When building the examples, you will need to specify the board configuration so that the examples use the correct pins. You can do this by creating a new build directory and then specifying the board definition when using cmake:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecmake -D\"PICO_BOARD=vgaboard\" ..\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are more details on how to build applications with custom board configurations in Appendix D \/ page 267 of the C\/C++ SDK documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePinout\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Pimoroni Pico Demo Base Pinout\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0176\/3274\/files\/vgademobase_480x480_20f1565e-57d4-4508-a712-414695ba8a35.png?v=1618425312\u0026amp;width=700\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pimoroni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54158650933566,"sku":"ebl1787258159712","price":14.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/4119\/4302\/files\/pimoroni-pico-vga-demo-base_1.jpg?v=1787258164","url":"https:\/\/poshstylefashion.shop\/products\/pimoroni-pico-vga-demo-base","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
