Jumpstart the Raspberry Pi Pico

A comparison of the accuracy of the ADC in ESP32, RP2040 (Raspberry Pi Pico), and Arduino (ATmega328P). Conclusion: If you need the best ADC of the 3, go for the Arduino.

Lies, Damn Lies and Analog Inputs (comparing ADCs on ESP32, Pico and Arduino) After some inconsistent and unreliable results reading an analog input from an ESP32 board, I decided to get all scientific and do some expe...

Now I published the course "Jumpstart the Raspberry Pi Pico" also on Arbington. It is free for the first 100 sign-ups. Please let me know, what you think (and ratings are always welcome 😀). Here is the link: https://arbington.com/courses/jumpstart-the-raspberry-pi-pico/?couponCode=EARLY_BIRD

Sometimes, more keys would be nice to have (e.g. for jumping in the timeline of video editing software). Here is a project (including instructions) to add pedals controlled by your feet using the Rpi Pico: https://hackaday.io/project/181821-usb-pedal-based-on-rpi-pico

USB Pedal based on Rpi Pico USB pedals (or any other momentary switches) who emulates keyboard keypress or combination of keys. Handy to use with video edition software to pause/play without moving the hands away from the keyboard or mouse, it can also be used by videoconferencing software to mute quickly.

A (TRANSistor comPUTER) made of Picos. In earlier days, processors understood very complex instructions ( ). A solution was Reduced Instruction Set Computer ( ) in which complex tasks were broken down into easier to process instructions. Another solution was a transputer, in which a chip was produced with its OS and RAM being able to perform a specific task. Since they had a strong communication interface, multiple of the transputers (maybe with different functionalities in each chip) could be combined to built powerful workstations.

Raspberry Pi Pico Used As A Transputer You can’t fake that feeling when a $4 microcontroller dev board can stand in as cutting-edge 1980s technology. Such is the case with the working transputer that [Amen] has built using a Raspb…

It runs at up to 133MHz, is built with rich interfaces in a tiny thumb size, and fully supports Arduino, MicroPython, and CircuitPython. The onboard interfaces are enough for developing multiple applications.
