The Raspberry Pi Pico is a change from the previous Pis that people are used to. This is because it is not a Linux computer, but it is a microcontroller board just like Arduino.
The biggest selling points of the Raspberry Pi Pico are the price, costing only $4 and it has the new RP2040 chip which can provide ample power for the embedded projects and it enables the users of any ability or age to learn about coding and electronics.
If you have a Windows Apple, Linux computer or even a different Raspberry Pi, then you are already on your way to using the new Raspberry Pi Pico in your next project.
Arduino, and Pi Pico, builds on the Raspberry Pi RP2040
Not only has Raspberry Pi launched its first microcontroller-class product – the RP2040, used by the Raspberry Pi Pico – but then Arduino have built on it with the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect.
The RP2040 is newly developed at the Raspberry Pi Foundation and the Pi Pico builds on it (see above) as a standalone board option for embedded development or as companion piece to your Raspberry Pi computer, perhaps serving first steps with a microcontroller.
Basically, we are talking about interfacing your Raspberry Pi to the outside “real” world, whether it is reading sensors, connecting to networks or driving actuators.
