Tank for all advices.
I've done all these tests:- I can program the pico. The connection to the IDE is ok.
- The alternate flashing of the two ED I could not watch. Thus, the boot loader could not be activated.
- I did the detection test of the button with "digitalRead (BTN1)". There was always only level "0", the test with "var iid = setInterval (function () {LED1.write (BTN1.read ());}, 100)" did not produce any result - the flashing of the LED did not change.
- I can program the pico. The connection to the IDE is ok.

Yes, I made this test in #7. During the plugin the intervall of blinking never changed (normal programmingmode). If I understand correctly, the LED should flash briefly to indicate that the bootloader is enabled and this has not happened.

Hi, Gordon,
thank you for your help. -
Here I give you the appropriate information.

In the datasheet of the STM32 page 35 I also found the double assignment of the pins. There are also boot0 and boot1 as well as C13 and B13 for BTN and BTN1. If I measure the voltages at b13 and c13, then one of them is inactive when pressing the button.
I suspect that might have something to do with the on-board version. The IDE recognizes the board with V1.3. If I look at the bottom of the board, then there is V1.4b. Maybe there are any changes.
If I connect the Pico to USB and keep BTN pressed, then the status of the LEDs will not change. -
I made the same procedure and i feel the detent 'click'. In #16 I wrote, there is a changing on Pin C13 from 0V to 3,3V, wenn I pressed the button. In this sense, the button must be ok.
DigitalRead(BTN1) <--no pressing the button
=0
digitalRead(BTN1) <--Here I pressed the button
=0Both worked for me. Worth a try. . . .
What are the differences between the two switches? Do you can explain that for me?
As @Gordon explained in #15 above, are you able to manually jumper the button and get the above digitalRead() to work? If so, are you able to flash that way?
When I manually jumper the button it's the same. No changes of the level.

Hi Robin,
that was a good advice for me with the blank line and also the tutorial with the buttons. I found that what I think. The button has no function for the µP.digitalRead(BTN) <--no pressing the button
=0
digitalRead(BTN) <--Here I pressed the button
=0
digitalRead(B4) <--no pressing the button
=0
digitalRead(B4) <--Here I pressed the button
=1The extension button works fine like in the tutorial but not the BTN. That's why I can not do the Update, but what is the cause?

many thanks for your patience with my problem.

I shorted the two contacs ab and then cd. No changes with the leds. Then I took my voltmeter. A=3,3V B=open. Then I pressed the button and B=3,3V. The same with cd. I think, the button must be ok. After that I controlled the voltage of the Pin (I think it's PC13) on the µP with is connected with the button =0V. If I pressed the button voltage=3,3V .
I made another test. I load a programm into to RAM and pressed the resetbutton. Nomally the code was lost, in this case not. I think, the button has no function. -
Hi Gordon,
If I press the button on the top of the pcb during plug in, nothing happens. The blinking led not changing. It's the same, when I insert the pico without pressing a button.
How can I insert a image in the post so that I can show you the messages. If I write a link to the image a picture is not to be seen.
I like to programm µC, make things with a little CNC-Machine and 3D-Print. Now I learn Theremin.
