Raspberry Pi Pico (W) starter kit

Description

This starter kit comes with a Raspberry Pi Pico or Raspberry Pi Pico W and a wide range of carefully selected electronic devices.

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.

The Raspberry Pi Pico W (optional, please select)

The Raspberry Pi Pico W adds on-board WiFi single-band 2.4GHz wireless interfaces (802.11n) using the Infineon CYW43439 chip. This allows to integrate perfectly this microcontroller into your IoT applications.
