General • Re: Pico W output

We can see that output using (say) PuTTY on the PC

That is key; using a terminal emulator rather than Thonny.

Thonny interacts with the Pico whenever it is launched which terminates any 'main.py' which may be running, requires a Ctrl-D to get that running again.

That can however be avoided -

• Switch to regular mode if using simple GUI mode

• Go into the 'Tools' -> 'Options...' menu

• Select the 'Interpreter' tab and there is a list of options at the bottom

• Click to remove the cross for 'Interrupt working program on connect', click the 'OK' button

Use Ctrl-D to start 'main.py' running. Close Thonny. Next time Thonny starts it should show what 'main.py' is producing in the Shell window.
