In this article we look at a 1.3inch OLED Display Module For the Raspberry Pi Pico from waveshare, it measures 64×128 Pixels, it uses SPI/I2C Interface. It is a 1.3″ OLED Display Module which uses a SH1107 Driver and has a SPI or I2C bus…

In this article we look at the Pico Unicorn, this board provides 112 RGB leds which are arranged in a 16×7 matrix, there are also 4 buttons available on the board for your usage. The four switches are wired up as SW_A, SW_B, SW_X, and SW_Y. Programming the Pico Unicorn…

The Maker Pi RP2040 board is aimed at robotics with features such as a 2-channel DC motor driver, 4 servo motor ports, 7 Grove I/O connectors, and lots of LEDs connected to the I/O pins which can be used for troubleshooting. The DC motor driver…

In this article we will display a digital clock using a Pico Scroll Pack Getting started The labels on the underside of Pico Scroll Pack will show you which way round to plug it into your Pico – just match up the USB port with…

In this article we look at the Pico Scroll Pack which 119 white LEDs in a tidy 17×7 matrix, as well with four tactile buttons for interacting with your Pico. The brightness of each LED is individually controllable an d its ideal for a text…

In this article we look at the Pico Display Pack which is an 18-bit capable 240×135 pixel IPS display. The pack also has four tactile buttons and an RGB LED that you can use as an indicator.   Features 1.14” 240×135 pixel IPS LCD screen…

In this example we connect a PCF8574 expander to a Raspberry Pi Pico Description This 8-bit input/output (I/O) expander for the two-line bidirectional bus (I2C) is designed for 2.5-V to 6-V VCC operation. The PCF8574 device provides general-purpose remote I/O expansion for most microcontroller families…

In this article we connect a DS18b20 module to a Raspberry Pi Pico and we will use micropython to display the temperature returned from the  module. I used the following DS18b20 module Specifications The following is from the datasheet The DS18B20 digital thermometer provides 9-bit…

In this article we connect a WS2812 module to a Raspberry Pi Pico and we will use micropython to display various colours on the module. The WS2812 can also be known as neopixels, this is Adafruit’s naming of the module I used the following WS2812…

In this article we present our first micropython example on a Raspberry Pi Pico, rather than just use the default example to flash an LED, we will connect an RGB led up to. Tri-color LEDs contain three different LED emitters in one case. Each emitter…
