Description
This kit comes with a Raspberry Pi Pico board and the essential accessories to get started.
The Raspberry Pi Pico
The Raspberry Pi Pico is a completely other type of device if you compare it with the well-known range of existing Raspberry Pi signle board computers. The Raspberry Pi Pico is based on a tiny microcontroller and is not intended to run a complete operating system. So it can’t manage multiple tasks at the same time for example.
But the Pico’s size is very small (51 x 21 mm). And it has some other interesting advantages comparing to the Raspberry Pi computers :
- the Pico can read analog signals, the classic Raspberry Pi computers can’t
- no latency when dealing with GPIO pins
- the power consumption is much lower than the single board computers
- it costs significantly less than the Raspberry Pi computers
In other words, it makes the Raspberry Pi Pico an ideal device to iteract with all kind of electronic components. Have a look at the official Raspberry Pi Pico Datasheet for a detailed description and the wide range of possibilities.
