55,112 views Jan 12, 2022 FreeRTOS is an open source Real Time OS available for a wide range of microcontrollers and this video serves as an introduction or starting point to a longer series on using FreeRTOS on RP2040 based boards such as the Raspberry Pi Pico and we are going to show you how to set up VSCode in order to compile and use FreeRTOS in your projects. By the end of this tutorial you will have a blink LED project which will flash the LED on the Raspberry Pi Pico on and off.
