MPRemote

Install mpremote and you are able to send code direct to the Pico and run it

apt install mpremote mpremote fs cp main.py : mpremote run main.py

An Exmaple main.py is below. This is the beginner LED Blink circuit. For a Pi - PicoW 2 its good to use "LED" as the default onboard LED

vi main.py

from machine import Pin
import time

# Initialize the onboard LED pin (GPIO 25)
led = Pin("LED", Pin.OUT)

print("Pico 2 testing started! Press Ctrl+C in the shell to stop.")

# Run an infinite loop to blink the LED
while True:
    led.value(1)       # Turn the LED on
    time.sleep(0.5)    # Wait 0.5 seconds
    led.value(0)       # Turn the LED off
    time.sleep(0.5)    # Wait 0.5 seconds

To add more complex work you create the main.py or libs and

mpremote fs cp main.py :

The new file or script
