Procyon

v1.0.1

Procyon is a lightweight programming language developed specifically for the Raspberry Pi Pico. It is designed for both beginners and advanced users, offering a simple and intuitive syntax for rapid development.

🌟 Features:

✅ Syntax highlighting
✅ Supports all Raspberry Pi Pico Models
✅ File icon support in the Explorer
✅ Lightweight and easy to use
✅ File extension: .pcy

🟠 Requirements:

Download the firmware files (procyon_core.mpy, config.txt, and main.py) from the GitHub repository (link below).
Install the MicroPico extension by Paulober in VS Code.
Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows).
Run the command:

MicroPico: Initialize MicroPico Project

Connect your Raspberry Pi Pico; its status will appear in the VS Code status bar.
Click Toggle Mpy FS in the status bar to open the Pico's file system (Mpy Remote Workspace).
Upload the downloaded firmware files (procyon_core.mpy, config.txt, and main.py) by dragging and dropping them into the Pico file system.

🟡 Usage:

1️⃣ In the Pico's Mpy Remote Workspace, create a new file with the .pcy extension (e.g., test.pcy).
2️⃣ Write your Procyon code inside the .pcy file and save it.
3️⃣ Open config.txt in the Pico's file system and enter the filename of the .pcy script you want to run (e.g., test.pcy).
4️⃣ Save and close config.txt.
5️⃣ Open main.py and click Run in the VS Code window to start executing your .pcy script. 6️⃣ You can have multiple .pcy files on the Pico. Update config.txt with the desired filename to switch scripts.
