Getting Started with USB Serial Output on the Raspberry Pi Pico

This video covers how to use USB serial output on the Raspberry Pi Pico in your projects. We use a Visual Studio Code project to program the brand-new Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller board. We alter a basic blink LED program to now output the state of the LED over serial to a monitor on the windows machine using the printf function. We also explain how to configure the CMake configuration file to enable the USB serial output on the Pico.
