The Raspberry Pi Pico is the first microcontroller produced by the Raspberry Pi Foundations, and they even designed the MCU for it. It has a wealth of features and a budget-friendly 4-dollar price tag.
With all of the hype around the Pico since its announcement a few weeks ago I wanted to actually DO something with it. So I decided to hook up a few simple I/O devices to it and see how to code for them using MicroPython.
I did all the coding on the Thonny IDE, and to keep things in the family I used a Raspberry Pi 4 as my host computer. You can also use Thonny and the Pico with Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X workstations as well, but it’s already installed and ready to go with the latest Raspberry Pi Operating System release.
All of these are basic I/O experiments with very simple code, but they each illustrate a useful technique that can be applied to other I/O devices. Plus, if you’re not familiar with MicroPython, it will help you ease into it, as all of the code is very elementary.
For those of you who are put off by the need to solder your own Pico pins fear not, I’ll show you just how easy it is. I'll even give my Pico a bath after I finish soldering it!
Here is what you will see in today's detailed look at the Raspberry Pi Pico:
00:00 - Introduction
03:17 - Raspberry Pi Pico
12:02 - Pico Soldering
19:15 - Set up Thonny IDE
23:36 - LEDs and Switches Intro & Hookup
26:12 - RGB Blink Demo
28:55 - Switch Test
31:36 - Interrupts & Toggle Demo
36:09 - LED & Switch Demo
37:42 - Analog Input Intro & Hookup
38:59 - Analog Input Demo
42:32 - LED PWM Demo
44:26 - OLED Display Intro & Hookup
45:49 - Display Demo
49:13 - Motor & H-Bridge Intro & Hookup
51:21 - Motor Demo
54:37 - The Everything Demo
58:05 - Running Programs at Boot-up
1:00:42 - Conclusion
It will be interesting to see what the future holds for this cute little microcontroller. It has some very nice design features but it also faces a lot of competition from devices like the Seeeduino XIAO, Arduino 33 IoT series, and, of course, the ESP32 boards.
But as I just received a big bag of Pico accessories, with more on the way, you're sure to see the Pico here in the workshop again very soon!
Hope you enjoy the video, if you want to discuss it in detail there is a dedicated thread on the forum at forum.dronebotworkshop.com/20...

This video represents the extreme quality difference of new product reviews and demos. While 'everyone else' is showing the pico with just the basic blink sketch example, Bill takes it to a whole other level of excellence in performance showcased with in depth demonstrations. Thank you!

@ianbertenshaw4350 3 года назад

Up until now the humble Arduino has served me well with the projects I wanted to build but after watching this tutorial I think the pico will be the first pick for my future projects provided there are libraries for the sensors etc that I want to use - i think there will be tidal wave of development in this regard over the next year or so . I don’t know if it is just me but micropython seems to be so much simpler to use than C++ and if I never see another curly brace again it will be too soon ! Definitely the best tutorial on the pico I have seen , I did watch one where the guy tried to use #define and include in the programme - i got a good laugh watching that 😀

@richleyden6839 3 года назад

Very nice getting started with the Pico video. I like the way you make no assumptions of prior knowledge and cover necessary bits. But, mercifully keeping it brief so as to not turn off somewhat more experienced viewers. Admittedly, that a fine line. For example, my mouse was posed to skip the solder flux cleaning tutorial 😀. But it is probably appropriate for most Pico beginners.

@artbecker5618 3 года назад

Plus skip past the part where he reads all the specifications from the spec sheet -- the same as all the other intro videos do to waste time and make their videos longer without adding any value. Not as bad as all the videos merely taking something out of a cardboard box, but still annoying. Then he has to perpetuate the myth that the Pico is a $4 board (like the myth of the old C.H.I.P. being a $9 board). Shipping can double, triple, or more the actual price you pay, but few videos are honest enough to mention that. It would be better to just skip all the fluff, increase speed to 1.25x, and get right to the I/O part at 23:36.
