+From Thonny, I am going to start our traffic light code with the new breakout code block. Please bear in mind that in this example I am NOT using a Pico W variant.

+<color #ed1c24>*** IMPORTANT ***</color>
+\\
+First thing I need to do, because we want this code to run at Pico boot, is to save the file as <color #ed1c24>main.py</color>. The Pico understands that a file called main.py is to be run at boot.
+\\
+\\
+Please watch the video below to see this code in operation.

+When the start button is pressed (so when the Pico boots) we see the Pico Onboard LED flashing for 20 seconds. Then, the traffic light sequence will start. In the output window we can see the message <color #ed1c24>booting... Press ctrl-c to stop</color>.
