Welcome to the wiki for the EEESAU microcontroller workshop.
The microcontroller (uC) board that we have chosen to use for this workshop is the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W. While many of the ideas in this guide will generalise to other kinds of uC’s, we will also be going into detail about the many unique features of this board.

This guide is divided into 6 sections, each relating to a different aspect of using the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W.
- Basic Programming: Become more familiar with the development process and tools for Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W
- Basic Electronics: Interact with basic electronic components.
- Advanced Programming: Learn some more sophisticated techniques of programming for Pico.
- Advanced Electronics: Use protocol-based communication with integrated circuits.
- USB: Explore how the Pico can interact with other devices over USB.
- Wireless: Explore how the Pico can interact with other devices over Wifi and Bluetooth.
