Wow, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has been on a roll over the last year! What's their latest venture? A microcontroller! What's that, you ask? Well, lucky you! I'm about to tell you! Just sit back and watch this video and you'll never have any questions about microcontrollers and the Pi Pico ever again. Ever. Period. Maybe.

I just have to say, I'm incredibly impressed you're still kicking on this platform. I remember first finding your videos like 10-12 years ago and recently rediscovered your channel after buying a Pico. You're awesome, here's to another decade of engaging and applicable content!

Technically you can compile a C program for the ARM on the Raspberry Pi and let it boot into that ARM executable instead of the linux kernel. No boot time. That's called bare metal programming. The GPIO pinout has some special registers you can read and write to / from (ARM peripherals) - you can even use the GPU to output a framebuffer.

@ted_van_loon 2 жыл бұрын

that is great indeed, however one thing that still is a draw back to me is that it still needs a micro sd card in it at all times, or is it possible to use some storage embedded in the arm chip(if there is) or to use a cheap EEProm chip like the 24C32 EEPROM instead of a micro sd card. another thing still somewhat bothersome is to find enough libraries to make the functionalities it has work properly without very much coding.

Hey I want to get this and program it to turn on lights in my bedroom as an alarm clock. Can this be done? More details: I have a simple digital switch that turns a multi bulb lamp, and a verilux happylight. Ideally I'd like to have the lights slowly increase in brightness instead of just switching on, I can't find any satisfactory products to achieve this. I was wondering if I could write a program and have some hardware accessories to accomplish this.

Do you think this could be used for a DIY smart blinds? Just to tilt the blades, not actually pulling the blinds up? This is something I really want to make but have absolutely no knowledge of micro controller world. Just fell into watching these videos after find out how amazing these little things are.

@ssavman 2 жыл бұрын

You could probably use it to control the power circuits that drive the very simple motors required for what you're thinking. Maybe simple limit switches also.... could also go stepper motors instead, but you'd probably still want a home position switch. Obviously you'd need a photo sensor

@Miheer.Dodhia 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, i think a Rasppberry pi (normal one not Pico) would be better as you will find it easier to network. MY first python project was to turn the blinds which I did with a raspberry pi: look for github user mithras44 -> Blinds . Was my first time writing it so the python code quality isn't great but should be enough info to get started.

I received one in the post today in a flimsy plastic bag. The cheap plastic wrapping around the pico was half missing so it was half exposed (no protection from bumps or knocks) I've plugged it into 3 different machines but have had no indication of the device being recognised by any of the 3 machines. I'm wondering, do I have a broken one or am I missing something?

You're winding us up with that 2×AA battery: Any fule know that's ≤ 3V. I thought you were going to show us a BBC MicroBit: but then, of course, Arduino IS the didactic micro-controller system par excellence //thus far. (and typically gets a 9V 'PP3' battery when 'off grid', to 5V internal.) Nice pace to the vid., nice reaction to the Blink sketch (6:51), so ...."underwhelming". [Blink ═» Signs of Life. End.]
