Issue #347 - Getting to know your Raspberry Pi Pico

Blink on Pico

Howdy,

We’re getting back to normal [what is this? – Ed.] after the explosion of excitement Raspberry Pi Pico brought. Now we’re able to share some cool things you can do with our first ever microcontroller.

Newbies can get started by learning how to blink an LED on their Pico. Or you might want to add a reset button to streamline uploading new code to your board, without the need to unplug and re-plug. Plus dozens more projects from our community.

We’ve also got the code to recreate your own Tron-style minigame, and an opportunity for young makers to share their coolest projects.

If you want to get your hands on Raspberry Pi Pico, head to the HackSpace magazine subscriptions article – new subscribers will have one sent to them for free!
