The Arduino version works in nearly the same way as the fundamentals of the CircuitPython version (without the HID and MIDI output). First, set up the Arduino IDE with the Earle Philhower core for use with Pico RP2040 as shown in this guide.
Then, copy the code below and paste it into a new Arduino document. Save it in your Arduino project folder, and then upload it to the Pico, using the settings shown in the guide linked above.
