Support Pi Pico / RP2040 Microcontrollers

[alijani1]

Does not seem the library support the RP2040 controllers like the Pi Pico.

Hi
If you let me know some more details on what IDE you use for Pi Pico, what BSP is used, that would be very helpful

I have also been trying to use this library with a Pico, using Mbed OS (tried with both version 2.5.2 and version 3.4.1). When attempting to upload through Arduino IDE 1.8.13 on Debian (specifically Raspbian) Linux, I get this error:

Hi. I prefer PlatformIO with VS Code but Arduino IDE would also be fine.

In platformio.ini, my projects typically use the following but I prefer to change the last line :) :

[env:pico]
platform = https://github.com/maxgerhardt/platform-raspberrypi.git
board = pico
framework = arduino
board_build.core = earlephilhower

upload_protocol = picotool
upload_port=D:

lib_archive = no

build_flags =
-D USE_TINYUSB

lib_deps =
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_SSD1306
