Overview: This book will teach you Python programming and some basic electronics without assuming any prior knowledge of either subject. The book initially focusses on Python programming, building up a Morse Code example using the Raspberry Pi Pico’s built-in LED. Once you have mastered the basics of coding the Pico, the book will introduce electronics, showing you how to use sensors, switches, LEDs, servomotors and displays attached to your Pico. The Raspberry Pi Pico (let’s just call it a Pico) is not a regular computer, but rather a microcontroller. That is, it is not intended for general purpose computing but rather it is designed to help you make electronic projects—to, if you like, be the brain of such projects. For example, a Pico might be pressed into service to make a robot, controlling motors and a loudspeaker to make sounds, or it might be used to display temperature or other sensor readings on a small LCD screen. While an Arduino is programmed in the lean and efficient programming language C++ (which you can also use on the Pico), the Pico’s dual-core ARM processor is capable of running the more memory-hungry Python language, that is the most popular programming language in the world and widely used by educators.
