Pico RP2040

Program, build, and master over 50 projects with MicroPython and the RP2040 microprocessor The Raspberry Pi Pico is a high-performance microcontroller module designed especially for physical computing. Microcontrollers differ from single-board computers, like the Raspberry Pi 4, in not having an operating system. The Raspberry Pi Pico can be programmed to run a single task very efficiently within real-time control and monitoring applications requiring speed. The ‘Pico’ as we call it, is based on the fast, efficient, and low-cost dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ RP2040 microcontroller chip running at up to 133 MHz and sporting 264 KB of SRAM, and 2 MB of Flash memory. Besides its large memory, the Pico has even more attractive features including a vast number of GPIO pins, and popular interface modules like ADC, SPI, I²C, UART, and PWM. To cap it all, the chip offers fast and accurate timing modules, a hardware debug interface, and an internal temperature sensor. The Raspberry Pi Pico is easily programmed using popular high-level languages such as MicroPython and or C/C++. This book is an introduction to using the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller in conjunction with the MicroPython programming language. The Thonny development environment (IDE) is used in all the projects described. There are over 50 working and tested projects in the book, covering the following topics: Installing the MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico using a Raspberry Pi or a PC Timer interrupts and external interrupts Analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) projects Using the internal temperature sensor and external temperature sensor chips Datalogging projects PWM, UART, I²C, and SPI projects Using Wi-Fi and apps to communicate with smartphones Using Bluetooth and apps to communicate with smartphones Digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) projects All projects given in the book have been fully tested and are working. Only basic programming and electronics experience is required to follow the projects. Brief descriptions, block diagrams, detailed circuit diagrams, and full MicroPython program listings are given for all projects described. Readers can find the program listings on the Elektor web page created to support the book.

Unlike other Raspberry Pi boards, the Raspberry Pi Pico does not have a built-in video output.However, thanks to programmable IO (PIO) and this Pico DVI Sock, it is possible to add a DVI video output to the Raspberry Pi Pico!The Pico DVI Sock was developed by Luke Wren, a Raspberry Pi engineer, in his spare time. He has published the design online under a CC0 license, so everybody can build the hardware from his provided files.The physical video interface of the Pico DVI Sock is an HDMI connector, but it outputs a DVI signal. Historically, HDMI is a successor to DVI – so DVI signals can be simply transmitted using HDMI. Simple passive adapters allow you to connect HDMI cables to a DVI port.The DVI Sock can be soldered to one end of the Raspberry Pi Pico. Thanks to the castellated edges of the Pico, soldering is very easy. Let your creativity run wild with an additional digital video output on the Pico.Here are some suggestions / possible project ideas: Mini game console based on the Raspberry Pi Pico Output of measurement values on a monitor
