   Can you scope it to see if the module is actually sending a pulse?   
      
   Is the pulse perhaps too short for the Pico to detect?  eg if the loop or   
   gpio_get() function took some time, it could be the signal goes 0-1-0 in the   
   middle of a loop iteration and so the gpio_get() never sees it go 1.
