Description
The Raspberry Pi Pico (Micro Python) Starter Kit introduces you to a new world of embedded systems development using the Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 Microcontroller chip from Raspberry Pi and the microPython programming language based in Python.
The Raspberry Pi Pico Starter Kit is designed to help you quickly start creating projects using the microPython embedded programming language. The microPython is easy to start and have faster deployment time of codes to the development board utilizing the power of scripting programming of Python compare to the previous C programming setup. This is like Python plus C embedded programming rolled into one!
This starter kit contains the following: the main board Raspberry Pi Pico board (with soldered headers), small breadboard, connecting wires, input/output components, LED, push button, temperature sensor, motors and more.
This also contains the Experiment Manual officially made by the Raspberry Pi development team and from different example sources in the internet.
The powerful Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 board
The Raspberry Pi Pico board, is a microcontroller board based on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller chip. It has been designed to be a low-cost, high-performance microcontroller board with flexible digital interfaces. The Raspberry Pi Pico features two ARM Cortex-M0+ cores run up to 133MHz; 256KB RAM; 30 GPIO pins; and a broad range of interfacing options.
