Features of the Raspberry Pi Pico
Raspberry Pis are small, versatile mini-computers that can be used for a wide range of projects. Whether it's simple tasks like streaming media or more advanced applications like building a Raspberry Pi-powered robot, the possibilities are endless! One of the newest additions to the Raspberry Pi family is the Pico RP2040.
The Raspberry Pi Pico is easily programmable with popular high-level languages such as MicroPython and C/C++. The Pico is small in size and twice as fast as its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi Zero. Additionally, it's also a formidable competitor to Arduino.
The Raspberry Pi Pico is a cost-effective and versatile controller that's perfect for a wide range of different projects. The Pico RP2040 features two powerful Cortex M0+ cores that can be clocked up to 133 MHz, and comes with 264 KB of SRAM, and 2 MB of Flash memory.
Our Raspberry Pico products: From boards to modules & books!
Mastering the Raspberry Pi Pico is done through 50 projects with MicroPython in our Raspberry Pi Pico Essentials book. This book provides a practical introduction to the world of Raspberry Pi Pico combined with this programming language.
Or opt for a 3.5-inch Waveshare touch display module with a smoother touch effect than AD-driven solutions. This touchscreen comes with development resources and manual (examples for Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ and MicroPython)
The official Raspberry Pi Pico products can be obtained directly from the manufacturer's factory thanks to an official partnership with Raspberry. This means that when Raspberry launches a new product, it can be delivered on the launch day.
