The Pi Pico Eurocard Development Board uses a Seeed XIAO RP2040 as debugger. shabaz posted an adapted version of the PicoProbe firmware binary on his github. In this post, I take a step back and fork the source of the&n...
I just read some good news over at cnx-software.com - Raspberry Pi Pico W gets Bluetooth support in SDK 1.5.0.
I've been waiting for the hardware to be supported.
Quoted from the article:

Bluetooth support is still considere...
Use a Raspberry Pi to create a home automation system that can control lights, appliances, and other devices in your home.
Home automation has become increasingly popular in recent years, as homeowners seek to streamline their lives and make their ho...
Introduction
Waste collection boats have been widely used for the purpose of cleaning up water bodies. So, as a solution to this problem, smaller sized garbage collection boats have been designed to collect garbage and floating solids in...
In this post, I test the USBTMC and SCPI compliant instrument I developed for the Pico.I use the same LabVIEW driver I made a few years ago for Project14: PiFace, Raspberry, LabVIEW and LEDs .
For an explanation of the co...
In this post, I test the USBTMC and SCPI compliant instrument I developed for the Pico.I use a PyVISA script to check if the instrument is connected. Then the outputs are switched and validated.
The test scenario:

In this post, I add a new SCPI query to the USBTMC and SCPI compliant instrument I developed for the Pico.In the previous post, the device could switch outputs (or relays, ...) on or off with a SCPI command.I'm now adding a SCPI command to r...
There's a standard profile for USB test and measurement devices, called USBTMC. If your instrument supports it, it becomes a plug-and-play device for the likes of LabVIEW. The Raspberry Pico examples come with a set of TinyUSB profile e...

The RP2040 SoC is a powerful, low-cost microcontroller with a dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ processor, 264 kB of embedded SRAM, and 30 GPIO pins. Learn why it's the perfect choice for the Raspberry Pi Pico and endpoint AI-based applications.
In this post, 1 CMake topic:
how to enable c++ Exception Handling and RTTI (Run-Time Type Information)
Both c++ constructs come with a cost, the biggest being that they requires more memory. In most microcontroller configuration...
