“I love the raspberry pi Pico. It's fast powerful with plenty of onboard resources. I especially like the PIO state machines on the pins. Lots of RAM and FLASH program storage. To top it all off the price is superb. I'm already porting old projects over to this chip. Looking forward to a smaller sized version for really small projects.”
“An excellent little microcontroller and dev board.
The datasheet is one of the best I've ever read, it has great IO for a chip this size, there's an open source C toolchain based on GCC, and already there are lots of example projects on GitHub.
My only (very minor) complaint is that it would be nice if we got a few pin headers with the dev board instead of having to order a set from eBay and spending a minute soldering them on.”
“Another exceptional value product from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Found it very easy to program with micropython or circuitpython but not so easy with C++ I guess that could change with upcoming support from the Arduino IDE though.
Although I haven’t used the pico c/c++ SDK it looks very powerful. No doubt it will get even better over time with support for more external sensors and i/o.”
