Microcontrollers, like the RP2040 chip at the heart of the Raspberry Pi Pico, are stripped-down computers designed for hands-on projects. Unlike traditional computers, microcontrollers don’t rely on monitors or keyboards. Instead, you program them over USB, using their on-board input/output pins to interact with the world around them.
With these versatile connections, you can control LEDs, produce sounds, display text on screens, and much more. In Get Started with MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico (2nd Edition), you'll learn how to use the easy-to-learn MicroPython language to write programs and connect your Raspberry Pi Pico to hardware, bringing your projects to life.
This fully updated edition covers the latest Raspberry Pi Pico W and the newest version of MicroPython, guiding you through:
  • Getting started with Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W
  • Working with a variety of electronic components
  • Designing and building your own programmable electronic projects
  • Using Raspberry Pi Pico W as a network-connected device in the Internet of Things (IoT)
  • Connecting your Pico W to smartphones, tablets, or other Pico W devices using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
Whether you're building fun DIY projects, automating tasks around the home, or teaching electronics and programming, this book is the perfect starting point.
