“Excellent book, working through the exercises with my 13 Yr old daughter and each one is easy to follow and rewarding when completed. There is very good explanations of both the hardware and the software.”
“The RP2040 is incredibly powerful compared to what I used many years ago (Z80 and 8051), which I programmed in assembler and C. And yet cheap enough to use as a dedicated logic unit for simple functions. MicroPython is my first experience of object-oriented programming, and it's a challenging change of mindset (at my age anyway) - there's a lot to take in - Python, Micro-Python and the RP2040 itself. The book is a useful starter, but the challenges are mainly simple modifications of the examples: there's a big step up from there to developing bespoke applications that use more of the RP2040 controller's power. But it's more than enough to pique my interest.”
“I haven't used this much yet, but I've flicked through and it has some good example projects. It also assumes almost no knowledge of what you are doing, right down to telling you how to open a program. So it's perfect for even the most beginner of programmers!”
