This is an RP2040:bit Board Based On Raspberry Pi Microcontroller RP2040 but is the same size and pinout as the BBC Micro:bit Features On-board W25Q16 16M flash Memory chip On-board 5×5 LED matrix, each LED can be programmed separately. On-board two programmable buttons. You get…

In this example we use LEDs connected to the following pins – 16,17,18,19,20,21,22,26,27,28 to create the knight rider effect I tested this with cytron maker pi pico as it has LEDs connected to all the outputs Schematic If you want to build its fairly simple,…

The RP2040 PiZero development board is a board in the ever popular Raspberry PI Zero form factor, but at its heart is the RP2040 SoC from Raspberry PI. We get the same dual-core Arm Cortex M0+ CPU running at 133 MHz and 264KB of SRAM.…

In this article we connect the ever popular DHt11  Temperature & Humidity Sensor to a raspberry Pi Pico and we will then display the temperature and humidity to the repl window in Thonny using micropython Now the DHT11 is not the fastest or most impressive…

In this article we connect an Ultrasonic ranging module  to a raspberry Pi Pico Features Ultrasonic ranging module HC – SR04 provides 2 cm – 400 cm non-contact measurement function, the ranging accuracy can reach to 3 mm. The modules includes ultrasonic transmitters, receiver and control…

In this article we look at another CD option for your Raspberry Pi Pico,its a 1.8 inch LCd with dimensions of 128 x 160 and is based on the ST7735 IC. There are many variants of the LCD that use this driver ic. This is…

In this article we connect a LTR-559 3-axis Light and Proximity Sensor to the Raspberry Pi Pico Sensor Information This light and proximity sensor detects light over a wide dynamic range (0.01 lux to 64,000 lux) and proximity within a short range of ~5cm. The…

In this article we connect a MMC5603 3-axis AMR magnetic sensor to the Raspberry Pi Pico Sensor Information The MMC5603NJ is a monolithic complete 3-axis AMR magnetic sensor with on-chip signal processing and integrated digital bus (I2C fast mode and I3C interface), the device can…

In this article, we look at a board from SBcomponents that combines an RP2040 in a Raspberry Pi Zero format. The StackyPi is a compact RP2040-based development board with the same physical kind factor and pin layout as the Raspberry Pi Zero, this allows you…
