Meet the Raspberry Pi Pico
The Raspberry Pi Pico is a small but powerful microcontroller that lets you control real-world devices using code.
From LEDs and motors to sensors and robotics, Pico makes it possible to bring your programs to life.
What Is a Microcontroller?
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip.
- It can be programmed to perform specific tasks.
- It controls hardware like lights, motors, and sensors.
You already use them every day:
- TV remotes
- Thermostats
- Security systems
Why Raspberry Pi Pico?
- Easy to program using MicroPython
- Connects directly to your computer via USB
- Designed for hands-on, real-world projects
- Controls LEDs, motors, sensors, and more
