I just have to say, I'm incredibly impressed you're still kicking on this platform. I remember first finding your videos like 10-12 years ago and recently rediscovered your channel after buying a Pico.

You're awesome, here's to another decade of engaging and applicable content!

Now we need a full single-board Arduino computer.

Technically you can compile a C program for the ARM on the Raspberry Pi and let it boot into that ARM executable instead of the linux kernel. No boot time. That's called bare metal programming.
The GPIO pinout has some special registers you can read and write to / from (ARM peripherals) - you can even use the GPU to output a framebuffer.

Programming Raspberry Pi with Raspberry Pi :D Glad to see you back too

Perfect timing my friend. I just received my first Pico, yesterday. And as I haven´t had the time to mess with it, yet...guess I am gonna start some nice music and start unpacking. I am really looking forward to your next videos. I am a total noob in this field and just start learning to tinker.

Stay healthy

Welcome back! Looking forward to this series!

[cheezeworm]

i was thinking of making a simple joystick and came across this video after hours of surfing the internet. well this video did a great job at showing how dead simple the pico is to get started and you might as well be a raspberry pi ambassador! now i'm gonna buy a pico to play around, cheers!

[Fisheatpho]

All I gotta say is wow. You made it so easy to understand for a true beginner. Thank you!!

[calabrais]

Such a great video! Not only did you explain what the Pico is, you also gave example code to get started. Just subscribed 👍

[Emilymw]

amazing finally someone who explains stuff the way I need! Thank you

[AlyssaGeology]

I'm new to micropython and using a raspberry pi pico, this was very helpful. thanks!

[johannes]

Dude you're amazing!! Thank you for making the "intro to pico" so enjoyable :D

[SpiritTerrarium]

This really brought a whole lot of clarity on how to use the Raspberry Pi Pico! Thanks!

[TCreatorO]

I had to turn on notifications for this channel, I havent seen you in my recommendations for literally years, I just had a projection mapping idea and remembered you made a video about it, so I looked it up and found it, double checked I was still subscribed and turned on notifications

[thomasm]

Beautifully clear and simple explanation. Thank you.
The puns were truly awful. You should take pride in that fact.

[acquabr]

Very good and easy to follow video. Thanks very much...

[stillrabit]

And when the world needed him most, he returned!

[skankhunt-efvw]

I love when you started blinking when you said "The blink example"

[thomaslidke]

Yes! Love this content. I'm trying to find the best way to control LEDs. Pico might be the most cost effective.

bro please do classes lol yur the most understandable mirco controller youtuber yet
