Useful tools

Raspberry Pi Pico

All you need to get started on your own projects are a few low-cost Picos plus some prototyping boards and jumper wires.
Luckily all of these  items are readily available from Amazon.com and if you make a purchase via these links you won't pay any extra and we'll get a few cents.

The current models of the Pico are the second generation Pico 2 and the first generation Pico W. Due to there being a bug in the Pico 2 you might prefer to stick with the original Pico for the time being.

Unless you are happy to use a soldering iron choosing a Pico with pre-built headers is a good idea. 

If your project is based on the Pico 2 or Pico W, an original Pico can be used as the debugging probe, although now you will find Pico Debugging probes commercially available.

The other tools you will need for the projects outlined in this book are some breadboards and some jumper wires and you'll also find a logic analyzer handy.  Jump to the Tools page for the items we recommend.

The book refers to some specific sensors, servos and motors. For these go to Components

The changes may be small, but we still need to keep up-to-date. How does moving to version 10 change C#? A look at three features that make it really worthwhile.
