The Kitronik Discovery Kit for Raspberry Pi Pico is a great way to learn about microcontrollers, Python programming and physics computing. The kit includes all the components needed to complete the 7 included experiments, including an oversized breadboard. The kit is packaged in sturdy reusable packaging that can be used to store the kit. This version of the kit does NOT come with a Raspberry Pi Pico. The seven experiments take you from the basics of using the board to more advanced concepts and the use of external electronics. The experiments cover basic microcontroller concepts such as: basic setup, simple coding, interrupts, threads, digital inputs, and analog and digital outputs
The Raspberry Pi Pico board, a new low-cost and high-performance microcontroller. The board features a powerful new new dual-core ARM chip designed by Raspberry Pi, the RP2040. The pico also features 64KB of internal RAM and support for up to 16MB of off-chip Flash. A wide range of flexible I/O options include I2C, SPI and programmable I/O (PIO). These support endless potential applications for this small and affordable board
The programming of the kit is done using MicroPython. This is a full Python 3 application created specifically for small embedded microcontrollers, such as the Pico and the popular BBC micro:bit. You will use the Thonny editor to generate your code, which can then be saved directly to the Pico from the editor via USB. Thonny is a Python editor/IDE designed to allow beginners to get started with Python coding with as little hassle as possible Note: The USB cable is NOT supplied The Raspberry Pi Pico is NOT supplied with this kit
