I can’t get the right firmware onto the XRP. I tried pressing boot while plugging the pico into the computer using a usb c cable. The drive showed up as RP2350. I dragged over the uf2 file from here(Releases · sparkfun/micropython · GitHub). The usb drive disappeared and won’t come back.
My goal is to get it set up to program with blockly. Does anyone know why it won’t work? It feels like I’ve tried everything.
That is the correct behavior. Once the drive disappears and the XRP reboots, it will be running Micropython. You can now go to xrpcode.wpi.edu and press the connect button and select USB. that will connect and update you to the correct libraries. If you specifically need the 1.26 version of Micropython then you can cancel when it asks to update your micropython, and just let it update the XRPLib files. After the update it will reboot the XRP and you will be able to program in blockly.
After I copy over the uf2 file, how do I make it reboot?
I think I got it to work but I had to use a different uf2 file. I found one here: MicroPython - Python for microcontrollers
