Raspberry Pi Pico and MicroPython
Program the Pico microcontroller.
📖 Key ideas
- Pico uses the RP2040/RP2350 chip; Pico W adds Wi-Fi.
- Program in MicroPython (Thonny) or C/C++ SDK.
- machine.Pin controls GPIO.
- Pico has ADC pins for analog input.
- Low power and real-time, ideal for sensors and robots.
💡 Real-life example: The Pico is the Pi family's quick, low-power cousin: no OS, just instant control.
