Review for a second Pico board i got: I love this board! Best board to start learning electronic and Python/Micropython. Even better if mixed with a Raspberry Pi. And the board is faster than any board of the same price and even faster than board 4 time his price. You cant go wrong by picking the Pico.

I love Pico's, I coded for microcontrollers as a profession in the 1980s and 90s, it was never as easy back then as it is now using Picos and Python. So far I have made an electronic thermometer using an external thermistor and an animated display that will be incorporated into a model diorama.

Very good micro at an affordable price point. The PIO peripheral is great.

Great little controller with some unique features. For projects that don't need WiFi, it's a terrific option. MicroPython is much easier to deal with than C++, too.

It is a great board, very fast and once you have the environment set up to work with it, it is very simple to use.

My board has arrived and I'm already started doing automation tasks. The best thing is that I can easily program and integrate it with my mobile phone and use its hardware as if it was Pico hardware. Awesome little board that gives so much !

Interesting microcontroller. Very good documentation and easy to set-up for micro-python use, a very good dev choice. I have experience with arduino and ESP32 who are strong competitor with a good ecosystem. The Pico sit in between in term of $$ and feature. Futur Arduino IDE support should bring Pico on par for the existing microcontroller community.

Pimoroni came through when no one else could! Nearly every other vendor was out of stock, but I was able to order from Pimoroni and get international delivery in less than two weeks time.

Nice Raspberry pi pico and pico audio. I made the video that I make the pico audio. https://youtu.be/giZs_7-lJQA

See image .... Pico, what can I say more, all those the great reviews from others. Order pin at the same time, if using with breadboard. If you cant solder, buy the version with pins assembled. Pity they don't come with pins like other microcontrollers do, lucky I have hundreds.

As always a very goo service at a good price. Fast and efficient. And just got a keyboard and mouse from you all for under £10 with postage and they are good and work well with my Pi. Thanks.

The first impression is "heck, it is so tiny!" I have barely had time to start it up, but it is clear it has a great potential. I really hope to have time in the next days to start my first project withe the Pico.

Thanks a lot ! Time To blink With micropython With Thonny 5 minutes.. With sdk C just the time To read tuto and install it on debian Buster. It's great! ;)

I could not find this product available to ship immediately in the US so I ordered from the UK. It arrived quickly. I am so pleased to have a Raspberry Pi Pico on hand. I've been experimenting with Micro Python on it and getting ready to build my first project with one. I ordered a Pico header pack and Pico Audio Pack with it but I have not yet experimented with these components.

Received the package with the two adorable Picos ultra fast, in merely a couple of days. Both of them are working as expected. Excellent!

As usual RaspberryPi have excelled themselves and produced a great computer at an unbelievable price. I like the wireless capabilities of the ESP8266 but this little computer is much easier to program. I look forward to the next RaspberryPi Pico and hope that it also has wireless features. In the meantime I will try to think of practical applications which do not need access to the Internet.

Un nouveau Raspberry Pi très intéressant pour aborder MicroPython ou le C. Livraison ultra rapide de Pimoroni

Tiny, Cheap, and amazingly capable. Had it running the flash sample code within 10 minutes of having it. Micropython is easy to install and works really well with Thonny. Have now soldered on headers an bought some other components to make the most of it. (Breadboards, LEDs, Resistors, Switches etc...) I guess the next step will be C++, but that looks a bit more involved :) Overall an excellent introduction to the world of Microcontrollers.

Pretty easy to set up - and does what I need - controlling a relay on a time delay to water my plant, Lance :-) I've attached a pic of Lance, with his former life support, a Pi 3B. Thanks to the Pico, the 3B is freed up for my next project :-)

Does exactly what I expected. I'm a novice but with the Getting Started book from R Pi Press, I found it easy to learn to use the Pico.

Lovely little device. It can be a little complicated to get it to function correctly initially, but nothing a Youtube tutorial can't solve.

Raspberry Pi Pico was delivered by Pimoroni in a cut tape. The another one I bought from ThePiHut came in an antistatic resealable bag. Blink test shows that Pico works. As a first project I am going to replace Arduino Nano with Pico in my Si5351-based VFO that is used in a MW/SW superhet receiver.
