Pinouts of Raspberry Pi Pico module

The Raspberry Pi Pico module is equipped with 26 GPIO pins, which include: 2x SPI, 2x I2C, 2x UART, 3x ADC 12-bit, 16x PWM. An additional 8 IO (PIO) pins are provided to support custom peripherals.

Power supply for Raspberry Pi Pico

The microUSB connector is used to power and communicate the Raspberry Pi Pico board with the computer. A 5 V power supply is required for the module to work properly. The board can also be powered from VSYS pin with 1.8 V to 5.5 V  using e.g. 3.7 V Li-Pol battery or 3x AA battery.

The logic part of the Raspberry Pi Pico operates at 3.3 V.

Programming the Raspberry Pi Pico

Raspberry Pi Pico is programmed in C/C++ or MicroPython. To upload a program to the board, press and hold the BOOTSEL button and connect the Raspberry Pi Pico to the computer via a microUSB cable. The module will be detected as a USB mass storage device named RPI-RP2, the program file should be dragged and dropped in the RPI-RP2 volume. The manufacturer provides an SDK repository for the C language.

Pierwsze kroki z MicroPython

First steps with MicroPython

The Raspberry Pi Pico can be programmed by connecting it to a computer via USB cable by dragging and dropping a file. A downloadable UF2 file has been prepared to help you get started with MicroPython.

  • Download the MicroPython UF2 file.
  • Press and hold the BOOTSEL button and connect the board to the USB port of your Raspberry Pi or computer.
  • Release the BOOTSEL button once the Pico is connected to your computer.
  • The Raspberry Pi Pico will be mounted as a storage device with the RPI-RP2 volume.
  • Drag and drop the MicroPython UF2 file onto the RPI-RP2 volume.
  • Pico will restart, now MicroPython will be used.
  • You can access the REPL and MicroPython through the serial USB port.

Download the UF2 file.

Hello World in C/C++

The first program written by any programmer is "Hello World", in this case via the Raspberry Pi 4B's USB serial port.

  • Download the UF2 "Hello World" file.
  • Press and hold the BOOTSEL button and connect the Raspberry Pi Pico to the Raspberry Pi USB port.
  • The board will be mounted as a storage device with the RPI-RP2 volume.
  • Drag and drop the UF2 file into the RPI-RP2 volume.
  • Pico will restart.
  • Open a terminal on the Raspberry Pi 4B and run the commands:
    sudo apt install minicom
    minicom -b 115200 -o -D /dev/ttyACM0
    
  • You should see "Hello World" written out in the terminal window.

Download the UF2 file.

Check the code.

Still in the testing phase.
Szymon 31.01.2024 Confirmed purchase Translated review
Amazing what a microcontroller can do at such a low price. In terms of community support, it's like the new Arduino Uno, but at a fraction of the cost.
Arkadiusz 29.01.2024 Confirmed purchase Translated review
Super.

great equipment. Conforms to the description and has many possibilities for its size.

Tomasz 11.07.2023 Confirmed purchase Translated review
Used as an additional MCU/input shaper, it fulfills its role, a small board and a lot of possibilities :)
Emil 24.06.2023 Confirmed purchase Translated review
A product worth its price. For less than PLN 24 we have an MCU that can really do a lot, has a lot of FLASH memory for saving measurement results (when using the Rpy Pico as a kind of data logger), and it is small and has low power consumption. The Thonny+MicroPython environment is also very friendly for learning MCU programming for beginners. One thing that annoys a bit - microUSB connector and not USB-C. In my opinion, since it's a fairly new MCU, they could at least equip it with a connector that is now standard.
Janusz 31.05.2023 Confirmed purchase Translated review
I have been experimenting with RaspberryPi PIco for a long time and I like this invention. Programming is simple and effective for many different external devices. I am happy to use MMBasic (PicoMite) and the TeraTerm terminal, and the web support for this solution is very good. I hope that someday in the product description information will be added about the possibility of programming this version of Raspberry also in Basic.
Szymon 28.05.2023 Confirmed purchase Translated review
Price to quality 10/10
Jacek 22.05.2023 Confirmed purchase Translated review
It works. The ADC could be a bit better, but for the price there is nothing to be picky about.
Sebastian 18.05.2023 Confirmed purchase Translated review
I recommend
Janusz 05.04.2023 Confirmed purchase Translated review
RaspberryPi Pico is a small-sized controller with very large possibilities. Small is beautiful, I program in MMBasic (PicoMite). RaspberryPi Pico works very well with many types of screens, with a whole lot of sensors, receivers and transmitters, as well as with a piezoelectric transducer. Thousands of topics, a great adventure at an affordable price.

much better than arduino; it takes a lot of time to get started with getting a good grasp of the software (installation + SDK), but all the information you need is on the web
