Raspberry Pi Pico Basic Starter Kit With 25 Lessons

Description

The Raspberry Pi Pico is a low-cost, high-performance microcontroller board with flexible digital interfaces. And it included 25 Raspi pico projects. It features the RP2040 which marks Raspberry Pi's first microcontroller, it provides minimal external circuitry to support the RP2040 chip. Pico is born with powerful performance, reasonable price, and comprehensive resources, it will become a great platform for learning and mastering electronic knowledge.

Some Pico Starter Kit Projects

Burglar Alarm Project Adjust the infrared sensor to an appropriate distance. When a moving object appears within the detection range, control the LED to flash rapidly.	Colorful Desk Lamp Using an ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter), the analog voltage output from the potentiometer is converted into a digital signal. Then, the digital signal is converted back into an analog voltage and output through the ADC channel, achieving the effect of adjusting the brightness of the LED light.
Light Switch By determining whether the button is pressed, the decision is made on whether the LED light should turn on. When the button is pressed, the LED light will stay on for 2 seconds and then turn off.	Voltage Monitor Read the voltage output from the potentiometer through the ADC, convert it into a digital signal, and then control the LCD to display text as well as the voltage magnitude.
Traffic Light Control the red LED to be on, wait for 5 seconds, then turn on the yellow LED for 2 seconds. After that, turn off both the red and yellow LEDs simultaneously. Then, turn on the green LED for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, turn on the yellow LED for 2 seconds again, and then repeat the cycle by turning on the red LED.	Running Light When button A is pressed, the buzzer beeps once and the light turns on or off. If the light is already on, pressing button B will change the blinking pattern, and the buzzer will beep twice. Pattern one is running light, pattern two is alternate blinking and pattern three is uniform color illumination.
