Metro RP2040 Tester is ready to rock! 🔌💻🧠
We sometimes have 'Coming soon' products in the shop - this is usually when products are done and hand-verified, but the automated tester still needs to be finished. For example, this Metro RP2040 https://www.adafruit.com/product/5786, which we have the tester here. Typically metros are tested on a Raspberry Pi, but in this case, we're using the Pico Brains board https://github.com/adafruit/RP2040-Based-Tester-Brains-PCB to do it, and it's able to do all programming and test in 10 seconds - which means we can offer the Metro RP2040 at a very nice price! We'll hand this over to our test-and-prep team and schedule the work order next; you can sign up to be notified when we get the Metro RP2040 in stock next week https://www.adafruit.com/product/5786

E-PAPER LIBRARY <FULLSTOP>
BITMAPS -> (WIP) | SIDE NOTE
Our specimen is a 2.13" 104x212 pixel 3 color Waveshare E-paper. (I got an older model so the resolution is lower) The use of this will be saved for later, but for now let's see how pretty pictures get plopped onto that screen using a Raspberry Pi Pico. My code here. Waveshare's code here.
Tumblr media
To talk to the screen, it takes 4-wire SPI. That's:
1 wire for a clock to make sure things get done at a specified pace
1 for a chip select to select which device you want to talk to
2 wires for each direction of communication. A Master Out, Slave In (MOSI (or "tx")), and a Master In, Slave Out (MISO (or "rx")). (((tx and rx depends on the perspective. When the host is Transmitting (tx), the client is Receiving (rx). When the host is Recieving (rx), the client is Transmitting (tx))))
There's also a slew of other control wires popping out including "Busy", "Reset", and "Data/Command select". These aren't part of the standard SPI system, but they're handy for controlling the screen.
Waveshare offers some of the greatest resources for new timers and hobbiests IMO. You can download a code library for their products and if it doesn't suit your needs, they're simple enough to mod yourself. And slashing the code open and wearing its skin is exactly what is going to get done.
How we decide what parts of the library to take is easy. Look at an example code that's similar to what we want, and start copying all the functions that get that job done. Then we copy all the functions it takes to run those functions. So on, until no more undefined errors show up. If any of the standard library code is undefined, #include it. If that library isn't for your board, lookup the equivalent standard library (if it exists) and translate it.
It's like plagiarism, but educational!
Let's start with a low level library to make calls to and from the board. These are like "the purest" calls possible to the screen, they can't be split up anymore.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The lowest level includes
Pin read/write
SPI write
Board delay
Next is the higher level library that we are going to actually use in our code. This layer exists so we it doesn't take 15 lines of code to do a single thing and it's going to use the lower level. We're just going to bundle up a bunch of common functions into a pleasant function bun.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The higher level includes
Send data/command
Read if the screen is busy
Turn on display
Initialize some standard settings on the display
Put the screen to sleep
Push an array of data (image) to the screen
Pushing images to the screen is actually easy (once you have the array of data ready). Just iterate through the entire array, pushing 8 bits at a time. The direction that you iterate will depend on how you want to orientate your image. You can mirror it on the horizontal and/or vertical and rotate it.
As you probably notice, most of the code is copy-pasta-ed from the original library. The point is to get it working, then it will get improved. (There's actually a mistake(?) in the "readbusy" where the delay is outside the while loop. This was in the original code too, which explains why I missed it. I just copy pasted. (Why is the code for "readbusy" so different? Well I grabbed that picture from a different version of the code. ANYWAYS))
Wonderful, we now have some copy pasted code that can control the screen. We haven't told it to do anything yet, but that will come. For now we have the screen theoretically working.
After a few rounds of testing and getting nothing on the screen, it hit me. The image file it's trying to look for doesn't exist on the board. The code right now is saying "as the code is running, look for the file called <Bleh>", but since there's no file system on the pico, it can't look for a file. Is there a way to compile files directly into the code? Probably. But I don't know how. Plan B, manually create arrays of the data for each image and #include them in a header

