Pico Tuner Rpi Pico Programming

Post by G1BVI » Tue Jun 17, 2025 5:39 pm

Hi All

The instructions are clear at https://wiki.batc.org.uk/Surface_mount_ ... ner_V2_PCB

Download the uf2 file.

Plug in the stand alone Rpi pico and copy the file to it.

It loads but DOES NOT reboot as described.

It does however show in device manager in Win 11 under other devices as

BATC picoTuner i2c
BATC PicoTuner TS

Both have an explanation mark as there are no drivers for the board and also the Rpi Pico is no longer seen as an USB device.
Tried 2 boards direct from Pi Hut before going near a soldering iron and clearly there is a problem.

What drivers are missing on the Win 11 m/c in order that these boards are recognised or is this normal with the latest uf2 (v 0.12)

TIA

Suspect you broke your system with Zadig and then fixed it again.

The instructions for loading the drivers on Windows are included in the GitHub readme document.
