Unfortunately, there is no example about how to control the display! We need to be able to turn individual pixels on and off and to control the brightness.

Connect an external LED and control via buttons.

Scroll letters and numbers via the buttons.

Control the LED by the buttons – Turn ON/OFF.

You can copy them from the web site, paste them into new code windows, save, execute and experiment: There are 4 very simple examples provided by Elecfreaks to get you started. After following the instructions playing with the examples we finished up with the file windows of Thonny looking like this (do not bother with creating and saving the Main.py file at the moment): The site explains how to download the zipped file and save the device driver program in the lib folder on your Pico:ed.

The edge connector has fewer physical pins as some will be needed to drive the buzzer on GP0 and the matrix display on GP18/GP19 via I2C with a chip address of 0x74. GP0 to GP3 and GP17 to GP25 are not brought out.The manufacturer provides some starter documentation on their website. Ability to enter, edit, save and execute MicroPython code using Thonny.Micro-USB cable for power and programming.Adding an SSD1306 display for more advanced output.Connecting potentiometers to control the display.Sensing distance with an external IR sensor and displaying the value graphically on the display.Learning how to control the individual pixels on the display.Showing text and numbers on the display.Updating the board by adding the device library.There is enough of memory provided with 256KB of SRAM and 2MB of Flash memory for quite large projects! This tutorial will cover This makes it an ideal starting board from those not interested in programming with blocks. The well supported RP2040 microprocessor can be programmed with the easy to learn and very popular MicroPython language using the free Thonny editor. The edge connector allows the user to interface, via alligator clips or an edge connector breakout board, with a wide variety sensors, displays, micro:bit add-ons and starter kits such as the Elecfreaks micro:bit Starter Kit or Kitronik Inventor’s kit.

The rear has a small speaker for tones and beeps, a boot button for updating the device with a newer UF2 file and a power socket for a battery pack allowing use away from the computer. The front of the board sports two buttons, an LED hidden in the dot of the ‘i’ in 'Pico', and a large, bright 7x17 dot matrix display.

The 'ed' part of the name stands for education. The Pico:ed is a development board based on Raspberry Pi RP2040 (the chip used on the Raspberry Pi Pico) but with the form factor of the very successful BBC micro:bit.
