Pico Software Problem with digitalPulse

Some tutorial had mentioned save() so I tried it, and it worked. But that saved program was what was conflicting with doing some, but not all, other things, as you suggested.

So far the only way I can think of to reset the Pico is to brute force reset() then save(). My guess is there should be a better way, so I have to just look for it.

Now the IDE tutorial and the Pico Buttons tutorial both work exactly as they should. I am happy to find out that it was operator error and nothing wrong with the hardware.

Thank you again for your help.
