Raspberry Pi Pico is a new affordable and high-performance microcontroller board with flexible digital interfaces. Microcontrollers are simplified computers. They do not use displays or keyboards; instead they are programmed to take their input and send their output to input/output pins. With these programmable interfaces you can light LEDs, produce sounds, send text to displays and much more.

In the book Get Started with MicroPython on the Raspberry Pi Pico you will learn to use the beginner-friendly MicroPython language to write programs and connect hardware so your Raspberry Pi Pico can interact with the world around it. With these skills you can create your own electromechanical projects, either for fun or to make life easier.

• Get your Raspberry Pi Pico set up and start using it.
• Start writing programs using MicroPython
• Control and detect electronic components
• Explore the Pico's unique programmable I/O
• Make a reaction game, an alarm, a thermometer and much more
