Description
Whether you're a hobbyist, student, or educator,this hands-on coursewill walk you through practical projects using the Raspberry Pi Pico. From simple LED blinking to interfacing with temperature sensors, OLED displays, and more, you'll gain confidence inembedded systems programming using both MicroPython and CircuitPython.

We'll start with the basics—setting up your development environment and understanding the Raspberry Pi Pico board. Then we dive intohardware control, GPIO, sensors, UART, ADC, andreal-world device interfacing, including the Pixy2 vision sensor. Each project is a building block, reinforcing coding fundamentals and hardware principles.

You'll get step-by-step video tutorials, real code examples,debugging tips, and reading materials to extend your knowledge. By the end of this course, you'll be equipped to create your own embedded projects and prototypes confidently.
