You could get the Raspberry Pi Pico W (with wifi) and the components below from any where. These components could also be found in the SunFounder Raspberry Pi Pico W Kepler Kit for which the documentation is here. To keep the costs down if you are setting up a robotics club in a school or a community centre, you could also get boxes of each component in bulk, directly from the factories that manufacturing them at discounted prices and then share them out. If you do not have a component, just skip to the next video. We would like to thank Paul McWhorter and Dr Jon EA Ltd for letting us embed their videos into this website. You could also look at the official Raspberry Pi Pico documentation on the Raspberry Pi Foundation website. Be mindful that we are using the Raspberry Pi Pico W (with wifi) and hence the code for flashing the onboard LED is different to the code for Raspberry Pi Pico. In industry most software developers use Visual Studio Code. The Raspberry Pi Foundation recently released a Pi Pico plugin for Visual Studio Code. Gary Explains did a video on “Write Fast C/C++ Code for the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 using Visual Studio Code – Best RISC-V Compiler”. You could also go through this and install the Visual Studio Code and the Raspberry Pi Pico plugin.
