Hi - New here!
Looking to make a RC plane. I want to program the FC in python on a regular microcontroller. Something like a Raspberry Pico. Is there a way to make a Raspberry Pico read what a RP1 receives and how do I?
Please let me know, if I need some more details:)

A typical flight controller firmware runs on a microcontroller. Have a look at one of the open-source flight controller software projects on GitHub (ArduPilot, PX4, iNav, BetaFlight and so on) as all the code you are looking for is there for grabs. Although mostly C/C++ is used, so you would need to convert yourself to Python, if the final code needs to be in that language.

Even simpler might be to have a look at a ELRS Rx to USB joystick dongle project, also targeting RP2040: https://github.com/pfeerick/USB_ELRS_Receiver?tab=readme-ov-file#xiao-rp2040
