So, I’ve started playing around with a Raspberry Pi Pico. All I’ve been able to do so far is to blink the LED with a little Python program, but it’s going to be a lot of fun.
To make it even more fun, I just purchased and built the Raspberry Pi Pico Breakout Board (see right). One thing that I like about it is the terminal strips. The terminal strips will allow me to make secure connections to sensors and other I/O. Another nice feature is that the kit includes the headers that you need to solder to the Pico.
There’s a lot of soldering. 120 solder joints in all. But, it didn’t take too long, once I got into the rhythm. And, once you get all the soldering done, you have an effective development aid.
