Push button with Raspberry Pi Pico 2

Wiring for the Push button on the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 (RP2350, 3.3 V logic), chosen with the same pin rules BoardPilot uses: default buses first, and no pins that are used for flash, USB, the debugger or booting.

Wiring

Push button pin	Role	Raspberry Pi Pico 2 pin	Notes
1	Output from the part	GP15	To a GPIO; use INPUT_PULLUP in code
2	Ground	GND

Check before you power it on

Test code (Arduino)

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  pinMode(15, INPUT_PULLUP);  // pressed = LOW
}

void loop() {
  Serial.println(digitalRead(15) == LOW ? "pressed" : "released");
  delay(100);
}

Arduino board: rp2040:rp2040:rpipico2. If the board is not found, hold the BOOTSEL button while plugging in the USB cable.

Questions

Which Raspberry Pi Pico 2 pins do I use for the Push button?

1 → GP15, 2 → GND.

Does the Push button work with the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 at 3.3 V?

Yes: the Push button runs at 3.3 V and the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 uses 3.3 V signals, so no level shifting is needed.

BoardPilot checks this wiring in 3D as you build it, and finds crossed or missing wires on the real board.
