    While Raspberry Pis are best known as single board computers (e.g. the Raspberry Pi 1/2/3/4 models), the Pico was designed for use in a variety of physical computing solutions. Think in terms of controlling motors, reading sensors, cellular connectivity, and even machine learning. As with other Raspberry Pi hardware, it's developer-friendly and can be programmed with C/C++ and MicroPython (a Python implementation for microcontrollers).

    Python IDE for beginners

    If you have previous experience working with Raspberry Pi and MicroPython, your default IDE is probably Thonny:

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • Visual Studio Code

    Visual Studio Code

    Don't get me wrong, Thonny is a super fun little IDE to work with. The problem with Thonny is that it only takes you so far. I'm missing my productivity extensions, syntax autocompletion, error highlighting, and built-in terminal provided by Visual Studio Code.
