“Raspberry Pi Pico is by far the easiest way to start with MicroPython! Just drop the UF2 file to the Pico's virtual USB drive, connect with a terminal emulator and you are ready!
Compiling MicroPython or any other project is also quite easy.
Raspberry Pi Pico is very affordable and considering the BOM, its price is half or third of the BOM cost in small quantities.”
“Extremely easy to get started with and use the Pico. The C/C++ toolchain setup on Windows is a bit fiddly and should preferably be all GNU based without needing partial Visual Studio install. But both MicroPython and CircuitPython are no-brainers to use.
Looking forward to PlatformIO and Arduino becoming available.”
“I got it two days ago, found a time yesterday. Uploaded/booted it with a python, wrote and tried few programs and I am fully satisfied. It'l be great addition for a project to come.
Bought 3 pieces, should bought 2 more.
Great product, I can only recommend it.”
