This video represents the extreme quality difference of new product reviews and demos. While 'everyone else' is showing the pico with just the basic blink sketch example, Bill takes it to a whole other level of excellence in performance showcased with in depth demonstrations. Thank you!
The considerable effort which has gone into producing this has resulted in a video which is first class, a treat to watch and seamless in its presentation! You communicate carefully, logically and clearly, leaving no room for misunderstanding. Thank-you very much indeed!
A very thorough presentation. Not rushed as many fall into the trap that they know their subject, so it's delivered at warp speed. One of the best I have viewed.
The best introduction to the Pico I have had the pleasure of experiencing. As usual, a great presentation from a terrific communicator., Bill (Thank you).
Best video I've seen on TH-cam so far this year. Come to think of it, best this decade! Thanks for a fascinating, gentle, logical, easy to understand beginner's guide to GPIO.
I watch your videos all the time. They are very professional. I usually give you a like and watch it to the end, when I have leisure time. thanks for sharing your knowledge.
@49:03 plumbing excitement! must be near time for a snack. All very clear and so a Godsend for those starting out and a very useful illustration/reference for the rest of us.
Congratulations on an excellent teaching video for those wishing to learn through the Pico. As good as "Explaining Computers" which is a high compliment.
You came late in the race for Pi Pico demonstration but you certainly have made an awesome tutorial. It covers almost everything which is circulating around so far! Keep it up!
Plus skip past the part where he reads all the specifications from the spec sheet -- the same as all the other intro videos do to waste time and make their videos longer without adding any value. Not as bad as all the videos merely taking something out of a cardboard box, but still annoying. Then he has to perpetuate the myth that the Pico is a $4 board (like the myth of the old C.H.I.P. being a $9 board). Shipping can double, triple, or more the actual price you pay, but few videos are honest enough to mention that. It would be better to just skip all the fluff, increase speed to 1.25x, and get right to the I/O part at 23:36.
Super interesting demos. In fact, the terminal and the way to program the Pi Pico takes me back to the 80s when I was programming my Commodore 64 but the similarity ends there. The quality of your preparation and the demonstrations only make the Pi Pico more attractive and enjoyable to program. Thank you.
I just spent hours looking at various videos on programming the pi Pico using micro python. This was by far the best as well as easy to follow presentation. Thank you!
Thank you so much for, unlike most TH-cam creators, speaking at a slow pace. I appreciate that a lot in instructional videos, it helps tremendously. Great video, visually and content wise.
This instructor will hold your hand and walk you through the jungle and you'll think it's the park! I learned new things. What I didn't learn new, I understand better. Thanks!
Really enjoyed this video of you taking the Raspberry Pi Pico to the breadboard gym you put together to put it through its paces. So much power in such a tiny package. Will make IoT device development much more exciting.
@@MatthiasDiro Plug and Play(Pray) was implemented to avoid manual IRQ/DMA configuration. Sometimes it even worked ;) But before that it was "just" a matter of assigning non-overlapping configs to your devices.
@@transsi quote "Sometimes it even worked" - > Really? Not on any PC of mine that time ;) As I remember there were only a few IRQ and DMA channels free and the next troublemaker was IRQ sharing (totally funny with PRO audio getting spikes every 10 minutes or so).
Been struggling with a pico for a week, I just learned more in the last hour than I did all week, enough to write my own code to get the projects done I got the picos for.
Very nice getting started with the Pico video. I like the way you make no assumptions of prior knowledge and cover necessary bits. But, mercifully keeping it brief so as to not turn off somewhat more experienced viewers. Admittedly, that a fine line. For example, my mouse was posed to skip the solder flux cleaning tutorial 😀. But it is probably appropriate for most Pico beginners.
Love how you describe the items you working with. How you give super explanation of the microcontroller, just got my 2 picos I know years late but I’m learning lol
To check zero of ADC you may connect directly the pin to ground or analog ground. If you get reading 0 this mean that the potentiometer is not perfect. If the reading is different from 0 this mean that ADC of controller have a problem in design. ( I've seen other video on TH-cam where user have same problem with ADC) The video is very informative. I have to stop few times to be able to absorb all information given :)
I have watched a bunch of Pico Videos now .Yours is the best by Far. Btw I have been watching you since the start of Covid. Always entertaining and informative. Thanks.
I'm also thanking you for the information and enjoyable video that you have presented. I so much understand what you are describing because I went to school and study for it and I know that I should understand it so well but when you start to explain all the inner workings and the fundamentals, All the lights went off and the understanding screams came out loud. I thank you for your very good explanations and extreme and good showmanship. Your videos are good for training and leadership. The next generation and leadership needs this. thank you.
Thanks for yet another thorough and informative video. I'm especially happy to see you explaining interrupts, and actually stating it's an important topic in the microcontroller world. A lot of video introductions to microcontrollers miss that.
Grrrr... step one may just be finding a micro-usb cable that actually transmits data. I had half a dozen cables lying around, and was beginning to believe I bough a bad Pico. I ordered a cable that specified data, and magically, everything works. Once past that hurdle, really wonderful tutorial. Logical, concise and well-presented and edited.
