“These are extremely useful small boards for monitoring sensors. I use them with sensors for temperature, pressure, electrical current and wifi monitoring where low use wifi data transmission is extremely useful. However be careful to have an interrupt ability to get out of a running main.py program. I use a connection from one of the IO pins to ground to rename main.py.”
“These (I bought a few) arrived well packaged, intact and operational, so no complaints there.
I nearly took off a star because the delivery experience wasn't great, but that was Royal Mail's fault - poor tracking system, poor customer service, etc. - so I decided not to. The Pi Hut have always been great, and when I told them of the Royal Mail issue, they were helpful and reassuring, so can't ask for much more.”
“Using it to learn Python and electronic mechanisms and it sure is great for it.
Connect it to a breadboard and it soon becomes a great SBC to either try your first ever LED blinker or your own mini robot.
Having a wireless connection allows you to develop your own technology without having the Pico connected to your computer with a cable.
That may not sound like much but when you are developing a reversing ultrasonic sensor for your car and you want to do adjustments without having to remove everything or creating a medium sized servo mechanism controlled gyroscopically then it does make it a lot easier. Especially since you want it to switch on and run without any input.
With a bit of imagination, you can make anything you want (within reason of course).
All in all, a great board for beginners and pro's alike.”
