“Not quite plug and play on MacOS - won't run MicroPython out of the box, but easy enough to install. I bought this the day they came out so support was a bit limited but looking forward to making more stuff with it.”
“Fantastic and at a price that they can be deployed without great expense.
Use case: I have a bird box that blue tits nest in. I have rigged it with an RPi camera (ZeroCam NOIR) and a Pi Zero capturing images and streaming them to our house wifi.
Adding a Pico with a light sensitive resistor that can monitor ambient light levels [day/night] using the A2D converter and we now have stage lighting! By day RGB leds gently illuminate the interior of the box controlling the brightness with PMW outputs, and by night it changes over to IR so I don't keep the dear little darlings awake. :-)
£3.60 for the controller? - Most excellent!”
“Can't fault The Pi Hut buying experience, it's a great website and speedy delivery. The Pico is great fun and I have been enjoying lower level programming with it, even though it's new there are lots of good tutorials and guides available online.”
