“My experience with this board is good. No surprises here. I played with some of the code that was available out on the internet as soon as I got hold of this board. This is going to be one useful board when paired with wireless communication capabilities. I have already explored the Pico board. This Pico W board will now add more adventures to my experiments.”
“Really small and I'm still trying to get it to do the things that I once used a (now unavailable) Zero 2 W to do. I'll get there, but MicroPython is a bit limiting. I also haven't worked the state machines out! These are my problems - the device itself is amazing, for the price”
“Love these as cheap but powerful IoT devices. Couple of frustrations - 1) the Python environment doesn't have much free memory if you're planning (as I was) to use it for displaying stuff on a reasonably-sized display 2) the power management isn't as easy to exploit as on, say, an ESP32 type device.
But for basic ease-of-use both programming AND soldering (the pads are so much easier to solder pins into than the typical ESP's holes), you can't go wrong with one of these.”
