RPi Pico Projects and Circuits

This book enables the efficient use of the RPi Pico in numerous practical applications. The circuits presented bring out the special features of the Pico. Often, surprisingly few external components are needed for a task if the internal peripherals of the RP2040 are used optimally. The aim of the book is to show the simplest and most cost-effective solution for many applications. Minimalist circuits become useful projects with the right software. Compared to a common 8-bit controller, the RPi Pico offers more ports, more speed, special peripherals and an extra core that can be used to perform time-critical tasks completely uninterrupted. The book uses the Arduino programming environment because it is widely available and easy to use. You are not limited to the usual Arduino functions, but can use all the functions from the Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ Software Development Kit.
