means putting it into bootloader mode every time you want to flash code to it, which means unplugging and re-plugging the USB cable whilst holding down the BOOTSEL button.
Captain Resetti (previously the scourge of the seven USB-Cs, now reformed) will help you avoid unnecessary wear and tear to your cables, your fingers and your patience! Solder the Cap'n in place between GND and RUN (that's physical pins 28 and 30) on your Pico and then, to enter bootloader mode you can:
hold down Resetti
hold down BOOTSEL
release Resetti
release BOOTSEL
Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A
To exit bootloader mode and run your code, all you need to do is tap the reset button (though politeness costs nothing, and we're sure they'd appreciate a quick 'Thank you, Cap'n!').
That's not all! For every Captain Resetti sold, we're sending a shiny £1 to the Raspberry Pi Foundation, to help them continue their excellent work delivering low cost, educational, maker-friendly devices into hands and hearts all over the world. Who knows, perhaps they can spend it on more buttons ;)

About Raspberry Pi Pico
Raspberry Pi Pico is a flexible, low cost microcontroller development board from the folks at Raspberry Pi, based on their very own chip - the RP2040. It's easily programmable over USB with C/C++ or MicroPython, and ideal for using in all sorts of physical computing projects, devices and inventions - we're so excited to see what you make with it!
We've called our Pico-sized add-ons packs, as they're designed to attach to the back of your Pico as if it were wearing a very stylish backpack (or a miniature jet pack, if you prefer). We've also got Pico bases (larger add-on boards with a space to mount your Pico on top) and some other boards that let you do interesting hackerly things like using multiple packs at once - click here to view them all!
