The Raspberry Pi Pico is a low-cost, high-performance microcontroller board, It has flexible digital interfaces and it is very small but powerful. The board offers users the chance to develop projects that are both great and small.
One type of project that this microcontroller board is good for is robotics, but that needs to be paired up with motors. You will need to control DC motors with a Raspberry Pi Pico to get your project going.
Most questions of developers is if it is possible to connect Raspberry Pi Pico directly to the GPIO. The answer is no.
January always brings with it the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which serves as a showcase of emerging technology and helps set the tone for the coming year. Although 2021 s roadshow felt a little anaemic, as it was forced online for the first time, it still did the job of creating a much-needed distraction.
A part of this month s issue covers some of our highlights of the event. CES is always a mix of technology that seeks to break the mould, and technology that reflects the zeitgeist. We saw plenty of the usual suspects, with new PC hardware, IoT technology, and new breakthroughs in TV design capturing the spotlight as they always do. Yet a great deal of technology also sought to capitalise on the pandemic, or at least the greater emphasis on remote work.

In the race between Intel Alder Lake vs Apple M1 chip, who could win? Intel s upcoming Alder Lake could be the closest thing to Apple s latest in-house processor, which is currently used in the company s MacBook lineup. Intel spends a lot of time during the previous CES to provide a preview of its next major chipset.

While the Raspberry Pi was previously synonymous with other single-board Linux computers, this is no longer the case. The previous $4 Raspberry Pi Pico board is now making an attempt to break into the whole crowded microcontroller module market.
Raspberry Pi Pico vs ESPR32
When it comes to the ESPR32, although there is very little detail regarding this particular device, it is known to be a development board that is equipped with Espressif Systems wireless communication module or basically Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with ESP-WROOM-32 and a needed USB-serial conversion IC FT231XS.

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.
