I Purchased a Pico-W to drive the Waveshare 'Nixie' Clock. The Pico-W looks to be a good microcontroller though I am not convinced it is better that ESP32's. I note that Micropython is available but I am not a fan of Python with its awful syntax! I am currently trying to develop a binaries using the Pico C/C++ dev. kit and that has meant yet another SDK learning curve. Incidentally, I have found that CMake does not allow the '#' symbol in a CMakeLists.txt (quoted or unquoted) string. This means means that my files which do require the '#' will have to manually edited into either the resulting Makefile(s) or in the source code files. On balance I think I prefer ESP32 over the Rpi Pico range even though I have 25+ Rpi's (V1-4) in my net.

Given the availability problems of the raspberry pi, I thought I would try the pico w instead. I'm glad I did, as they are easy to set up and program in micro python (not tried C). I'm using the pico to monitor temperature and humidity and then communicate the results (using the sockets, library APIs in python) to a file server on an old laptop. I get my laptop to then do the heavy lifting with temperature analysis etc. This seems to be a good approach. Pico arrived quickly and is good value at £6.30

Pico is a great product. I never really cared much for mi I controllers, but this one makes it so beastly to work with. Fantastic product, I'll be coming for more :)

Quick to run code and simple to use. And the WiFi built in makes it one of the best micro controlers about.
