This book will teach you Python programming and some basic electronics without assuming any prior knowledge of either subject. The book initially focusses on Python programming, building up a Morse Code example using the Raspberry Pi Pico's built-in LED. Once you have mastered the basics of coding the Pico, the book will introduce electronics, showing you how to use sensors, switches, LEDs, servomotors and displays attached to your Pico.

Discover how to:

• install and use the Thonny Python editor and upload programs to your Pico
• write simple programs to control the Raspberry Pi Pico
• structure your programs with functions and modules
• make effective use of Python Lists and Dictionaries
