    An Rpi Pico Starter Kit

    To us, having a book is not enough, if you are a long-time Arduino user, you already know that component-hunting here and there is rather time-consuming. If you are a complete microcontroller noob, you can easily get overwhelmed by various peripheral lists, communication protocols, etc. The learning curve tends to be steep.

    Our suggestion? Stick to the book.

    With a carefully selected list of components that appeared in the original guidebook, we have made a cool learning kit for those who’d give this RP2040-powered Raspberry Pi a try.
