Microcontrollers, like the RP2040 chip at the heart of Raspberry Pi Pico, are computers stripped back to their bare essentials. You don't use monitors or keyboards with them — instead, you program them over USB to take their input from (and send their output to) on-board input/output pins. Using these programmable connections, you can light LEDs, make noises, send text to screens, and much more. In Get started with MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico 2nd Edition, you will learn how to use the beginner-friendly MicroPython language to write programs, and you’ll connect up hardware to make your Raspberry Pi Pico interact with the world around it. Using these skills, you can create your own electromechanical projects, whether for fun or to make your life easier. Raspberry Pi Pico is a miniature marvel, putting the same technology that underpins everything from smart home systems to industrial factories in the palm of your hand. Whether you’re looking to learn about the MicroPython programming language, take your first steps in physical computing, or want to build a hardware project, Raspberry Pi Pico — and its amazing community — will support you every step of the way. Throughout this book you’ll be learning all about Raspberry Pi Pico, but the skills you learn will also apply to any other development board based around its RP2040 microcontroller — and even other devices, so long as they are compatible with the MicroPython programming language. Whether you’re using Raspberry Pi Pico for a home project, industrial automation, or learning (or teaching!) electronics and programming, this book will show you how.
