The Kitronik Discovery Kit for Raspberry Pi Pico is a great way to learn about microcontrollers, Python coding, and physical computing. The kit is supplied with all of the components needed to complete the seven included experiments, including a large-format breadboard. The kit is packaged in sturdy reusable packaging that can be used to store the kit. This version of the kit is NOT supplied with a Raspberry Pi Pico.<\/p>\n\n
The seven experiments take you from the basics of using the board through to more advanced concepts and using external electronics. The experiments cover key concepts of microcontrollers, such as; basic setup, simple coding, Interrupts, Threads, Digital Inputs, and Analog and Digital Outputs.<\/p>\n\n
The kit ships with a comprehensive guide booklet. The booklet covers the basic setup and then how to complete each of the seven experiments. Each experiment is complete with detailed circuit diagrams, explanations, and a complete code run-through. This means that you can get started without having to understand too much Python.<\/p>\n\n
The Raspberry Pi Pico board, a new low cost, high-performance microcontroller. The board features a powerful new, Raspberry Pi designed ARM-based dual-core chip-- the RP2040. The pico also features 64KB of internal RAM and support for up to 16MB of off-chip Flash. A wide range of flexible I\/O options includes I2C, SPI, and Programmable I\/O (PIO). These support endless possible applications for this small and affordable board.<\/p>\n\n
The kit is programmed using MicroPython. This is a full Python three implementation created specifically for small embedded microcontrollers, such as the Pico and the popular BBC micro:bit. You will use the Thonny editor to create your code, which can then be saved directly to the Pico from the editor via USB. Thonny is a Python Editor\/IDE designed to allow beginners to get up and running with Python coding with as little fuss as possible.<\/p>\n\n
A power pack is not required as power will be supplied via the USB connection to the computer that the Thonny editor is running on.<\/p>\n\n
Note:<\/strong> The Raspberry Pi Pico and a USB cable are not included in this kit. Please see the Hookup Accessories<\/em> section below for more options to chose from.<\/p>\n\n Includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Documents:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
