Raspberry Pi Pico tutorials

Welcome to our Raspberry Pi Pico tutorials ! The Raspberry Pi Pico comes with a low-cost microcontroller. Microcontrollers are tiny computers which you can program to interact with the phisical world.

To make the connections to all kinds of electronic components convenient, the Raspberry Pi Pico is equiped with several input and output pins. Using these connections, we can measure the ambient temperature, light LEDs, detect movement, send text to an LCD display and much more.

Learn here how to program your Raspberry Pi Pico with MicroPython. Our to-the-point tutorials will quickly help you acquire the necessary skills to move ahead with your project.

Start learning now how physical computing senses the environment and interacts with your Raspberry Pi Pico !
