Intro to Raspberry Pi and Arduino Devices

Factory 3Portland, ME
Multiple dates
Overview

Learn to program your own powerful, affordable Raspberry Pi device!

The course begins with an overview of the Raspberry Pi Pico and other low-cost single-board devices. Students will learn why the Pico is so popular while programming their own Raspberry Pi device to blink a light and sound a buzzer. We will end the course talking about the limitless potential the Pico has to communicate with other devices such as motors, screens and sensors of any kind.

Note: you will need to bring a computer – everything else will be provided.
