All of the core functionality is there with some added extras to allow you to control the extra hardware on the Pico. MicroPython allows you to code your microcontroller using a slightly cut down version of Python. This is a very powerful language but can be a bit awkward to use, especially if you’re new to coding. If you’ve been using Arduinos you’ll know that they are programmed in C++. With this amount of processing power and memory the Pi Pico is also able to run MicroPython. With 26 multifunction GPIO pins providing analogue inputs, UARTs, SPI, I2C, PWM and even USB support, the Pi Pico is orders of magnitude more powerful. The Pi Pico is more like an Arduino where we need to add our own code before the board can do anything.īut unlike the Arduino Uno or Nano boards with their 20Mhz processor and small memory, the Pi Pico has a powerful dual core ARM processor chip running at 133Mhz with 2MB of onboard Flash memory for your code and 264KB of static RAM for your data. This is very different from the usual Raspberry Pis which are single board computers that run a full Linux operating system. The Raspberry Pi Pico is a very cheap, but powerful microcontroller board.