Basic Understanding of ARM Microcontroller
ARM Microcontroller
Are you interested in learning more about ARM microcontrollers? If so, you are in the right place! In this blog post, I will explain what ARM microcontrollers are, why they are so popular, and how you can get started with them.
ARM microcontrollers are a type of microcontroller that use the ARM architecture. ARM stands for Advanced RISC Machine, which means that they use a simple and efficient instruction set that can execute faster and with less power consumption than other architectures. ARM microcontrollers are widely used in embedded systems, such as smartphones, tablets, IoT devices, and robotics.
One of the main advantages of ARM microcontrollers is that they are very versatile and scalable. You can find ARM microcontrollers with different features and performance levels to suit your needs and budget. For example, you can choose from Cortex-M series for low-cost and low-power applications, Cortex-R series for real-time and safety-critical applications, or Cortex-A series for high-performance and complex applications.
Another benefit of ARM microcontrollers is that they have a large and active community of developers and enthusiasts. You can find many resources online to help you learn and develop with ARM microcontrollers, such as tutorials, books, blogs, forums, and courses. You can also use various tools and platforms to program and debug your ARM microcontrollers, such as Arduino IDE, Keil MDK, STM32CubeIDE, mbed OS, and Raspberry Pi Pico.
If you want to get started with ARM microcontrollers, you will need some basic hardware and software components. First, you will need an ARM microcontroller board that suits your project requirements. You can find many options online from different vendors and manufacturers. Some popular examples are Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense, STM32 Nucleo-64, Teensy 4.0, and Raspberry Pi Pico. Second, you will need a USB cable to connect your board to your computer. Third, you will need an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) to write and upload your code to your board. You can choose from the ones mentioned above or any other compatible IDE.
If you are interested to understand more about the ARM microcontrollers, then you can go through the PiEmbSysTech ARM microcontrollers Tutorial Blog. If you have any questions or query, that you need to get answer or you have any idea to share it with the community, you can use Piest Forum.
To summarize, ARM microcontrollers are a great choice for anyone who wants to learn more about embedded systems and electronics. They offer a range of features and performance levels that can fit any project idea. They also have a large and supportive community that can help you along the way. I hope this blog post has given you a basic understanding of ARM microcontrollers and inspired you to try them out. Happy coding!

Bluetooth für den Raspberry Pi Pico W
Tumblr media
Der bliebte Microcontroller der Raspberry Pi Foundation erlaubt auch die Nutzung von Bluetooth. Jetzt gibt es mehr darüber...
Kaum ein Microcontroller steht wohl so in der Gunst der Nutzer, wie der Raspberry Pi Pico und dessen Wirelss Version Pico W. Der Pico W hat uns durch WLAN viele neue Anwendungsmöglichkeiten eröffnen. Doch was die Meißten so nicht auf dem Schirm hatten war, dass der Microcontroller von Beginn an auch über Bluetooth (BT) verfügte.
Kein Wunder, denn es gab dazu weder die nötige Software im Betriebssystem (OS/_SDK) noch Programmcode für Anwendungen, wie bspw. in Micropython. Damit liegt Bluetooth brach. Es war jedoch klar, dass sich dies ändern sollte und mit dem Update der SDK auf die Version 1.5.0, sollte sich hier etwas tun. Jetzt ist die neue Version erschienen und die ersten Beta für Bluetooths sind da.
Wir stehen jedoch im Bezug auf BT beim Pico W noch ganz am Anfang. Einige Tüfftler haben aber bereits erste Erfahrungen mit BT beim Pico W und es gibt in sofern auch bereits Code dafür. Wie das werdet ihr fragen? Die Lösung, welche das Warten auf die Onboard-BT-Funktion überbrückte war die Verwendung eines zusätzlichen BT-Modules HC-06, welches mit dem Pico W über dessen PinOuts verbunden werden konnte.
Dazu musste man vom Bluetooth Modul HC-06 den Kontakt RXD mit GP0/UART0 TX beim Pico herstellen, ferner TXD auf GP1/UART0 RX, GND auf 35(GND) und VCC auf 40/VBUS verbinden. Wenn wir von BT Verbindungen sprechen müssen wir uns auch mit dem Thema App auseinandersetze. Hier muss man nicht unbedingt eine eigene App programmieren, sondern kann ggf. sich bereits mit der Serial Bluetooth Terminal App aus dem Google PlayStore helfen.
Sicher wird es nun Anpassungen geben, die auf dem Code des HC-06 Moduls fußen und natürlich neuen Code, der im Laufe der nächsten Wochen entwickelt werden wird. Jetzt wo wir aber das Boardeigene BT des Raspberry Pi Pico nutzen können benötigen wir passende Anwendungen auf der Basis von Micropython und genau an diesem Punkt haben wir derzeit noch einen Showstopper.
Nachfolgende Links führen Dich auf Websites mit Details über BT beim PicoW und zur neuen SDK:
Doch was bringt es uns? Am Beispiel eine LED ein- und auszuschalten können wir dies beim Pico W aktuell ja sehr fein indem wir einen Webserver auf dem Pico ausführen. Jetzt könnten wir das auch über Bluetooth tun. Mhhh. Schön soweit. Steuern wir einen selbstgebauten Roboter, den wir mit einem PicoW antreiben könnte das natürlich viel nützlicher sein eine BT Verbindung dafür zu nutzen. Wir dürfen also hier ein paar neue Produkte erwarten, bei denen nun der Raspberry Pi Pico W ein wesentliches Bauteil sein wird, um beispielsweise Servos zu steuern.

