“A great little bit of kit, perfect for getting into dev boards. Also useful for projects where you don't need a more expensive fancier bit of kit.”

“Amazing, amazing, amazing piece of kit. If it's physical stuff you're into, the pico is incredible. Almost instant startup times, solid PWM output, ADC, as well as I2C, UART etc for the high tech add-ons, pico's got it all. And soooo cheap it's unbelievable. Flexible power options as well. I'm a huge fan, I love it. With Kitronik's Simply Servos or Robotics boards you can keep things really neat. Only downside is lack of built-in wireless, but that's just been added with the Pico W.”

“Two or so months ago, I was full of enthusiasm for the RP2040. I mean, just look at what you get for the low cost! Unfortunately the old clique chimes in - If it looks too good to be true... Well, that might not be entirely fair. As a simple, general-purpose micro, the RP2040 is worth considering and the Pico board makes an excellent, low-cost way to get started. And that's where low cost stops. Raspberry Pi seem to think it is acceptable for people to spend days and days getting flakey toolchains in place. Time is the most expensive commodity we tend to deal with so I would prefer to pay a bit more to get the tools in place and reliably running straight away. Specifically for C/C++ embedded development NOT Python. I get the feeling that Raspberry Pi are guilty of hanging to their Hobbyist label with their inane love of CLI's and Python. What a shame as the RP2040 was a great opportunity to go mainstream, but I am one who has been put off. I strongly suspect I am not alone as many, like me, hate having their time wasted on sub-standard offerings. The RP2040 isn't as cheap as it looks as it needs external memory and Chrystal (don't even consider the internal RC osc as it's a joke which, in today's market, is unforgivable) My patience has run dry. I would have rated only one star, but this is meant to be a review on the Pi Pico! Ok, that isn't bad. The biggest weakness is that the SWD debug signals aren't routed to a connector and getting debug up and running is an utter joke (see attach pic; who would consider that an acceptable debug solution?). If it wasn't for this failure it would have been four stars.”
