Vis Viva Raspberry Pi Pico H (pre soldered headers) + Raspberry Pi Logo Sticker (1Pack, Pre-soldered Headers)

This is for hobby time

The Raspberry Pi Pico is just an amazing piece of hardware, but other reviewers will tell you that. Here are two things worth knowing:It is a totally great idea to pair your Pico with a Zero-Insertion-Force socket. It makes getting the Pico into and out of breadboards very, very easy and is great if you do what I do, buy a bunch of breadboards, and just leave projects wired up. Now you don't need Yet Another Pico for each and every breadboard -- just another socket.This socket on Amazon fits the Pico and standard solderless breadboards:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NAV2DI8/The other thing worth knowing, if you use MicroPython, is that the filesystem that's exposed when you use the boot-select button on the Pico is *NOT* the MicroPython file system. You have to have already installed the MicroPython UF2 and then access the MicroPython file system through MicroPython itself (though your IDE may make it seem like this happens automagically ... )

First time buying a Rasberry Pi Pico W, fun & entertaining!

Small with lots of I/O and powerful processor with WiFi.

The media could not be loaded.  I used this to power a Lego light kit for keeping some lights on all the time, and to alternate flashing some of the other lights for a "pew pew" command on my livestream (I'm on Twitch as iandouglas736). While it's not as friendly as a full Raspberry Pi to run independently (I needed to use a Mac to install the Python code, Windows wouldn't work), it's an extremely low-power device. I'm happy to have picked up 4 of these for similar IoT projects. Getting the wireless to work in Micropython was only a few lines of code.

Using it with 'Anvil Works firmware' to wake up my pc remotely from any location.