Raspberry Pi Pico Programming with Rust
Tumblr media
I’m doing a #365DaysofRust.  My commitment is 15 minutes average daily of either reading about rust, or writing rust, or both.
You can see really detailed posts if you like on my blog, but I will be putting some neat little tid-bits on here with stuff I find particularly interesting. In this post about How to Program a Raspberry Pi Pico with Rust, I cover how to configure an output pin to handle supplying 5 volts DC to some device via a specific pin (GP18) on the board. For example:
let mut gp18 = pins.gpio18.into_push_pull_output();
This little bit of code is telling the RP2040 controller that it needs to treat GPIO18 as a Push-Pull output.  Then you can reference the variable it creates “gp18″ later on, and set it’s state based on whatever conditions. This is pretty sick!  This is a crate that gives you the power to tell a piece of hardware how to behave.  And if you check out the code in the HAL, you can see that there are only a few layers of abstraction in between the variable “gp18″ and setting register values manually in the controller to behave like expected.
Tumblr media
It’s super interesting to me what’s being handled in the HAL (hardware abstraction layer), and I think maybe towards the end of the year I might try to get nitty-gritty with the bare metal if I actually stick with it.
Anyway, stick around if you want to nerd out on Rust programming and Raspberry Pi Pico stuff!

High Security Surveillance Camera using OpenCV Python & Arduino. In your case, I would use Raspberry Pi + camera to capture images/videos. Im trying to use OpenCV via Python to find multiple objects in a train image and match. So, I had a question 'can I have a face id for my Arduino project' and the answer is yes. For example, Azure, Bluemix or your main computer. Face Recognition and Identification Arduino Face ID Using OpenCV Python and Arduino.: Facial recognition AKA face ID is one of the most important feature on mobile phones nowadays. but, you can use Arduino/Raspberry Pi to capture information and send it to a server for analysis. Both devices (webcam and Arduino are connected to the same computer via. The pushbutton is on a breadboard and is connected to pin 10 on said Arduino device. The Arduino Uno is connected to the same Windows PC that the webcam is connected to. A window can be closed by pressing ESC key (represented as ASCII code 27). As some people said before, you just can't run OpenCV on Arduino. OpenCV is running in the Anaconda Spyder IDE within the same Windows PC that is connected to the webcam. RTSP URL usually consists of username, password, IP address of the camera, port number (554 is default RTSP port number), stream name.Ĭaptured frames displayed in the window using imshow function. Simply place the phone in our mobile holder and sit in. The Application will automatically connect to the HC-05 (must be named HC-05) Bluetooth module and will wait for a face to be detected.
Arduino camera opencv android#
Simply power your Arduino and open the android application. Many manufacturers provide RTSP URL on their website or user manual. Once we are ready with our hardware, code and Android Application its time for some action. Since RTSP URL is not standardized, different IP camera manufacturers might use different RTSP URLs. To capture RTSP stream from IP camera we need to specify RTSP URL as argument. OpenCV provides VideoCapture class which allows to capture video from video files, image sequences, webcams, IP cameras, etc.

