Includes a comprehensive user manualGetting StartedBefore you start building your IoT project, make sure you have:The Raspberry Pi Pico Ultimate Kit
A computer with internet access
A USB cable
A code editor or IDE of your choice (e.g., Thonny, Visual Studio Code)Code Examples### Example 1: Blinking LED with Raspberry Pi PicoThis example demonstrates how to use the Raspberry Pi Pico to blink an on-board LED.
```python
import machine
import time# Set up the on-board LED as an output
led = machine.Pin(25, machine.Pin.OUT)while True:
# Turn the LED on
led.value(1)
time.sleep(0.5)
# Turn the LED off
led.value(0)
time.sleep(0.5)
```
Upload the code to your Raspberry Pi Pico using your preferred method (e.g., Thonny, UF2 bootloader). Connect the board to your computer and observe the on-board LED blinking.### Example 2: Reading Analog Sensor Values with Raspberry Pi PicoThis example demonstrates how to use the Raspberry Pi Pico to read analog sensor values from a potentiometer.
```python
import machine
import time# Set up the analog input pin
potentiometer = machine.ADC(26)while True:
# Read the analog sensor value
value = potentiometer.read_u16()
print(f"Analog value: {value}")
time.sleep(0.1)
```
Connect a potentiometer to the Raspberry Pi Pico's ADC pin (GPIO 26). Upload the code to your Raspberry Pi Pico and observe the printed analog values in your terminal or serial console.### Example 3: UART Communication with Raspberry Pi PicoThis example demonstrates how to use the Raspberry Pi Pico to communicate with a serial device using the UART interface.
```python
import machine
import time# Set up the UART interface
uart = machine.UART(0, baudrate=9600, tx=machine.Pin(4), rx=machine.Pin(5))while True:
# Send a message over UART
uart.write(b"Hello, world!")
time.sleep(1)
# Read incoming data from UART
if uart.any():
data = uart.readline()
print(f"Received data: {data.decode()}")
```
Connect a serial device (e.g., a serial terminal, another microcontroller) to the Raspberry Pi Pico's UART pins (GPIO 4 and 5). Upload the code to your Raspberry Pi Pico and observe the transmitted and received data.Troubleshooting and ResourcesCheck the Raspberry Pi Pico documentation and tutorials for more information on getting started and troubleshooting.
