“Easy and simply informative. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has a Raspberry Pi Pico board. I enjoyed it very much indeed and found that the components needed for the breadboard projects were cheap and easy to find online. I completed all the work through examples except for one which I needed components for and still use the book as an important reference material for experimental breadboard projects when ever trying something new with a Raspberry Pi Pico board.”
“This is an excellent book for those intending to write Python on the Pico. This is also the corrected version which Pimoroni sent as a free replacement. Pimoroni are a great company to deal with!”
“An excellent introduction to the new Pico microcontroller from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. It fully describes the Pico's components and connections, then guides you through programming it in micropython, then on to connecting it to physical input and output devices so that it can monitor and control the world (at leasts, bits of the world!). The examples are meaningful (too often guides like this show examples that nobody would want to make). It includes appendices summarising the spec and pinouts, and describing the very advanced programmable input/output capabilities. Oddly, there is no table of contents.”
“It introduces the Pico in a straightforward way that my 10 year old can understand and follow and I don’t mind either. A lot of the tutorials I have already covered with my other Raspberry pi’s but it’s still a very good recap for me. It’s got everything in it to get you started without destroying the Pico.”