Raspberry Pi Pico W - Creator Display erstellen
Tumblr media
In diesem Beitrag möchte ich dir zeigen, wie du deinen Raspberry Pi Pico W mit einem OLED Display in ein Creator Display verwandeln kannst und dort deine Social-Media Attribute anzeigen lässt. Natürlich kannst du dieses Beispiel auch recht einfach adaptieren und dort andere Daten von APIs anderer Dienste anzeigen, wie zbsp. vom Deutschen Wetterdienst, Umrechnungskurse, Aktienkurse etc. Da wir das spätere Programm in MicroPython schreiben, können wir auch einen anderen Mikrocontroller als den Raspberry Pi Pico W verwenden. Jedoch ist dieser derzeit meine erste Wahl und wird für dieses kleine Projekt eingesetzt.
Was soll das Creator Display anzeigen?
Ziel soll es sein, auf einem Display die Aufrufe und Abos anzeigen zu lassen. https://youtu.be/YE9z9fq-dnc Da mein YoutTube Kanal Draeger-IT noch recht klein ist, habe ich noch nicht so viele Abos und auch nicht die Masse an Aufrufe, aber trotzdem möchte ich die YouTube API ansprechen, um die Daten zu empfangen und auszuwerten. Hier eine kleine Auflistung der APIs zu welchen man recht einfach Zugriff bekommt: - YouTube, - Instagram, - Pinterest, - Facebook, - TikTok In diesem Beitrag möchte ich mich zunächst auf die YouTube API beschränken. Die anderen Social-Media-Plattformen werden ggf. in separaten Beiträgen behandelt.
Benötigte Ressourcen für dieses Projekt
Damit du Zugriff auf die YouTube API bekommst, benötigst du einen Google Account und einen API Key. Den API Key kannst du dir nur mit einem Google Developer Account anlegen und unter https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/ anlegen. Um einen API Key zu generieren, klicken wir zunächst im Navigationsmenü auf der linken Seite auf "Anmeldedaten" (1) und können dann auf "+ CREATE CREDENTIALS" (2) klicken. Im neu geöffneten Untermenü kannst du den ersten Eintrag "API-Schlüssel" (3) wählen und ein allgemeingültiger API-Schlüssel wird erzeugt.
Tumblr media
Schritt 1 - erstellen eines API Keys im Google Developer Account Nach einer kurzen Wartezeit wird dir der API Key in einem Dialog angezeigt, welchen du dir in die Zwischenablage kopieren kannst.
Tumblr media
Schritt 2 - neu generierter API Key Achtung: Mit dem API Key kannst du auf einfache Weise auf deinen Account zugreifen und Daten hinzufügen und auch ändern. Den hier dargestellten API Key habe ich gegen Missbrauch unkenntlich gemacht und auch nach der Erstellung von diesem Beitrag wieder gelöscht.
Aufruf der YouTube API per HTTP Request
Am Einfachsten kannst du über einen simplen HTTP Request auf die YouTube API zugreifen, du benötigst also keine zusätzlichen Module, welche du importieren musst. Du kannst mit deinem zuvor generierten API Key somit recht einfach eine URL zusammensetzen und wie hier die aktuelle Kanalstatistik als JSON abrufen. https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?id=UCUoqALbWy__4Blgfztg4sKg&key=AIzaSyD*********F3AJHs&part=statistics { "kind": "youtube#channelListResponse", "etag": "MozCK4S3NxXniTguDkimSgach7g", "pageInfo": { "totalResults": 1, "resultsPerPage": 5 }, "items": } Im letzten Beitrag Raspberry Pi Pico W – Zeit aus dem Internet lesen und auf einem Display anzeigen habe ich dir bereits gezeigt, wie du eine Zeit von einem Server als JSON Response anfordern und auswerten kannst. Jedoch müssen wir auf die API per SSL zugreifen und daher müssen wir etwas umschreiben.
Aufbau einer SSL Verbindung mit dem Modul ussl
Das nachfolgende Beispiel habe ich von der Seite Python ussl.wrap_socket() Examples entnommen und dieses hat auf Anhieb quasi ohne Änderungen funktioniert. Der Vorteil ist an der erweiterten Funktion, dass diese mit HTTP & HTTPS arbeiten kann. Damit wir die SSL Verbindung aufbauen können, müssen wir zunächst das Modul ussl in die Thonny IDE einbinden. Über das Hauptmenü "Extras" > "Verwalte Pakete..." erreichst du den Dialog zum Installieren neuer Module. In diesem Dialog suchst du zunächst nach "ussl" (1), mit der Schaltfläche "Suche auf PyPi" (2) aus den Suchergebnissen wählst du den Eintrag "pycopy-cpython-ussl" (3) aus. Nach dem Selektieren des Eintrages aus den Suchergebnissen kannst du dann die Schaltfläche "Installieren" (4) betätigen und das Modul wird hinzugefügt.
Tumblr media

