Over the years, the Raspberry Pi boards have become a must-have tool whether you are a student, an electronics hobbyist, a robotics developer or a programmer. The Raspberry Pi foundation changed single-board computing when they released the Raspberry Pi computer. Now they're ready to do the same for microcontrollers with the release of the brand new Raspberry Pi Pico. This low-cost microcontroller board features a powerful new chip, the RP2040 which is a 32-bit Dual-Core ARM Cortex-M0+ Microcontroller.
In this tutorial, we will learn about an exciting new device called the Raspberry Pi Pico. The RP2040 contains two ARM Cortex-M0+ cores clocked at 133 MHz together with 264 KB of RAM. The Program memory is external and supports up to 16 MB. The device has everything you expect from a modern microcontroller like UARTS, SPI, and I2C ports. There are timers, PWM, DMA, and a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter. We will learn about the RP2040 Microcontroller, its features, and specifications. We will go through the Raspberry Pi Pico Board, its layout, and Pin Details. We will learn about its ADC, SPI & I2C Pins.
We will then do multiple projects starting from blinking of LED to reading the internal temperature sensor value. We will also learn about its ADC pin as well as the I2C Pin. Using the I2C Protocol, we will interface the OLED Display. Finally, we will interface with some external sensors like DHT11 Sensor and read the temperature and humidity values.
