Klappentext

Microcontrollers, like Raspberry Pi Pico, are computers stripped down to their bare essentials (no keyboard, mouse, or monitor). Learn how to set up your desktop or laptop computer to write Python code for the Pico and Pico W, and how to make your own electro-mechanical projects that can interact with the real world.
