Raspberry Pi Pico W LESSON 2: Understanding and Using Breadboards

You guys can help me out over at Patreon, and that will help me keep my gear updated, and help me keep this quality content coming:

In this class we will be using the Sunfounder Raspberry Pi Pico W Keppler Kit. It will make things a lot easier if we are working on identical hardware. the link below is to amazon, and is for the identical hardware I will be using in this entire class.

In this introductory video, I will show you how to build your first circuit using the breadboard, and connecting it to the Pico W. We will blink an external LED from the Pico W. My goal is not to 'Show Off', but to genuinely teach you how you can do this type of work and projects on your own. Enjoy!

Hello Paul, I'm an old (72) engineer from Sweden, who has been working with hardware electronics all my life. Right now I'm following your lessons on the Arduino and I think you are a great teacher. When I saw you were going to start teaching the Pico W, I said "I'm in". I made my kids get me a Kepler Kit for Christmas. I have done my assignments but I have to get my son teach me that It shouldn't be impossible if you know how.

Wow, these are some great lessons, thank you very much!
I am French (46 years old) and I bought a Pi Pico w card 5 months ago. I watched tutorials in French to learn how to operate this card, but even after several days of trying, I could never get this green LED to work! Disappointed, unmotivated, I gave up and moved on!
About a week ago, I slowly started learning python again with YouTube courses in English and a few days ago I had the idea of ​​also looking for courses in English for the pi pico w and j card. I found your videos. Incredible, even if I don't have a good level of English, as you speak quite slowly, I understand everything and... and... I managed to make the LED flash!!! Wow, incredible, awesome.
Thank you very much for your lessons, it made me want to continue learning how to use this card and I hope to be able to do something beautiful with it.
I can't wait to discover the next lessons. Thank you very much for your work!

Hi Paul! Thank you so much for posting these videos. You have inspired me to finish my degree. I’m a 26 year old mom to a two year old. I have found my spark again! You are amazing ❤

Your comment at the end of the video is actually quite convicting. I shared it with my boys.

We need more people doing Engineering and fewer people sitting around watching silly cat videos.

I brute-forced this assignment by turning the light on and off for each dit and dah with the dahs being 3 times the length of the dits. It was good enough that my wife could actually see the pattern. Thanks for this most-excellent lesson on building Pico W circuits.

Paul I think you're an awesome teacher for making my son soo interested.

[ruchirnagar]

Hello,
I had been waiting for this series for quite some time.
Glad to see that you are explaining all topics in depth & starting from scratch.

GREAT INTRO TO BREADBOARDS AND WIRING A CIRCUIT USING A PICO W!

Mahalo Uncle Paul. Mhy son is super excited to use the fan in the kit, it just arrived last night and coded your first video today.

[Guiotine]

Loving these videos I felt like a genius when my light began to blink! Keep um coming.

[romantercero]

This is so exciting! I had not done any electronics since college and this is so simple and fun!

[iannismccluskey]

I'm just starting to use Raspberry Pico and your channel seems promising. I'll subscribe and continue watching your lessons. Thanks a lot.

[ThomasSundling]

Paul does a great job. I am watching two different lesson plans.

[WACkZerden]

recently got a PICO+breadboard, and these are exactly the things I am wondering! SUBSCRIBED!
Thank You for providing quality lessons! I am excited to checkout Your Raspberry Pi series.

[edSabio]

Thanks Paul! I had a problem with the USB cable which was bad. it took a while to find. I had another cable I had brought from the US.
will work on homework next. Your lessons never disappoint and feel good to be able to follow them.

Hello Paul. Thank you for the awesome videos and tutorials. My children and I are just getting started on this series together.

Just as a heads-up, on the on the Kelper kit website, Lesson 2 is linked to the wrong video.

P.S. I am a slacker and I didn't do the homework. Which according to your comment, I folded up easier than a cheap Wal-Mart chair. 😀

Lots of love from India 🇮🇳. You made my life easy 😊

[greenfoodpower]

Very exciting style!! Thank you Paul!!
