What Raspberry Pi Pico development board do you recommend

colporteur

Can you share some of your Pico insight? I'm looking to start dabbling in Pico. I have experience with Pi's and Arduino's and look forward to discovering the Pico.

My experience suggests a development board is an ideal platform to begin with. It removes some of the heavy liftings. Yeah I could breadboard it and work from there but I thought, hey Christmas is coming why not get yourself a new toy. Who wouldn't want a slick development board under the tree?

Does anyone have any suggestions? What is good or bad in a development board? Since I don't know what I am looking for maybe a list from others is a good starting point?

    I'd say that the Pico is a development board. It might be worth getting some expansion boards that take your fancy, but none of these are essential for getting to grips with it. It just depends on what interests you and what the retailers in your country have.

    It might be worth getting 2 Picos - especially if you're paying for shipping anyway - as one Pico can be used as a debugger for another Pico.