Hi, sir, your video on all tech is the most comprehensive I can found around. Thank you for sharing your knowledge to the rest of the world. Cheers. :)
Thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos. They are very professional and informative. I wish more instructive videos were produced like yours.
What a great instructional video on the Pico. I’ve been dragging my feet on getting one. Now I’ve got one ordered along with some accessories. Count me as subscribed.
Up until now the humble Arduino has served me well with the projects I wanted to build but after watching this tutorial I think the pico will be the first pick for my future projects provided there are libraries for the sensors etc that I want to use - i think there will be tidal wave of development in this regard over the next year or so . I don’t know if it is just me but micropython seems to be so much simpler to use than C++ and if I never see another curly brace again it will be too soon ! Definitely the best tutorial on the pico I have seen , I did watch one where the guy tried to use #define and include in the programme - i got a good laugh watching that 😀
34 minutes in, you talk about not wanting to be interrupted by your own interrupt, in the "int_handler()" function. This was a quite serious issue in my software career! OS/2 could "trap" and would print a trap message, which always began with "TRAP". If it got a trap while it was handling a trap, we called it a "TRA" because that's all it would manage to print out, just the first three characters. Those were rather unfortunate, because we really wanted to see what went wrong! Not many people got to touch kernel code, after enough incidents... Thank you so much for these tutorials, by the way; I'm learning a lot from you.
At 42:00 you discuss the ADC conversion which is providing 12bits and your inability to reach zero, others have observed this as well. I have not dug into the details of the read_u16 function, but it's logical to assume that the bits are being given to you as 12 bits in the top of the u16 location which would explain why you see a value of 64K-1 at the top end and would have fuzz in the final 4 bits. I would suggest you might see if doing a bit shift right 4 times gets you much closer to zero at the bottom and give you the expect raw value of 4k-1 at the top. Great world wind exploration of using MicroPython on the Pico, I am considering getting the Toolshain in place to try out access via C++, given this would let me play with the second Core (which I assume it dormant using MircoPython).
Hi Bill, thank you. Excellent video. I am new to micro python and your explanations are excellent. Can I ask that you mention what needs to be in capitals and what has to be in lower case. In my experiments I have found this to be awkward. Thanks Andy
This is a great introduction to the Raspberry Pi Pico. Now I just need to get my hands one. Your introduction is one of the best ones that I have seen. Thank you.
Mr DroneBot Bill - Thank you! You can tell that a lot of work has gone into making these videos. They are excellent. Can any one tell me why there are 2 bits needed for the motor direction?
Thank you for this very useful video ! Sorry for what is going to be a really stupid question but, you mention at 7:25 the pico has two I2C buses but don't show which pins they would appear on. If I wanted to sniff them with a logic analyzer, which pins would I connect to ? Thanks.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. The Raspberry Pi Picos are all sold out from what I can see. It joins the new Mac Mini computer as an item that is challenging to get quickly. I ordered a Mac Mini but think I will wait for a while before ordering a Pico. The Pico looks like a great little micro controller. Thanks again.
36:43: It seems like oddly buggy behaviour that you're not sleeping after lighting the blue part of the LED. It's even apparent in the video, where it basically goes from green to off.
Good introduction, using in- and out pins, controlling and showing (RGB LED and OLED). Very good demo. Ps: could yo write main.py with one line in it? Like "import thisprog.py" ? That way you still keep them separated. And, could you also have main.py show a small list on the OLED and let you choose which program to run? I assume that could be done (no need to say: as long as the peripherals are placed okay).
Based on the intro vid, it does look like it would be possible to set up some type of menu to run different programs from main.py, but maybe you would have to build them all as functions in the main program.
Your demonstration is great, I’m looking for more info on controlling dc motors, like how to adjust the start speed and adjust motor braking. Something that can be controlled with rotary encoders and value displayed on an oled. So far your video is the best. Thanks for your content
Another great video thanks very much I had some questions probably better for the forum but if you have time. Why 400000 for the frequency on the display is that just a max setting? and have you ever done a video looking at powering circuits separate from the Pico maybe using an optical IC to isolate things. and not stress it out. I will check the forum shortly and check it out. Love the channel keep up the good work and all the best
Great video, as usual. Thanks. A tip, you can control the debugging port and run pin etc from your RPi4 pins. Makes it a bit easier. I solder only two or three pins when I uses a bread board. The pins on each ends and then one in the middle. Then remove and solder the rest. You can also install micro Python from Thonny IDE, it will download and install, if one doesn't want to do it manually. There are also a clean image from RPi if you want to clean the programs out of the RPi pico.
No matter what the label or people say, given enough time, flux will become conductive. Please clean your flux :). In fact, 'no clean' may even be harder to clean, but I'm not sure on that one. Probably depends. Other than that, thank you for the great video! And if not using 91-99% IPA, I recommend you try to use air to blow out under the chips, and wait a little longer than if 99%. Water likes to hide there :).
Very great intro to the Pico. I’m familiar with Arduino and sought out a video to showcase the Pico to see if I want to get one and your video made up my mind!

