“Raspberry Pi Pico
Readers of Practical Electronics magazine in the UK or Silicon Chip magazine in Australia and New Zealand with be very familiar with the Micromite and the numerous projects that use it. For those not familiar with the Micromite it is a single-board computer that uses the Basic programming language and has built-in support for colour touch screens and many different types of modules. A quick Google search will offer much more detail.
Recently, the Micromite system has been ported to the Raspberry Pi Pico and is called PicoMite. The PicoMite is many times more powerful than the Micromite and with many more features. It takes seconds to set up and is ready ‘out-of-the-box’! No messing about with libraries to use colour touch screens, real-time clocks, temperature sensors, SD cards etc. – it’s all built-in.
The Raspberry Pi Pico is a lot cheaper than a Micromite system and given its extra features and performance is a ‘no-brainer’ for all existing and future Micromite / PicoMite projects.”
“The raspberry pi Pico is a great little bored with so many possibilities and so affordable. Love it, and look forward to
Using it. The Pi Hut is a great company and will not go anywhere else for my Raspberry Pi”
“What can I say, awesome bit of kit! It's an overpowered little device for a few quid. Great for small projects low powered and fast given its processing power, very flexible as it can be programmed both in C and microPython. Great for all levels and abilities. One very happy man with this device.”
