I have bought two Picos along with 3rd party experimenting boards and struggled for a while adjusting my thinking to programming the Pico. I have read some very wordy documents from these suppliers, possibly too quickly, and missed one or two crucial bits of information before starting my experimenting. Having watched your very clear video this morning I immediately discovered where I was going wrong and all is now well. You have done it yet again Chris, do keep producing your excellent videos!

I know, I held off buying the PyBoard (-or rather a clone-) because I though "that would be like buying the kitchen sink" [proverbial] and "seeing as I have everyting BUT the kitchen sink already, I'll probably get by". But then it was Three-pound Sixty, plus an order from either CPC or Pi/Hut¦Moroni (which was going to happen anyway). Now, seeing as I have two "Black Pills" (the lesser and the great) it was not a stretch to end up with two Picos already (from qualitatively different sources). If a system is good and keenly priced AND vulnerable to ham-fistedness in its usual use, it's probably worth having a back-up.

I don't think there has ever been a retail product that has been so affordable and yet you can do so many different things with it. In addition to microcontroller functionality, you can also use it as a directly programmable computer by installing Picomite and writing/running BASIC programs on the Pico itself via terminal software. At the default 133 MHz speed I'd estimate it's 50 times faster at interpreted BASIC than a Commodore 64. Not to mention it'll happily run at 250 MHz. The low power consumption when underclocked makes it ideal for managing my solar-powered motion sensor light system where I want to maximize battery life as much as possible. It's a great little device.

Thank you. This sort of functionality is amazing for the cost. Back You might want to make a follow on video about PLC's and machine control.

Thanks for this. Follow on video, including servo control, posts mid-May. :)

Raspberry Pi Foundation may have been concerned that including tea making functionality would have caused users to defenestrste themselves... (Father Ted reference)

Yes Chris, after that introduction to a Pico controller I am keen to see where you want to go with it. Another top video for a Sunday's evening viewing. Thanks.

Please, sir, I want more. Your explanations of this brave new world of SBCs and micro-controllers are quite facinating.

Raise your hand if you saw Monty Python instead of Micro Python when it appeared on the screen.

Excellent timing -- my Pico arrived a day ago. Coming from Arduino/ESP32 and C, your intro was spot on informative. I would look forward to another Pico project.

Thanks, Chris, very good presentation. I hope you will not stop here and go deeper explaining multicore, interruptions/irq, exceptions. memory control, stacks, registers and all other good stuff which is usually taken care by OS and now we have to do it by our self.

I actually did a kind of double-take when I saw you doing the intro. I wasn't sure of the newer blue colored background initially but I can see it was indeed a big improvement.

No tea making facilities? NO TEA MAKING FACILITIES?!?!???? This is where I draw the line. The Pi team has gone too far.

Yeah, I had to close my tab and go cool off for a few hours before finally finishing the video. smh

I love your videos! I've caught the microcontroller bug and now I need all the resources I can find!

Hi Chris, Thank you for the fine introduction to the Raspberry Pi Pico. I'd like to see more content about microcontrollers on this channel. For example: - Connecting the Pico to a classic Raspberry Pi computer. Preferably using I2C, but any protocol and connection would be fine. - Using the PIO state machines for something exciting - more LEDs! - Using interrupts on microcontrollers - The Teensy family of microcontrollers, maybe used for running ML/neural networks Please consider these topics. Thanks!

Thanks Chris. I particularly enjoyed the "cup of tea" comment! I could do with a good reason to learn python, so please do take us into the world of microcontrollers. Anything which can get processing jobs done quicker and cheaper is worth looking at, and this tiny controller looks like a great introduction to the genre

The thing i liked the most are the holders for the breadboard. This shows the real hacker spirit.
