Product Details
Microcontrollers, like the RP2040 in the Raspberry Pi Pico, are ideal for hands - on projects. They're different from regular computers as they don't need monitors or keyboards. You can program them via USB and use their input/output pins to interact with the world. With these connections, you can control LEDs, make sounds, display text, and more. In this second - edition book, you'll learn MicroPython to write programs and connect your Raspberry Pi Pico to hardware. It covers the latest Raspberry Pi Pico W and the newest MicroPython version. You'll learn to start with Pico and Pico W, work with various electronic components, design your own projects, use Pico W in IoT, and connect it via Bluetooth Low Energy. Whether you're into DIY, home automation, or teaching, this book is a great start. Inside, you'll find chapters on getting to know your Pico, programming, physical computing, and more, along with useful appendices. Gain skills to create interactive electromechanical systems for personal use or teaching. Let's turn your ideas into reality!
To use this book, start by reading the first chapter to get familiar with your Raspberry Pi Pico. Then, move on to learning MicroPython programming in the second chapter. As you go through the book, try out the projects described in each chapter using the electronic components mentioned. When working with the Raspberry Pi Pico W, follow the instructions carefully to connect it to the network or use Bluetooth. Make sure to keep your Raspberry Pi Pico and related components in a dry and clean place to avoid damage. If you face any issues while programming, refer back to the book for guidance. Also, don't forget to check the appendices for specifications and pinout guides. Have fun creating your own electromechanical projects!
