Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi Pico,Based on Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 Microcontroller Board with Pre-Soldered Header,Support C/C++/Python

Worked well.

Bought out of curiosity, it's a microcontroller based on the ARM instruction set that is dual core.Unlike the standard raspberry pi boards, this is not a board that runs linux, it's a micro controller that has limited speed and resources and serves a different purpose.I use stm32 microcontrollers a lot, so was interested in trying this. It seems quite well featured, but I haven't done anything with it in anger yet, they're cheap and lots of different vendors although the current silicon shortage is causing problems.

The items worked as expected, although pushing the Pico into the board required more effort than I was comfortable using. Although more expensive, I think a kit with many of the peripheral parts needed to start with the Pico would be a better purchase hence the four stars. This is described as a "starter kit" after all, but it needs more to start!

Huge price markup
