Summary
In this chapter, we’ve been on a close tour of Raspberry Pi Pico. We’ve put CircuitPython on the board and prepared some libraries to copy when we need them. We’ve downloaded an editor that can talk to Raspberry Pi Pico on its serial REPL, and have then written code to upload to Pico. In doing so, we’ve got the hardware to do some basic digital output.
We’ve also soldered headers onto Pico so that we can start building robots around it.
In the next chapter, we’ll design the robot to build around it, using CAD and taking our test fit into a more serious gear so that we can start cutting material.
