I like this video. I also like that you've used Falstad's circuit simulator. Something I've been using for a VERY long time. It's absolutely my favorite tool for educating students around circuitry. Much is missed, but the visualization of current flow seems to really connect that last "dot" of their physics education around electronics. I'm interested in your usage of the PIO. That, for me, is the biggest draw towards the Pi Pico. It seems to be a very assembly friendly dev board. If only I was kept up to date with all the different tools used for uploading code to devices... I'm very old-school. Started with the old EPROM (yes, UV erasable) 2732 for my 1991 Camaro lol. Still feels like I'm teaching history to students so that they can better understand/grasp, the amazing tools/resources they find in Industry.
Thanks for the nice comments. I am starting an assembly series for the RP2040 next (first video out soon). Uploading (downloading?) code just involves a micro USB cord (at least for now). Hope this is as interesting as the PIO series. Thanks for watching!
Just noticed the old school Heathkit oscilloscope… nice. I’m currently researching level shifters for interfacing my Pico to various things. Thanks for this very informative video!
I just completed a DIY level shifting construct between a GPS and an M5Stack device/MMBasic Pico. I'm not sure about the raw data yet. I use another GPS with success on both, but I need a better quality on speed/positioning (speedometer idea) for something. The way I made it can test other GPS units, so I'm pleased. It's something like 10 jumper wires and whatnot with a lot of thinking. Without a lot of videos to watch it would not work for me.
It sounds really interesting! I like those kinds of projects the best; stuff that no one else has tried. Exercising the brain keeps one young, lol. Thanks for watching!
Since I'm in the postition of not knowing what I don't know, I've been wondering if the dual cores and ADC on the pico would allow the development of something like a TZXduino that can save as well a read. like a cassette.

I’m glad it helped. Thanks for watching!

Great video. I love the detail.
Thank you very much!

That's my goal. Check out my video on the Pico file handling capabilities. th-cam.com/video/G06tPDjZ3zM/w-d-xo.html
