This Raspberry Pi Pico W Beginners Components Tutorial will teach you how to interact with the microcontroller to interact with simple components such as LEDs, ultrasonic sensors and many other items found in a beginner’s kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a complete beginner, this tutorial will help you understand MicroPython so that you can read, write and modify code. With this knowledge, you can combine code and components to create something that has a real-world use case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are coming from a Pico, this tutorial will teach you how to control the Pico W wirelessly. Previously, you could only interact with the Pico through a switch, button or some physical interaction device. Not anymore! You can now control the components with your phone or desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
