The Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 microcontroller is a versatile platform designed for a wide range of applications. This repository aims to provide a comprehensive set of examples and projects that demonstrate the diverse capabilities of this microcontroller, from basic input/output operations to complex control systems.
To get started with the projects in this repository, you'll need the following tools and software:
- Thonny IDE: The recommended integrated development environment (IDE) for developing applications on the Raspberry Pi Pico.
- MicroPython: A lean and efficient implementation of the Python 3 programming language for microcontrollers.
- Download and install Thonny IDE.
- Follow the instructions to set up MicroPython on the Raspberry Pi Pico.
examples/: Contains various example projects showcasing the use of different peripherals on the Raspberry Pi Pico.assignments/: Contains assignments created to help Professor Ariella Blum and her students in LAB ECEN 2400.
These examples are what I tried my hands on with the Raspberry Pi Pico to explore its various functionalities.
These assignments were created by me, Kiran Jojare, as a graduate teaching assistant for the course ECEN 2400: Applications of Embedded Systems, under the guidance of Professor Ariella Blum.
Step-by-step instructions for setting up the development environment and writing your first Python script for the Raspberry Pi Pico.
Instructions for setting up an IR receiver circuit with the Raspberry Pi Pico and decoding IR signals using the NEC protocol.
Comprehensive guide for setting up an IR communication system, including both IR transmission and reception with the Raspberry Pi Pico.
