“Great for beginners as an introduction to the Pi Pico and MicroPython. The one thing I would have added is a list for the MicroPython commands including those in the libraries, with a brief description. The book does references other information but it can be a trawl to find what you are after.”

“Covers basics of soldering etc.. Not what I would recommend for kids - age dependant, but good for what it shows. Haven't gone through it all, but may be needs some more of the 'basic'. I may have missed it, but libraries needed for programs, pip install, pip3 install, github -... I have struggled with some of this, some programs run, some do not. This is 'python', lots of flavours. Would be nice to have a concise how to guide.”

“generally OK but some discrepancy between the pin numbering given in the pinout guide at appendix B and the article on a temperature Gauge given in Chapter 8.”

“There is no index, no basic explanations on PWM, PIO, etc. Also, there are no setup instruction for C++. Kids can definitely code in C++. It is very good at giving soldering advice, and making sure all types of people are represented. It's got a lot of good material, I was just hoping for a bit more on the specifics side. The index is a big deal for me.”

“Attractively styled book intended for a much younger audience than my ‘aged tinkerer’ generation. When I ordered my copy it was out of stock and by the time my copy had arrived, I had resolved many of the questions I needed answers for. Looking forward to a more mature ‘cookbook’ publication for this exciting device.”
