Pins to avoid or use with care

Debug port: SWCLK, SWDIO

SWD/JTAG. Using them can stop a debugger from reaching the chip.

Good pins for LEDs, buttons and signals

GP15, GP14, GP13, GP12, GP11, GP10, GP22, GP21, GP20, GP6, GP7, GP2, GP3

Default pins in Arduino

I2C
SDA = GP4, SCL = GP5. Only these pins work with the Wire library defaults. Only certain pin pairs can be I2C on this chip, and SDA and SCL cannot be swapped in software. Wire uses GP4 (SDA) and GP5 (SCL); Wire.setSDA()/Wire.setSCL() before Wire.begin() can move I2C0 to GP0/GP1, GP8/GP9, GP12/GP13, GP16/GP17 or GP20/GP21. Wire1 defaults to GP26/GP27.
SPI
MOSI = GP19, MISO = GP16, SCK = GP18, CS = GP17.
Analog inputs
GP26, GP27, GP28 (0–3.3 V)
5 V tolerant pins
GP0, GP1, GP2, GP3, GP4, GP5, GP6, GP7, GP8, GP9, GP10, GP11, GP12, GP13, GP14, GP15, GP16, GP17, GP18, GP19, GP20, GP21, GP22

How to flash it

If the board is not found, hold the BOOTSEL button while plugging in the USB cable.
