In this article we connect a bme280 to our Raspberry Pi Pico and The BME280 Humidity sensor measuring relative humidity, barometric pressure and ambient temperature   Technical data Parameter Technical data Operation range Pressure: 300…1100 hPa Temperature: -40…85°C Supply voltage VDDIO Supply voltage VDD 1.2…

In this article we will show you how to control the onboard LED of the Pico W using a Web Server. Code At the most basic we simply create a html web page which will be served up when an IP address is assigned We…

In this example we will create the most basic Web Server using our Raspberry Pi Pico W. This Web Server will display a simple Web Page when we navigate to the IP address assigned to our Pico W. The HTML is embedded in the code…

In this article we will fetch a web page using a Raspberry Pi W running micropython, we will display the source code of the web page in the REPL window You need to download the latest micropython firmware, you can get this from the following…

In this article we look at an expansion board which I purchased, the board is called the Pico Sense Hat and is made by SBcomponents It has a 1.14″ LCD Display which is controlled by a ST7789, the addition of this LCD allows you to…

As the owner of a RP2040 site and one that covers many products it obviously gives me great pleasure to see new products being launched and especially products from the Raspberry Pi foundation. The latest board is the Raspberry Pi Pico W which adds wireless…

In this article we look at something slightly different for the Raspberry Pi Pico, a BASIC Interpreter called Picomite This was developed by the same person who invented the MaxiMite which Lets see what the website says about PicoMite PicoMite is a Raspberry Pi Pico…

In a previous article we looked at the Pico Explorer Base and in this article we look at using circuitpython on the attached display. The 240 x 240 display fitted which is controlled by a ST7789 chip using SPI. the pins used are tft_cs =…

In this article we look at an accelerometer – this time its the MSA301 and we will connect this to a raspberry Pi Pico running Circuitpython Lets look at some information regarding the sensor, this is from the datasheet MSA301 is a triaxial, low-g accelerometer…

In this article we connect a LTR390 UV Light Sensor to the Raspberry Pi Pico Sensor Information This sensor converts light intensity to a digital output signal capable of direct I2C interface. It provides a linear ALS response over a wide dynamic range, and is…