Tumblr media
installieren des Modules "ussl" in der Thonny IDE Schritt 2 Im Ordner "lib" des Mikrocontrollers findest du nun die Datei "ussl.py".
Tumblr media
Installierte Module auf dem Pi Pico W Hier die angesprochene Funktion zum Absenden eines HTTP / HTTPS Request und liefern des Response. import ussl # Funktion zum absenden eines HTTP / HTTPS Request und # Rückgabe des Response # Quelle: https://www.programcreek.com/python/example/96165/ussl.wrap_socket def http_get(url): print("Fetching:", url) proto, _, host, path = url.split('/', 3) if proto == "http:": port = 80 elif proto == "https:": port = 443 addr = socket.getaddrinfo(host, port) s = socket.socket() s.connect(addr) if proto == "https:": s = ussl.wrap_socket(s, server_hostname=host) s.write(bytes('GET /%s HTTP/1.0rnHost: %srnrn' % (path, host), 'utf8')) result = '' while True: data = s.read(100) if data: result = result + str(data, 'utf8') else: break s.close() return result Die Rückgabe ist nicht nur ein einfacher HTTP/HTTPS Response, sondern auch die gesamten Header Daten.

Funktion zum Extrahieren des JSON Response
Wie du erkennen kannst, liefert die Funktion noch zusätzliche Daten, welche wir in diesem Fall nicht benötigen. Mit einfachen nachfolgenden Funktion können wir den JSON Response extrahieren. # Ermitteln des JSONs aus dem HTTP Response def findJson(response): return response Als Parameter übergeben wir das Result der Funktion "http_get(url)" und erhalten unser JSON. { "kind": "youtube#channelListResponse", "etag": "nJfSIGqHLEeyYpfTt3arnG3kax0", "pageInfo": { "totalResults": 1, "resultsPerPage": 5 }, "items": }
Auswerten des JSON Response
Wenn du die Adresse im Browser ausgeführt / abgesendet wird, erhält man wie erwähnt eine Antwort mit einem JSON aus welchem man die nachfolgenden Werte entnehmen kann: - viewCount - Anzahl der gesamten Klicks auf Videos - subscriberCount - Anzahl der Abos - videoCount - Anzahl der Videos Zunächst wandeln wir das JSON Objekt in ein Dictionary um, denn so können wir ganz einfach auf die Werte zugreifen. import json aDict = json.loads(jsonData) {'pageInfo': {'resultsPerPage': 5, 'totalResults': 1}, 'kind': 'youtube#channelListResponse', 'etag': 'nJfSIGqHLEeyYpfTt3arnG3kax0', 'items': } Dun kann man mit dem Key "statistics" auf die oben aufgeführten Werte zugreifen. aDict = json.loads(jsonData) statistics = aDict subscriberCount = statistics videoCount = statistics viewCount = statistics print('subscriberCount', subscriberCount, sep=" ") print('videoCount', videoCount, sep=" ") print('viewCount', viewCount, sep=" ") subscriberCount 342 videoCount 301 viewCount 122093
Programmieren des Raspberry Pico W Creator Display
Nachdem wir die Daten ermittelt haben, wollen wir diese jetzt auf einem OLED Display anzeigen lassen. Für den Arduino, ESPx sowie natürlich für den Raspberry Pi / Pico / Pico W bekommst du diverse OLED Displays in verschiedene Auflösungen und auch Farben.
Tumblr media
Auswahl an OLED Displays für den Arduino, ESPx und Raspberry Pi Im nachfolgenden Beispiel verwende ich das 0,96" OLED Display mit einer Auflösung von 128 x 64 Pixel. Anschließen eines OLED Displays per I²C an den Pi Pico / Pico W Zunächst schließen wir unser OLED Display per I²C an den Pi Pico W an. Hier verwende ich die folgende Pinbelegung: - GND - Pin 38, GND - VCC - Pin 40, VBUS - SCL - Pin 1, GP1 - SDA - Pin 0, GP0

Auf dem OLED Display ist ein Chip vom Typ SSD1306 verbaut, für die Programmierung benötigen wir das Modul "micropython-ssd1306" welches wir ebenfalls wie zuvor das "ussl" Modul über "Extras" > "Verwalte Pakete..." installieren. Wir suchen somit nach "ssd1306" (1) mit der Schaltfläche "Suche auf PyPi" (2) oder betätigen einfach die Return taste. In den Suchergebnissen wählen wir den ersten Eintrag "micropyhton-ssd1306" aus und wählen im nächsten Dialog die Schaltfläche "Installieren", wenn der vorgang

