“I love these little boards. Tiny footprint but includes a Neopixel instead of a green LED, reset button and plenty of GPIO connections which are all clearly identified on the top face of the board. It plugs straight into the USB port on your laptop, or you can use a lead. So small and cheap you can embed them in a permanent project. Just use the RP2040 uf2 for MicroPython. You need to solder on the pins or sockets but the choice is yours.”
