	=== Setting Up Your Machine ===		=== Setting Up Your Machine ===

			=== Connecting everything ===
			Depending on the Programmer you use, you will need to connect either 3 or 4 wires between the programmer and XESC.
			These wires are:
			- 3V3V (not mandatory, depends on the programmer used)
			- SWDIO -> the dataline
			- SWDCLK -> the clockline
			- GND

			Looking at the XESC from the top (USB on top) and with the usb port facing towards you, the pinout is as follows:
			3V3
			SWDIO
			GND
			SWDCLK
			RESET

			Note that we won't use the reset line.

			Compared to the STM32 version, flashing the RP2040 XESC is pretty simple:

			- Connect your XESC to your computer using the micro USB port
			XESC will then appear as a mass storage device.
			- Copy/Paste the firmware file to that new storage

			On the RP2040 version, ROS automatically loads the necessary config for the OPENMOWER motors, so you don't need to do anything else.

			Enjoy your flashed XESCs!
