Can this work with Circuitpython #128

Feature Request 🚀

I tried using with a Pico running Circuitpython but was not able to connect. The message was No COM device found. Please check your connection or ports and try again. Is it possible to use this with Circuitpython or did I do something wrong?

The detection discrepancy arises due to distinct CNC product IDs between Pico boards using CircuitPython and MicroPython. The extension's functionality relies on specific Pico modules and ASCII commands within the REPL. Presently, the extension exclusively offers MicroPython stubs. Thus, substantial effort is required to enable compatibility with CircuitPython boards. I will assess the timeframe necessary for this implementation and see if this is something I would be able to add to the extension's functionality.
