Recently snagged a few Pico clone boards (YD-RP2040). When I plug them in, they immediately show up as storage devices waiting for a firmware file. I tried the official Pico firmware and it doesn't seem to work. The device disconnects from Windows but never restarts. It does show up as a COM device but when trying to push a sketch to it, it fails when a general "exit code 1". Tried a few others and after some googling I can only seem to get the CircuitPython one to work, but I seem to have problems with my code working on that.
Any advice? The VCC-GND website for these is apparently down, so I can't grab any firmware from there even if they had any.
EDIT: Thonny seems to work with running code right then and there (can blink the LED and such) but it doesn't seem like it sends sketches to the board to work while unplugged? This could be me misunderstanding how everything works. I'm testing a project with encoders, and with my UNO I can read the output of my encoders with the serial monitor in Arduino IDE. I'm trying to do the same with the Pico clone, but it fails to send any code over after compiling with a generic error.
