Very well priced microcontroller.

While the global chip shortage has severely impacted the supply of Raspberry Pi main boards and Zeros', the availability of these brilliant, versatile boards has been almost constant. This has accelerated interest in them, and the focus of the maker community has produced a plethora of interesting and innovative designs around them. Although they are fundamentally a different beastie (a microcontroller rather than a micro-computer), I have found them a better fit for a lot of my projects. The almost instant start time is a real game changer, for instance, I had made a Pi Zero based system to control some large lengths of Neopixels, I used to have to wait for the Pi to start up - then auto-run the program. Now with the Pico based version I power it up and it starts running instantly. Also Loading the OS, is almost instant. I love them, especially now that we have built in wifi.

The Pico is the latest microcontroller that I have had over many years and, possibly, the most useful. A choice of ways to program it is very helpful, I have used python for years and I have used the Arduino, in most of its formats, so I am OK with that. Wireless access is quick and easy to sort out, a webserver was my first test and that was very simple to get running. All in all a great bit of kit.

An amazingly powerful little device, and with wi-fi opens it up to a whole new world. I'll be using this one to control the lights and sound on a Book Nook, but considering this thing is capable of driving a VGA display and running DOOM it seems a bit underused. Great value for money, would recommend.

Brilliant little devices, cheap enough to order a few and have multiple projects on the go at the same time. Great for me as I'm setting a coding club up for my nephew.
