Take your first steps with the Raspberry Pi Pico and take on exciting projects using CircuitPython, MicroPython, and Pico

Key Features:

Make the most of the Raspberry Pi Pico-a low-cost microcontroller that is primed for innovationWork with easy-to-follow examples and learn how to interface and program a Raspberry Pi PicoWork on fun projects, right from home automation to building a seven-segment display to tracking air quality

Book Description:

The Raspberry Pi Pico is the latest addition to the Raspberry Pi family of products. Introduced by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, based on their RP2040 chip, it is a tiny, fast microcontroller that packs enough punch to power an extensive range of applications. Raspberry Pi Pico DIY Workshop will help you get started with your own Pico and leverage its features to develop innovative products.

This book begins with an introduction to the Raspberry Pi Pico, giving you a thorough understanding of the RP2040’s peripherals and different development boards for the Pico designed and manufactured by various organizations. You’ll explore add-on hardware and programming language options available for the Pico. Next, you’ll focus on practical skills, starting with a simple LED blinking project and building up to a giant seven-segment display, while working with application examples such as citizen science displays, digital health, and robots. You’ll also work on exciting projects around gardening, building a weather station, tracking air quality, hacking your personal health, and building a robot, along with discovering tips and tricks to give you the confidence needed to make the best use of RP2040.

By the end of this Raspberry Pi book, you’ll have built a solid foundation in product development using the RP2040, acquired a skillset crucial for embedded device development, and have a robot that you built yourself.

What You Will Learn:

Understand the RP2040’s peripherals and apply them in the real worldFind out about the programming languages that can be used to program the RP2040Delve into the applications of serial interfaces available on the PicoDiscover add-on hardware available for the RP2040Explore different development board variants for the Raspberry Pi PicoDiscover tips and tricks for seamless product development with the Pico
