“Looks like a really good project base. I have used the Pico with Python before, but I’d really like to get ‘C’ up and running with this board (hopefully there are libraries to help).”
“We have been using the Pi Pico board since it became available in the Spring of 2021. So far, we have sampled the Pico Explorer, the Inventor 2040 W, and the Pico Omnibus - all products of Pimoroni. They all have their applications, however the Inventor 2040 W comes closest to our requirement for a small, modestly priced microcontroller board tailored for robotics applications. The convenience of connection to Micro Metal Motors and tachometer assemblies via JST leads is a big step forward. So far, we have not explored the wireless capabilities of the 2040 W, but I am sure when the students get their hands on these boards then we shall see great things!”
