Pin Modes

If you look at the Pico W pin-out diagram, you will see that a GPIO pin may be configured to operate in one of several operational modes.

No matter the mode, when using Telemetrix, you must first explicitly set the mode by calling one of the set_pin_mode_XXX methods for the pin. For output modes, if you try to perform a write operation and have not first set the pin's mode, a RunTimeError exception is thrown.

Below, a call to digital_write for pin 5 was made before set_pin_mode_digital_output was called:
