Pi Pico Balloon Tracker

“As you may know, my main hobby is flying weather balloons, using GPS/radio trackers to relay their position to the ground, so they can be tracked and hopefully recovered. Trackers minimally consist of a GPS receiver feeding the current …

Quickstart IoT - Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 with WiFi

“Connect your Raspberry Pi Pico CircuitPython project to the internet by adding an AirLift breakout board. The Adafruit AirLift is a breakout board that lets you use the ESP32 as a WiFi co-processor for a Pico. In this guide, you …

Raspberry Pi Pico and LED Arcade Button MIDI Controller

“DIY MIDI Controller Build your own CircuitPython powered MIDI controller! This “MIDI fighter”-like controller features 16 arcade buttons with built-in LEDs, an OLED screen and joystick. Play drums, synthesizers or anything MIDI related! All of the electronics are housed …

TinyML - Motion Recognition Using Raspberry Pi Pico

“In this tutorial, we will use machine learning to build a gesture recognition system that runs on a tiny microcontroller, the RP2040. This tutorial has 2 parts. The first one is to explore the Raspberry Pi Pico, its main components …

An Introduction to RP2040 PIO with CircuitPython

“Inspired by COVID-19 prevention, we have developed a system which measures the temperature of persons before they enter a building. A feature that sets the Raspberry Pi Foundation RP2040 microcontroller apart from other microcontrollers is “PIO”. The RP2040 datasheet …

DIY Pico Mechanical Keyboard with Fritzing and CircuitPython

“Build your own custom mechanical keyboard that runs CircuitPython on the RaspberryPi Pico RP2040! With lots of pins, the RaspberryPi RP2040 Pico makes for a great brain of a mechanical keyboard/macro pad — no scan matrix required. Up to 26 …

Intruder detection with ArduCam on Pico board

“Use the new RPi Pico along with TFLu so that it turns a RPi4 when a person is detected, then the RPi4 confirms if the person is a stranger. In this project, we are going to learn how to set …

PicoPythonHub75

“Hub75 LED panels are an affordable way of adding lots of colourful lights to a build. This project shows you how to control a 32x32 RGB LED panel using MicroPython. Pico’s PIO lets you output data fast enough for …

Play Hunt the Wumpus, Raspberry Pi Pico style

“Here’s something a little different: a basic C project that you can follow to build a fun handheld game with a Raspberry Pi Pico. Your mission: to enter a dark cave, and then locate and destroy the monstrous Wumpus …

Connect ESP-01S (ESP8266) to Raspberry Pi Pico/MicroPython, using AT Command

“Just first connect ESP-01S to Raspberry Pi Pico/MicroPython UART, send AT-Command, set in Station Mode, connect to AP.”
