What is a microcontroller? ft. Raspberry Pi Pico

I wish it had type-c cable variant, other than that perfect

What a great explanation. No-nonsense and to the point, much appreciated!

I liked this explanation. It's quite clear and useful.

Somebody is gonna make this run Doom. I don't know how, but they will.

Love the price, above all I really love the amount of effort that is being put into documentation and educational material, really disappointing it isn't fully open source silicon using RISC-V cores (hopefully that comes as the foundation gets better at this kind of thing). In the end I think this is going to bring many more people to the world of microcontrollers.

I'm absolutely in love with the RPi Pico. I bought 25 or 30 of them for different projects. And thinking about how you upload the firmwares into it, I thought that it was a wrong way of doing that; but now I realize that this is the best, avoiding the users to buy an expensive hardware programmer. I'm totally expecting the new generation of RPI Pico (version 2, maybe?) with more SRAM, 4 cores and more I/O processors (and more pins?? It could be very competitive in FPGA-related applications)... Thanks RPi Foundation!!!!!!

Could the pin numbers also be on the front of the board? They're kind of hard to see when you've soldered the board or have stuck it into a breadboard.

This is going to save so much money for makers who have been using pi zeros (a computer with half a gig of RAM!) for tiny projects that are only using a couple of GPIO pins. I like it! What kind of support does it have for small displays from the GPIO pins I wonder... I'm sensing that there will be some retro gaming projects done even off of the Pico.

Need to get one of these for my diy thermostat project, can't wait

Well done, raspberry pi never disappoints. I already own a RPI 4 and a RPI 3B, both products are amazing:)

This looks so cool, I can't wait to get one of these

Hmm, I wonder if RP2040 is Raspberry Pi's way of dipping their toes into silicon design... maybe a full-blown RPi with their own CPU (not Broadcom) in the works?

this would be a great tool to donate to highschools and trade schools.

Great presentation 👍

So in theory, could I use this as a way to add more GPIO pins to my current raspberry pi?

I'm incredibly excited about this! Can't wait to pick one up! Congrats on the launch!

Im in love with pico

This is revolutionarily great. Love it! This will be big.

when you write program, does it save forever on the pico or the pc storage

Love you guys. :)
