Please consider making videos about the PIO's. I think these are an interesting addition to a microcontroller with many great applications, but they are somewhat hard to grasp conceptually.
sir you are my tech guru mean great teacher , im an electronic engineering student and your videos are more useful to me and I appreciate your work thank you sir so much love you
I love that you're covering the new pi pico! I am trying to upgrade some of my old projects with this new board, many which use the popular nRF24L01 transceiver module. I would love to see a guide that uses these two together, like your universal RC transmitter, or a two-way terminal to terminal messenger. It looks like nobody out there as a guide with the nRF24L01 and Micro Python!?!
This is a great video! I'm thinking about making a tiny game console using one of these and a display and controller. Then I can program a few games in MicroPython, flash it to the Pico, and have a game console I can carry with me and use whenever I plug in a micro USB charging cable!
THANK YOU!!! This fixed multiple serial initialization issues I had. I am using the arduino ide, and putting a 100ms delay at the start of setup() fixed it
9:00 you say wierd but the documentation for MICRO PYTHON for pico says the 12bit ADC "samples" a value from 0-4095 and CONVERTS it to a 16bit value from 0-65535 so it behaves as other python controllers.
This is so clear to add modules and start with raspberry pi. Can you please do a session on how to use 4 wire stepper motor and hmc5883l digital compass with raspberry pi pico?
c.o steven behnke very useful info everyone should know. if you add a momentary switch to the 'run' pin and ground you can use it as a reset ,hold the new reset button, press 'boot sel' button at the same time , then release the reset, you dont need to keep replugging the usb power any more
Great video! It's nice to show people to are used to Arduino hoe to het started on the Rpi. I'm curious about the power use, the Rpi is a lot faster, but does it use a lot more power? For battery or solar powered devices this could be interesting. Thanks again!
Just reserving my comment space to edit after watching complete video 😅😂 Edit : Awesome video man. Although it looks quite impressive on paper and in first look, please use it in some projects to ensure the usability of this board. Thanks for the video, awesome. 👏😃
I found this rather odd: I have a Pi 400 and a Pi Pico, but they completely fail to communicate with each other. However, in desperation I downloaded Thonny onto my Windows computer, and it connected with the Pico instantly and works absolutely fine! 😃
Great video !! But I have a question We have I2C0 in Gp0 Gp1 We also have the same I2C0 GP16 GP17 But if I run that scan it shows only one device so the big question is Why do we have 2+ sets of i2c0 in pi pico what is the potential advantage of having it like that ?
You can choose which pins a device (like i2c) appears on - but there are only certain choices because each pin can only do so many different functions. Normally, you just configure it once in a declaration at the start of the program. I'm used to C++/Arduino, but the same presumably applies to MicroPython / CircuitPython too. Physically, the chip can do it, so it's just a question of whether the programming language gives you the option.
This seems to be on par with the esp8266, a bit late for pi to be bringing out as the esp32 S2 is available with more and for less. Following this a power consumption would be good information. Personally I don't like the compiler and manual uploading files and/on calls for things to work, I wonder if it will get porting to A ide?
Amazing video as always and waiting for your amazing projects using the pico. Just at 2:52 you say 264 but write 64 in the video. Also english is not really my thing but according to data sheets, they always state the bit in singular not plural for example 8 bit microcontroller not 8 bits
Its always interesting to watch your contents. Its always step by step and carefully explains everything in plain English. I cant remember a time i watched your video and didn't get value. Hopefully I can make great videos like you for my channel.
Very cool mate, my 3 Pico boards should be here in 3 weeks, I had to back order them but at $4 a board and $3 shipping what's not to like. Well worth waiting for. I should order another 3-4.
Amazing video.. absolutely fantastic.. Also currently I am working on my custom development board which is based on the PIC microcontroller si this video was kinda helpful
This is awesome! Thank you for doing this. I'm an absolute noob to electronics. I understand coding (that's my day job) but nothing about electronics. So I picked up a Raspberry PI 4 and this pico w controller. Getting started I see everyone using these bread boards to stage their projects w/jumpers and such but I don't understand how you decide which holes to plug stuff in. For example in your tut here I see the pi attached with other jumper wires but have no idea why they are there or why you chose those holes to plug stuff in to. Is there any tutorial out there that can help clear this up for me???
It's quite the same ARM tech as Psion and others from the 80's for those thinking it's super tech (the low price now is). I have a "NetPad" from 2001 which is speedy and I wish my power issue with it can be solved. I just like the Symbian/Epoc OS'es and have emulators (nostalgia and programming fun). The GPIO idea is very interesting to me. Also the modular constructs. Wouldn't have started with RPi stuff recently without the connection options and various modules in existence.
Hello do you know if the pico will be supported with the simulink support package ? Because that is an advantage with the nano ! It's much easier to create a control logic with simulink. Thanks man !
Nice easy to follow video, although I think I've missed something as I can't get the on board LED to light on my R Pi Pico W, despite checking all the steps on this and other resources. Any idead would be most helpful (no doubt its something simple I've missed off).
The Pi Pico ADCs look better on paper, but they're actually very noisy and non-linear, with spikes in the response that shouldn't be there. There's a design fault in the RP2040 chip that makes the ADCs only equivalent to 9 bits, and you have to give some thought to how to get a smooth 9 bit response to a smoothly varying input voltage. Also, the Ardunos all have a decent number of ADCs, while the Pi Pico only has three, and could have had four, if they'd connected that up to a GPIO pin. Not everything about the Pi Pico is better - for some applications the AVR based Arduinos are still a better choice.
That wierdness is simply due to the read_u16. It's a 12 bit ADC value being transposed into a 16 bit range u16, I.E. reading 12 bits but using 16 bits to store it, 0->65535
I recommend you to make bare metal programming videos on pi micro, means programming in c/c++ without any HAL or libraries direct register manipulating
Nice work! Could you help me? Chinese calliper data reading pi pico micropyton is the few lines of code that do this! Unfortunately, I couldn't find a sample example of such a thing anywhere!
Nice examples. How about a single relay board connected to pin 40. powering a 3.3v water pump. With a capacitive moisture sensor connected to gpio. Programmed via micro python. And get the pico to run off usb power. Be interested to see if you can make it work, or if you have problems with running pump due to power issues. Try it out
If you use MicroPython, it's possibly 4 times faster than 16Mhz Arduino. However, when you use C, the RPI Pico is significantly faster, approximately 30 times faster than when using Python. So, when using C, the RPI Pico at 133 MHz is maybe 120 times faster than the Arduino Uno at 16 MHz.
If the Pico can do all these, do we even need Rpi? Can Pico connect to my laptop wirelessly and read the code? Rpi is so expensive these days so I am trying to figure out if I can make DIY projects with Pico and my laptop alone, without Rpi. Thanks
Hello, so I have a question, what is a real life use of this technology? I want to use it as my thesis subject but I struggle to find a use for it other than it being a nice gimmick??
it would be nice if u could compare the speed in real time and not just throwing numbers like maybe using a load cell made with arduino nano and pi pico and measuring if it would make a difference in reading :D altho great video :D
You don't have to refresh the LCD all screen all the time. Only when needed on certain part of the screen so it won't worn too fast.. And also no flickering on video.. Unless you playing video on it.. It do need refresh rate... Just saying..

