“Wonderful product and excellent price. As a newbie took me a while to figure out how to set it up but once you get going its an incredible learning tool. I got the Python for pico learning book to go with it and going through the exercises has been a wonderful experience. I already had breadboard and sensors which if your going to do the projects you will need. Ive learnt so much in such a short space of time I really cannot recommend this product enough. I use Phonny Python IDE via my pi4b to use my pico. Its still early days and I am already thinking about what future projects I can do myself once my knowledge base has built up.”
“Unfortunately the boot switch failed quite quickly, something more robust is required as it is frequently used for programming. Another issue which probably is not avoidable is that the various boards that use the RP2040 do not have the same pin out and so it is quite difficult to use software provided for one board on another as some of the pin usage is specified in individual suppliers board detection software which is not common to all boards.”
