Getting Started with Raspberry Pi Pico - Basic Tutorials to Learn Working with Raspberry Pi Pico Board

Recently Raspberry Pi Foundation introduced us to a microcontroller board, the Raspberry Pi Pico which comes with the Raspberry Pi Foundation's own silicon chip RP2040. The Raspberry Pi Pico is a low-cost microcontroller and its price is $4. Because it has a Dual-Core ARM processor along with GPIO & Digital/Analog peripherals, we can easily create micro to small-scale embedded applications.




Here is a list of tutorials to get started with the raspberry pi pico development board.

1. Getting started with Raspberry Pi Pico using MicroPython
This tutorial covers basic specifications and features of pico board and setting up micropython on the board.

2. Interfacing an OLED Display with the Raspberry Pi Pico Using Micropython
In this tutorial, we are going to interface an OLED display module with the Pico board. You will be able to perform an I2C communication on Raspberry Pi Pico at the end of this tutorial. Here, we are going to display some strings on an OLED display by using Micropython

3. Interfacing Ultrasonic Sensor with Raspberry Pi Pico and Displaying the distance on OLED display Using MicroPython
In this tutorial, we will interface an ultrasonic sensor with the pico board and we are going to measure the distance of an object and then we will display the distance on the OLED display module using MicroPython.

4. ADC on Raspberry Pi Pico using MicroPython - Reading ADC Value and Displaying on OLED Display Module
In this tutorial, we will use the Pico board to perform an ADC conversion. The Raspberry Pi Pico has four 12-bit ADC channels, but one of them is connected to the internal temperature sensor. The remaining ADCs are located at GPIO26, GPIO27, and GPIO28 as ADC0, ADC1, and ADC2, respectively.

5. Interfacing LCD Display with Raspberry Pi Pico using Micropython
In this tutorial we are going to interface a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) module with the Raspberry Pi Pico using Micropython. By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to display strings, characters on the LCD using Micropython.
