    Now we need a full single-board Arduino computer.
  • @dboyedoe
    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!
  • @gga3053
    Welcome back! Looking forward to this series!
  • @sunwukong6268
    Perfect timing my friend. I just received my first Pico, yesterday. And as I haven´t had the time to mess with it, yet...guess I am gonna start some nice music and start unpacking. I am really looking forward to your next videos. I am a total noob in this field and just start learning to tinker. Stay healthy
  • @Emilymw154
    amazing finally someone who explains stuff the way I need! Thank you
  • @johannes5000
    Dude you're amazing!! Thank you for making the "intro to pico" so enjoyable :D
  • @zille3000
    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.

    Programming Raspberry Pi with Raspberry Pi :D Glad to see you back too
  • @cheezeworm
    i was thinking of making a simple joystick and came across this video after hours of surfing the internet. well this video did a great job at showing how dead simple the pico is to get started and you might as well be a raspberry pi ambassador! now i'm gonna buy a pico to play around, cheers!
  • @calabrais
    Such a great video! Not only did you explain what the Pico is, you also gave example code to get started. Just subscribed 👍
  • @TCreatorO
    I had to turn on notifications for this channel, I havent seen you in my recommendations for literally years, I just had a projection mapping idea and remembered you made a video about it, so I looked it up and found it, double checked I was still subscribed and turned on notifications
  • @SpiritTerrarium
    This really brought a whole lot of clarity on how to use the Raspberry Pi Pico! Thanks!
  • @sharpblades117
    Thanks for the very useful vid! Glad to see programming can be nice and affordable!
  • @thomaslidke2122
    Yes! Love this content. I'm trying to find the best way to control LEDs. Pico might be the most cost effective.
  • @Solstice42
    keep up the projects - great pace and explainations

    And when the world needed him most, he returned!
