Released on the 21st January 2021, the Raspberry Pi Pico is the 1st Microcontroller Development Board from Raspberry Pi Foundation.

What is Raspberry Pi Pico? A Microcontroller Development Board
What are the differences between the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and this Raspberry Pi Pico? Well basically, Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is a motherboard or single-board computer where you can use it to play games, work, record data, browse the Internet, watch movies, like a media player, and many more. Raspberry Pi Pico is not designed to replace the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (or similar board), it is more for physical computing projects where it controls anything from small electronic components, LEDs, motors; reading information from sensors, or communicate with other microcontrollers.

Thanks a million, I could not find out how to install Micro Python on Thonny and you do an excellent job with all the detail information. PS I had to change speed to 0.75 to follow it!

Pin *25* DOES NOT WORK on a *Pi Pico W, * you have to use *"LED"* if using Thonny.

super... what is the capacity of resistor (in ohms) and led?

[far-red]

how is this different from arduino micro? except for language, seems the same, except you can store the .py file on the device..
so there is some difference, somehow very interesting, gonna try to order one from cytron...

Does the Pico board come with the pins?

[nargalda]

advanced pro tip, you can program and use LED directly on pico for this blinking

my uncle works as PCB's makers in cytrontech he gives me free raspberry pi pico for me