Half-true call-out posts for makers of consumer electronics, smartphones and desktop computers are so boring. Instead we should do more about these for microelectronics and the like. With that in mind, here’s mine:
Stop buying Arduino, they’re problematic.
Note: I think it’s perfectly okay to buy a cheap knock-off of the Arduino Uno, Nano or Mega; I have dozens of them myself. I mean from the actual company itself. Yes, buying there funds their open source development and project, but honestly, I think they have enough money, considering what they’re spending it on, with their MKR range, the whole Arduino Pro/Potenta stuff and so on. The Arduino Uno and Nano are really complete products. Maybe they (or someone) will make a version with a USB-C plug, but that’s about all the development this needs. Ιf you want more power, the Raspberry Pi Pico or the whole STM32 range are right there, and the Raspberry Pi Pico is incredibly cheap.
Plus, it’s not like the Arduino guys are that great people to begin with. Consider the whole Arduino/Genuino split, or the way the project was an end-run around Wiring (at least according to the Wiring guy).
Yes, these guys do provide the (long finished) framework and the IDE. But on the flip side, they provide this IDE. It’s crap, it’s always been crap, and it has long passed the point where its hacked-together charm was endearing. Maybe 2.0 will be better, I know it’s supposed to be out soon. But I’ve already switched to PlatformIO long ago and I’m not looking back.
Now I’m not saying don’t support open source hardware and related projects. I’ve donated to KiCad, for example. And if you genuinely need the high-end boards that Arduino provides, well, knock yourself out.
But for the basic foundational beginner projects, where you just need to blink a LED with minimal setup time, my recommendation is to buy a clone (or many clones, they’re cheaper in bulk), or look at the more modern alternatives.

RP2040 USB host to program ESP chips through CDC chips
Historically, we've tested and programmed our Feather ESP8266 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2821) and ESP32 boards (https://www.adafruit.com/product/3405) from a Raspberry Pi. We'd connect over USB and run esptool.py, which works fine but has more things that can go wrong: power flickering, SD card failures, etc. It's better to fully program it with a Pico RP2040 brain board. We can do that now because TinyUSB has support for USB CDC Serial chips (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_TinyUSB_Arduino/tree/master/examples/DualRole/CDC/serial_host_bridge) like the FT232, CP210x, and WCH9102! We upload the stub and test firmware, then listen on the CDC for the self-test output. It works really fast and is much easier to manage.

Advantages Of EINK
E-paper display utilizes microcapsule electrophoretic technology for displaying, the principle is: charged particles suspended in clear fluid will move to sides of microcapsule when electric field is applied, making the microcapsule become visible by reflecting ambient light, just as traditional printed paper. E-paper display will clearly display images/texts under lamplight or natural light, requires no backlight, and features nearly up to 180° viewing angle. It is usually used as e-reader due to its paper-like effect.
No backlight, keeps displaying last content for a long time even when power down
Ultra low power consumption, basically power is only required for refreshing
SPI interface, requires minimal IO pins
Onboard voltage translator, compatible with 3.3V / 5V MCUs
2x user buttons for easy interacting
Comes with development resources and manual (Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ and MicroPython examples)

We’ve managed to get our hands on the coveted Raspberry Pi Pico. Today, we’re going to be looking at some of the most important features and putting it toe-to-toe with some of the biggest names in small electronics.
We’ll be showing you what the Pico can do, and we’ll get you started with MicroPython, one of Pico’s supported programming languages. We’ll even offer up some code to try in case you decide to buy a Pico of your own.
What Is a Raspberry Pi Pico?
Raspberry Pi Pico is a new budget microcontroller designed by Raspberry Pi. It’s a tiny computer built around a single chip, with onboard memory, and programmable in/out ports. Historically, microcontrollers are used in a variety of devices from medical implants to power tools. If you have an electronic device sitting in your vicinity, there’s a good chance that there’s a microcontroller inside of it.
Key Features of the Pico
Tumblr media
The Pico is built around the RP2040 microcontroller chip, which was designed by Raspberry Pi UK. It’s a Dual-Core ARM processor with a flexible clock that can run up to 133 MHz. The Pico also supports 1.8-5.5 DC input voltage, has a micro-USB input port, and an onboard temperature sensor.
Flanking the chip on all sides are a series of castellations that allow easy soldering to a Veroboard or breadboard. This dual in-line package (DIP) style form factor is stackable, and can also be used in carrier board applications.
Technical Specifications
21 mm x 51 mm
264kb on-chip RAM
2 MB on-board QSPI flash
2 UART
26 GPIO
2 SPI controllers
2 ISC controllers
16 PWM channels
Accelerated integer and floating-point libraries
3-pin ARM Serial Wire Debug (SWD) port
What’s So Special About the Pi Pico?
The Pi Pico is a different kind of microcontroller. It’s Raspberry Pi’s first, and it features ARM technology in its RP2040 silicon chip. Many technology companies are embracing silicon ARM chips, with major manufacturers like Apple leading the charge.
The punchy little Pico packs a staggering 26 multifunction general purpose input/output (GPIO) ports, including 3 that are analog. Alongside these ports are 8 programmable input/output (PIO) ports. Compare this to other microcontrollers like the Arduino Nano, and the Pico packs roughly 18% more GPIO capability.
The most considerable difference between the Pico and its competitors, however, is the $4 price tag. Low cost is the main selling point of this unique offering.
At launch, many online retailers sold out of the device due to the interest and Raspberry Pi’s favorable reputation. By setting the price so low, the Pico opens the door for a new class of high-powered, budget microcontrollers.
There are many potential applications for the new Pico. With its onboard temperature sensor, the device is an obvious choice for IoT projects.
One talented retro gaming enthusiast even used a Pico to build a gaming console with full VGA video support.

