The kit is supplied with all of the components needed to complete the 7 included experiments, including a large-format breadboard. The Pi Pico is also included in the kit and comes pre-fitted with pin headers, so no soldering required! The kit is packaged in sturdy reusable packaging that can be used to store the kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit ships with a comprehensive guide booklet. The booklet covers the basic setup and then how to complete each of the 7 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the kit is 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit is programmed using MicroPython. This is a full Python 3 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA power pack is not required as power will be supplied via the USB connection to the computer that the Thonny editor is running on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNote:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA USB cable is NOT supplied, \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/usb-a-to-microb-cable-red\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ebut you can pick one up here\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo soldering required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis kit offers a great introduction to microcontrollers, Python coding, and physical computing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake the 7 experiments in the step-by-step tutorial book and learn as you go.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll parts are included to conduct the 7 experiments, including the Raspberry Pi Pico.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe kit is supplied with a detailed booklet that covers setup and then how to complete the 7 experiments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe experiments explore;
