“So much tech for so little money, about the price of a cup of coffee. Soldering the headers on made me think of the old 8 bit processors like the Z80 and 6502, similar 40 pins on 0.1" pitch. Easily accessible, maker friendly tech :-)”
“Excellent addition to my collection of Raspberry Pi hardware. The upfront way in which they published a second impression of their accompanying guide to the Pico was admirable!”
“I used one to create a handbrake for my sim rig and it's fine for that, except the USB connector has come lose from the main board. It still works if I hold it down so I'll use some hot glue to see if that works, but the strength of the connector is very weak.”
“Brilliant. Wish I had taken up the Pi before know. The Pi Pico has so many possibilities. I worked with CNC's and PLC's before I retired. I haven't yet mastered python, but to date has been easier than ALL the PLC languages I have had to deal with. Lots to do and learn. This small device is incredibal.”
“This board is fantastic. I've had other micropython devices but the Pico in addition to the book has allowed me to expand my knowledge and confidence with micropython. I've now created a nice GPS logger and display.”
