Raspberry Pi Pico Flexible Microcontroller Mini Development Board, Based on the Raspberry Pi RP2040, Dual-Core Arm Cortex M0+ Processor, Up to 133 MHz, Support C/C++ / Python

Great little development board, useful for making little electronics projects. There is a wealth of support on the Raspberry Pi web site and many others like YouTube.It is great that it can be programed with Python using Thonny or C++ using the Arduino IDE.Took a bit of effort with my 55 year old eyes to solder on all the pins, so maybe get the one with the pins already attached if you are not confident with a soldering iron (or don't know someone who is).Overall, extremely impressed with this little board and it is excellent value when compared to some other simular boards.

The Pi Pico is new territory for RPi. If you're used to larger cousins you need to be aware that this board doesn't run Raspbian. It's more closely styled to an Arduino Nano or a Teensy board than, for instance, a Model 3b or Model 4 Pi. It supports PWM, I2C and SPI. Once you have your expectations in line then it's super easy to get up and running with MicroPython and there are some good starter projects available if you search for 'Getting started with Raspberry Pi Pico'. I'm usually an Nano guy, but I'm having fun playing with this. The RP2040 seems like a very capable piece of silicon and I really appreciate the (relatively) generous resources that came bundled on the board with the chip.

Good little microcontroller, great for learning and not spending a lot of money on it. A good introduction to electronics.

GeeekPi Raspberry Pi Pico KitI have now had this GeeekPi Raspberry Pi Pico Kit for just over a week, after the next day delivery a small box arrived containing the pi pico, pin headers (that need soldering into place) and a USB cable-used to program the pi pico.My best advice would be to seek out the free to download “Official Raspberry pi pico guide” or any of the great guides on the raspberrypi.org website. All these guides then take you through how to setup, and program your pico. This and a multitude of other guides and projects really help learning what is possible with this cheap but powerful board.A few minutes later having installed the required software, and I have the Pi Pico running a very simple program -flashing the built in LED.To really use the Pi Pico, you need to solder the pin headers in place, simple projects from blinking LED’s to weather station are all possible, with a large number of pins, you can hookup a variety of electronic components, sensors and LCD displays.Programming the pi pico, is easy, using micopython or more recently added, the Arduino ide.Overall this kit is highly recommended, in particular this seller provides the required USB cable, so great if you starting out with these Pi Pico’s

Kind of a bit pointless reviewing a pi if we're honest. Does anyone not know that the pi pico has been released, and does anyone not know what it's all about?This is basically a repackaged pi that comes with a cable and pin headers, notably something the original pico doesn't if you get it from one of the so called authorised sellers. Deluxe kit...I guess.It's still a lot more expensive though, but I guess some people for various reasons cant buy them there.I personally dont think this thing will catch on, I have a couple lying around and I've yet to find a purpose for them as every crazy scheme I think up needs either wifi or a screen, both of which are easier with a full pi or an esp32. And I'm not sold on micropython yet either, though top tip here: circuitpython is...well...seems better to me. You can now also just about do arduino C on these things.I think it will, given a few months or a year, find more uses as the open source community writes stuff to support it. But aside from the hype, I'm not seeing a lot right now.So I guess there was some value to a review after all. Who knew.

this is the new raspberry pi pico development board, i’ve been using raspberry pi board for years and i’m happy that raspberry pi finally got a micro controller board like arduinoits size is same as raspberry pi zero, there is no sd card slot as it equipped with 2mb flash for code storagethis package came with headers and data cable, ready to use out of the box, wish there is an option to order pre-soldered model, it’s quite difficult to solder the headers properlyprogram it with micro python and thonny, it’s absolutely much easiler and simpler than coding with raspberry pi to control simple components like i2c display, led, sensors etc, and more this raspberry pi pico got a built in thermometer which i frequently use, connecting pico to computer for loading app is easy, no driver is requiredoverall i’m very happy with this product, would highly recommend it

I know that this is the pico but I really didn't know just how small this card was going to be. This is perfect for Internet of things applications. I have it attached to a pressure sensor as a data logger and it is so easy to set-up. You only need to solder on the pins for the application that you will run. With this size you can conceal it anywhere and with the right protection you can use it in a variety of environments.The big question is the price. If you look at other suppliers then it is much cheaper but here you get the headers and the usb cable. I have a lot of usb cables kicking around and also a lot of headers and so for me this is not really worth it but for someone starting out then this has all that you need. However this is not a model that I would start with. I would start with the full sized Raspberry Pi as that has more features and it is an easier learning experience.
