1 year ago Hello, It doesn't matter how long you hold down the BOOTSEL button, as long it is held down when the Pico W is plugged into the computer.
If the drive shows up as something like RPI-RP2, that means it worked, then you can drag the .uf2 file onto the drive.
Make sure you put the correct wifi credentials (SSID, password) of the network you are trying to connect to in creds.py, and followed the usage & installation instructions correctly.
If the Pico W is connected to your network, you will need to search for its IP using something like nmap <your_local_ip>/24 -p 80 to look for an open HTTP port on your network, then you can paste the IP that comes up into your browser to access the web server.
If the issue persists,
please open and run code.py in Thonny, and screenshot/send the error it gives when it tried to connect. If there's no error it should print the IP it is hosted on.

I am new to raspberry pi stuff so I have few doubts how long should we hold the reset butten? I actually holded it when connecting it then it copied that adafruit-circuitpython-raspberry_pi_pico_w-en_US-8.0.0-beta.4.uf2 file and pasted it in the drive it reconnected with a new name and with few files an I replaced the same but still the wifi is not showing.