The Raspberry Pi Pico Processor
Tumblr media
The RP2040 ARM chip is an interesting choice for the Pico. At 133MHz, the chip is capable of leaving more expensive boards, like the Arduino Uno, in the dust.
Using ARM processors seems to be an emerging trend in the world of microcontrollers. In addition to Raspberry Pi, both Sparkfun and Adafruit also offer boards with similar ARM technology.
The industry-wide switch was made for a single reason—speed. ARM processors give a considerable boost over standard Atmel chips. In a board this size, using an ARM processor is like dropping a fully kitted Porsche engine into a Volkswagen. On the other hand, many microcontrollers don’t require that much processing speed. Yet.
Ramping up performance means that makers who want to push the limits of the Pico will have an abundance of power to do so.
The I/O Ports
Tumblr media
The GPIO ports on the Pi Pico feature several interesting functions for common uses such as operating a screen, running lighting, or incorporating servos/relays. Some functions of the GPIO are available on all ports, and some only work for specific uses. GPIO 25, for example, controls the Pico’s onboard LED, and GPIO 23 controls the onboard SMPS Power Save feature.
The Pico also has both VSYS (1.8V — 5.5V) and VBUS (5V when connected to USB) ports, which are designed to deliver current to the RP2040 and its GPIO. This means that powering the Pico can be done with or without the use of the onboard micro-USB.
A full list of the I/O ports is available on Raspberry Pi’s website in its complete Pico documentation.
Pico vs. Arduino vs. Others
Tumblr media
One question on the minds of many makers is whether or not the Raspberry Pi Pico is better than Arduino?
That depends. Pound-for-pound, higher-end Arduino boards like the Portenta H7 make the Pico look like a toy. However, the steep cost for a board of that caliber might be a tough pill for the microcontroller hobbyist to swallow. That's why the smaller price tag on the Pico makes it a win for makers who enjoy low-risk experimentation.
Along with minimal cost, the Raspberry Pi jams an extensive feature set into the Pico, comparable to boards like the Teensy LC, and the ESP32. But neither of these competitors manage to challenge the budget-friendly Pico on price.
That's what makes the Pico such a fantastic value, and a great choice for hobbyists and power users alike.
The Pi Pico: What’s Not To Love?
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, to drive the price of the Pico down, Raspberry Pi had to make a few compromises. The most notable of which is the lack of an onboard radio module. Neither Bluetooth nor Wi-Fi is supported without add-ons.
The Wi-Fi limitation can be eliminated by adding a module like the ESP-01. Bluetooth support may prove a bit more challenging. If you need an all-in-one solution for your products, you’re better off skipping the Pico, and spending a little extra for something like the Pi Zero W, or ESP32.
Additionally, many early adopters are complaining about the lack of GPIO labeling on the top of the board. Raspberry Pi provides an extensive amount of documentation on its website to address this, but pointing-and-clicking, or thumbing through paperwork when you have a hot soldering iron in your hands isn’t often desirable.
Lastly, the lack of I/O pin headers is something of an issue for some, as it means less convenience when swapping I/O components. This minor annoyance can be solved via the use of leads, soldering the component wiring directly to the Pico, or using a breadboard.
If you’ve been using microcontrollers or small electronics for any period of time, then an unpopulated board is most likely a non-issue. Of course, you could also add your own pin headers if you plan on regular experimentation with different external components.
The final rub with the Pico is the micro-USB port. With many other microcontrollers like the Portenta H7 moving toward USB-C, Raspberry Pi's micro-USB port seems dated.
Logically however, the decision to use micro-USB makes sense. It was done by Raspberry Pi to keep costs as low as possible, and to keep interface capability almost universal. Everyone we know has at least a few micro-USB cables tucked away somewhere in their homes.
However, with future versions, a USB-C interface would be a nice addition to an already spectacular package.

