Raspberry Pi Pico: 10 Things You Might Not Know

#Pico #PiPico #RaspberryPiPico
In this video, we take a look at 10 Things You Might Not Know about the new $4 Microcontroller from the team over at the Raspberry Pi Foundation. We'll take a look at using the Pico as a USB Device for Machine Learning, as well as compare the specs of the Pico to the Apollo 11 Guidance Computer.

What I really liked about this video was that Ryan went right to the point. No fluff, no filler. Subscribed.

Great presentation Ryan, I find the fact that the £3.60 Pico is massively superior to the Apollo guidance computer in every regard somewhat scary and goes some way to explain how current rockets can land back on earth vertically on a small landing pad for re-use!

Good videao, mate. 10 new things learned. Glad i watched. Usually I skip vids like „10 things you did wrong when washing up your dishes“. Usually click bait.

4:20 You can also consider that the pico is almost 50 times more (computational) power than the GameBoy advance! Or 40 times more powerful than the [Nintendo] NES

Holly Pie, The Pi Zero can consume 100 Mega What ? at 2:50
Must be a mistake, but a funny one.

Very nice presentation of the Pi Zero.

I'm a fan of the in-built clock, I could have used that in a nano a lot....

[eternaldoorman]

F'ing awesome video. I didn't know any of this before!

[smyrtgyz]

Thank you for sharing your time with us.

The pico can be reset by connecting the RUN pin to ground instead of removing and then connecting the USB connection. The RUN pin IS the reset input. Easy to connect by a smal switch.

Way to many doesn't know this...

Hi All, thank you for watching! Let me know in the comments below what other Raspberry Pi Pico related video you'd like to see.

My first impression is that this is a ridiculously large amount of CPU power to use for simple things -- but it only costs $4 -- and here's an analogy.

Suppose a blacksmith from 150 years ago were brought to a modern machine shop. He'd think we were terribly wasteful, using metals that were a lot stronger than needed, and parts that were a lot more precisely made than necessary. But that's modern technology. And it's the same way with microcontrollers. Often the lowest total cost is to use a CPU vastly more powerful than strictly necessary. It makes development easier!

In addition to the languages ... i just startet with the Pico using MMBasic ;-)

[andrewtoogood]

Sleep current of 1ma is terrible! its 50 to 100 times more than most popular micro controllers, obviously not designed to be used with batteries for long periods of time.

[iuwcplg]

was gonna dislike it if it did not tell anything related to nasa as it was in the thumbnail, but liked the video at the end. no clickbait -> like.

[neolomo]

About the Real-Time Clock, Pico seems that no pins for the battery. Blue Pills (STM32F103) had the Vb for the battery, when the main power is removed.

[Solstice]

Nicely done - only knew two or three of these factoids, so thanks!

[notsure]

Thanks for the educational video. I knew about most of this stuff, but there was some information that I learned from watching.

[NASCOCK]

Brilliant mate! I'm using my RPi Pico to weight homebrewed beer kegs to determine how much I've poured! Seems like such a waste for a such a powerful device, but at $4.00 US, I'll just get more!

2:51 Did you say... Megawatts? That was funny XD
