Pico / ESP8266 newbie (idiot?) question !

Hey guys.

Was having a similar problem. After I shortened a few wires and moved the 1117 right in close to the Pico would it start returning anything of value. (on a bread board)

My mfg says its 9200 but only 115200 would not return gibberish. But my pico only works on every other try... sometime with the need of a reset(). (code run from the right side of the console). The following is where I am getting stuck...... don't know where the sdcard bit is coming from??

ERROR: SD card must be setup with E.connectSDCard first
