Raspberry Pi Pico H won't connect

Post by jpromano47 »

I received my pico h yesterday, 12jul, order 28799200 pico h, connected as per web instructions via usb to Mac Studio Monterey 12.4 and also MacBook Air, older os and failed to show up in connected devices or in /dev. Think it is DOA. Need replacement?

Links of methods of connection and programming also I tried multiple usb microusb cables, all same result.

Are the USB cables known to be good? You can use them with something else and move data?

Are you holding the BOOTSEL button down while plugging in the board?

I finally found a micro usb cable that works! So all is well. Went ahead and installed Thonny on my Mac and was able to download hello.py script to pico and it worked.