He may have beat him this time, but in the end... we're the winners.
What I like most about this is micropython! Programing arduino isn't easy, where as python IS very easy to learn and use and has a massive user base.
Please consider making videos about the PIO's. I think these are an interesting addition to a microcontroller with many great applications, but they are somewhat hard to grasp conceptually.

This was great, I suggest that when you finish reviewing this board to compare it with other powerful boards like the teensy 3.6
I didn't know Raspberry Pi pico would be easier than Arduino ....thanx buddy❤️
This is a good alternativ to the much more expensive PyBoard! Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic video. Now I have have a Raspberry Pi Pico. Your videos are very informative and easy to understand.
Nice vid,
Looking forward for the c++ part. Will you be covering a speedtest between python and c++ on the pico?

I get an error when I type Import machine.
You killed it once again! Great job! 👍
I'm on board with your fans, I'd love to see you do another drone using this board.
Thanks for help with new board ;)
First MicroPython board for myself.
Thank you for making this video!! I can't wait to get my pico and try these projects.
That was a really great video... And I've been interested in the pico! Thank you for this!
I was going to get an Arduino but now....... I'll ge this Raspberry pi micro controller instead, and wait for the C++ video.
Thank you!!!!!
Thanks for sharing the Thonny tutorial! It's a great tool.

But I have a question
We have I2C0 in Gp0 Gp1
We also have the same I2C0 GP16 GP17

You can choose which pins a device (like i2c) appears on - but there are only certain choices because each pin can only do so many different functions. Normally, you just configure it once in a declaration at the start of the program.

In 16 bits you have 65536 values.

Very informative getting-started video. Thanks!
Nice and clear explanation. Thanks
I always share on Twitter and Thumbs up your videos :)
Can’t wait for the C++ video
certain MicroPython routines can scale the ADC values so that they fall within a 16-bit range (2^16-1)
voltage_value=3.3*(digital_value/65535)
Been trying to get one. Great video
Thanks
