I wrote a handson Raspberry Pi Pico 2 project book free review copies for embedded devs

Hi everyone, I’m Michael Bell I write embedded systems books for beginners and professionals.
I just released “Embedded Systems with Raspberry Pi Pico 2 and RP2350: Projects and Deep Dives”.
This is a project-based book that takes you from blinking LEDs to building real embedded systems using the RP2350, GPIO, timers, interrupts, and communication interfaces.
I’m looking for honest feedback from developers and hobbyists.
If you’re interested, I can send you a free Kindle copy in exchange for an honest review on Amazon. No pressure I just want to make sure the book is practical and useful.
You can also check out the example code and projects on GitHub here:
github.com/.../pico-embedded-book
And here’s the Amazon page to see the book details:
www.amazon.com/.../B0G62PXWTP
Many of the projects include detailed walk-throughs and debugging notes so you can learn how and why things work.
Thanks for helping me make embedded learning better!

Hi,

I use the Pico for projects at home and for my children's school. I'd be happy to review for you.

I typically use micro python but I have a C background (many years ago).

Kind Regards

Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Thank you so much I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.
That’s great to hear you’re using the Pico both at home and in a school setting. The book includes projects that work well with MicroPython, and there are also C-based examples for readers who want to go a bit deeper, so your background fits perfectly.
I’d be very happy for you to review it. Here’s the GitHub repository with the project code and examples:
github.com/.../pico-embedded-book
And here’s the Amazon link to the book:
www.amazon.com/.../B0G62PXWTP
If you have any feedback especially from an educational or classroom perspective I’d genuinely love to hear it.
Kind regards,
Michael

Looks like code rendering is off in the Amazon preview:

The renderer doesn't translate ```c into C highlighting.

Thanks for catching that you’re absolutely right.

Amazon’s preview renderer doesn’t support Markdown-style code fences or language hints, so the ```c directive isn’t interpreted and the formatting breaks in the preview.

I’m updating the manuscript to use Kindle-friendly monospace formatting so the code displays correctly in both the preview and on devices.

Much appreciated.

Hi Michael, this sounds like a really useful resource! I’d be happy to check out the Kindle copy and provide some feedback, love the project-based approach for learning embedded systems.

Nice, I have made one PCB with RP2050 and the experience was good indeed.

Hi Michael,
I bought the paperback edition of the book, but unfortunately the source code printed in it is unreadable.
I was only able to find a very small portion of it on GitHub.

Would it be possible to make the complete source code available on GitHub?
Otherwise, I may unfortunately have to return the book to Amazon, as the code examples are an essential part of the learning experience.