A very thorough presentation. Not rushed as many fall into the trap that they know their subject, so it's delivered at warp speed. One of the best I have viewed.
This video is not just about the rasbperry pico. Its like stepping inside to IO world with raspberry pico. Keep up the good work, great video.

The demonstrations here are spot on. Just enough detail to get things running.

This is THE BEST Pico introduction !!! Recommended for everyone who would like to learn about Pico, don't waste time for other video on YT about Pico.
This is the best intro to the pico I have seen. I stumbled through most of this before I saw this but still learned quite a bit. Thanks.
I watch your videos all the time. They are very professional. I usually give you a like and watch it to the end, when I have leisure time. thanks for sharing your knowledge.

So far the best Video on YT for Raspberry Pi Pico. Can't wait to see more. Thank you.
First class video. Everything clearly explained both verbally and visually. Best pico intro on YT.
After one year and a half, this is still the best intro video to the Raspberry PICO that I have found . Thank you.
Yep. And still no boards/hats for it working on 3.3v.
It's sad that absence of 5v ports make such perfect product useless.

Thank you for providing this excellent introduction to the Pico. I just got mine and this kind of guide is just what I was looking for.
DBW is so detailed, he covers the subject seriously. Really good for people who want to actually build stuff.
Every time I hear "IRQ" I have vicious flashbacks of (eventually) installing SoundBlaster cards in the 90s.
IRQ PTSD. yeah! Mine comes from network and video cards, mostly. the infamous irq15. KILL ITTTTTTT
Oh yes. A nightmare!,
so called '"plug and pray" :)

Dope video! This is really dope that they finally came out with a mini one who else is getting one ? :D
One? I'll be getting like seven or eight!
ESP32 can also use Micropython. Does Pi Pico have advantage over ESP32?
He taught me more in one hour than my teacher taught me in a semester.
Great video, as usual. Thanks.
A tip, you can control the debugging port and run pin etc from your RPi4 pins. Makes it a bit easier.
I solder only two or three pins when I uses a bread board. The pins on each ends and then one in the middle. Then remove and solder the rest.
