>From my investigations, it seems that all the pins should work similarly but there seems an issue. As it's on two different Pi Picos, it looks generic. I threw it out there to see what others experience is but haven't heard anything back yet.
Sometime - possibly at the weekend, I'll put a 1K resistor and an LED on pin 16 since that's coded for use also. It will be very interesting if pin 14 and pin 16 agree but disagree with the onboard pin 25 LED. It will be even more interesting if pins 14 and 16 disagree and stunning if pin 25 is different again.
When I'm at work, during my break I am working on a different project using an Adafruit Arduino Metro. That's coded in C++. This will use 4 of the onboard ADCs - assuming they're better than the somewhat laughable Pi Pico ADC to read the inputs from 4 CDS cells. The result will be output via TIP120s to power two electric motors with reduction gearing. The aim is to track the sun perfectly so that a magnifying glass can track the sun, focussed on a 1 cent coin. I want to see if I can melt the coin by the power of the sun.