Programming the Raspberry Pi Pico
Interfacing with the Pi Pico can be done via C/C++, or via MicroPython in the Read-Eval-Print-Loop or REPL (pronounced “Reh-pul”). The REPL is essentially a command line interface that runs line-by-line code in a loop.
In order to access the REPL, you’ll need to install MicroPython onto the Pico. This process is simple and only involves four steps.
Installing MicroPython
Download MicroPython for Raspberry Pi Pico from the Raspberry Pi Website
Connect the Pico to your computer via micro-USB while holding the BOOTSEL button
Wait for the Pico to appear as an external drive
Copy the MicroPython file to the Pi Pico, and it will automatically reboot
You can access the REPL in a number of ways. We used the screen command in a macOS terminal window to access the serial bus connected to the Pico. To accomplish this with Terminal, you’ll first open a new terminal window, then type ls /dev/tty*
Tumblr media
From there, find the port where the Pico is connected. It should be labeled something like /dev/tty.usbmodem0000000000001. Then run the command:
screen /dev/tty.usbmodem0000000000001
Your cursor should change. Hit Return and the cursor will change again to >>>.
In the image below we've included the classic Hello World (Hello, Pico) command-line program in the REPL, along with a few lines of code that will turn the Pico's LED on and off. Feel free to try them yourself.
Tumblr media
For more information, we recommend you invest in the official starter guide to MicroPython that Raspberry Pi has published on their website.

Using the Raspberry Pi Pico With Thonny
Tumblr media
If you’re looking for a more proper coding environment, the Raspberry Pi Pico will also allow access to the REPL with Thonny. To enable this feature, first download and install Thonny. Once installed, connect your Pi Pico. Open Thonny and you'll see information indicating your Pico is connected in the Shell.
At the bottom right of the screen, you should see a version of Python. Click this version and select MicroPython (Raspberry Pi Pico) from the drop-down menu.
Now you can type commands into the Shell, or you can use Thonny’s editor to write or import multiple lines of code.
The abundance of interface possibilities make the Raspberry Pi Pico easy to program. For those who are familiar with MicroPython, this should be nothing new. For beginners, however, Thonny provides a powerful interface and debugger to get started with programming.

Should I Buy the Raspberry Pi Pico?
The Raspberry Pi Pico is a powerful budget board that is perfect for hobbyists, or makers just starting out with microcontrollers. The documentation, low cost, and wide range of possibilities for the Pico also make it a great choice for seasoned small electronics wizards. If you’re a DIYer who loves to tinker, or you just want to challenge yourself to a weekend project, then you’ll love playing with the Pico.
On the other hand, if you don't have one or more projects in mind that need a microcontroller, then this board is probably not for you. Also, if your project needs Wi-Fi connectivity or Bluetooth, then the Pico won’t scratch that itch. And finally, for users who aren’t comfortable learning MicroPython, or exploring C/C++, the Pico isn't ideal. And remember: this Raspberry Pi is not like the others. It will not run a full Linux operating system.
But, if you dream in Python, or if you love the smell of solder, then you won't regret grabbing this tiny powerhouse. Most of all, if the sight of the sports-car-sleek RP2040 gets your creative gears turning, then we think you’ll really benefit from picking up the Pico.
Serving up Several Sweet Possibilities
While it isn’t perfect, the Raspberry Pi Pico is a strong entry into the world of microcontrollers. The reputation that Raspberry Pi has built for quality electronic components at a relatively low price extends to the Pico.
It’s everything a Raspberry Pi should be: small, sweet, and superb. It’s beautifully designed, and extremely inexpensive. But the best part isn’t the looks or the low cost.
The best part about this small wonder is picking it up, and holding it in your hands. It's feeling the tug of electronic inspiration. It's realizing just how powerful the Pico is, and what it means for microcontrollers going forward.
And truthfully, we think it's amazing that something as small as the Pico can offer so many unique possibilities.
