+ If this is your first time using Arduino, please read through our tutorial on [installing the Arduino IDE](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/installing-arduino-ide). If you have not installed an Arduino library before, we recommend you check out our [installation guide](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/installing-an-arduino-library).

+## Arduino-Pico Boards
+
+The SparkFun Pro Micro - RP2350 is supported on the Arduino IDE in the [Arduino-Pico](https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico) boards package. To install the package, open the Preferences menu by navigating to <b>File</b> > <b>Preferences</b>. Look at the bottom of the Preferences menu for "Additional boards manager URLS" and then copy this JSON link into that field:
+
+<code>
+ https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico/releases/download/global/package_rp2040_index.json
+</code>
+
+Click "OK" to close this menu then navigate to the Boards Manager tool and search for "pico" and download the latest release of "Raspberry Pi Pico" (4.0.1 or later).

+As of this writing, we're waiting on the next release of MicroPython to include UF2 files for the Pro Micro - RP2350 so to get users started before then, we have a Beta release of MicroPython firmware available [here](https://github.com/sparkfun/micropython-rp2350/releases). You can also go directly to the Beta 01 release by clicking the button below:

 </center>
 
 Once downloaded, put the Pro Micro - RP2350 into UF2 bootloader mode and open the location the board appeared as a USB storage device (it should appear as "RP2350"). Next, simply drag and drop the UF2 file into the RP2350 folder and the board should reboot. Next, open up your preferred MicroPython IDE (or command line interface) and you can start interacting with your Pro Micro. Read on to the MicroPython examples section for a few quick examples to make sure everything is working properly.
