What is a Raspberry Pi Pico\/Pico W?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Raspberry<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The Raspberry Pi Pico is a series of low-cost microcontroller boards developed around the RP2040 and RP2350 chips. These chips were developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, the same that developed other popular Raspberry Pi boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike previous versions of the Raspberry Pi, the Raspberry Pi Pico is not meant to run an operating system. It is a microcontroller board whose main purpose is to control electronic components through its GPIOs, create automations, and IoT applications\u2014it is completely different from a “regular” Raspberry Pi.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"What<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The Raspberry Pi Pico boards are easy to use<\/strong>, and incredibly affordable<\/strong>, available from approximately $6, which makes them widely available to the general public and an excellent tool for teaching electronics and programming concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other boards with the RP2040 and RP2350 chips should also be compatible with the subjects covered throughout the eBook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommended Board<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We recommend getting a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W<\/strong> (or the older version\u2014Raspberry Pi Pico W). The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W is a wireless-enabled version of the Raspberry Pi Pico 2. It comes with an Infineon CYW43439 wireless chip that adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support. If you already have a Raspberry Pi Pico (without wireless support), you can still follow along, but you won’t be able to follow the units that require Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.<\/p>\n\n\n

What is MicroPython?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Currently, MicroPython is the most popular way to program the Raspberry Pi Pico and that\u2019s what we\u2019ll focus on in this eBook. MicroPython is a re-implementation of Python 3 programming language targeted to microcontrollers and embedded systems like the Raspberry Pi Pico, ESP32, ESP8266, and other boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MicroPython is very similar to regular Python but is specially crafted for small devices like microcontrollers. It’s like a lightweight version of Python that’s just right for smaller gadgets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s inside the eBook?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Learn Raspberry Pi Pico with Micropython <\/em>eBook is a colorful 600-page long PDF with 13 Modules<\/strong> covering almost everything you need to know to start mastering the Raspberry Pi Pico board with MicroPython programming language. It includes multiple examples with all the source code, schematics, and screenshots that are easy to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n
