Headline: A comprehensive Course to get Beginners immediately started with the new Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040)!

Introduction: Hey there, future makers and developers! It's Dr. Alexander Fell here, your guide on a thrilling journey into the world of the Raspberry Pi Pico - the latest sensation in the Raspberry Pi family. 🌟 If you're eager to dive headfirst into the exciting realm of microcontrollers and embedded systems, this is the course for you!

What You'll Learn:

• Soldering Basics: Get your hands dirty with some basic soldering techniques. 🔧 No prior experience? No worries! I'll walk you through the process step by step.
• Software Setup: Quick and easy setup for your Raspberry Pi Pico on both Windows and Linux systems, setting you up for success right off the bat.
• Practical Exploration: Delve into the core functionalities of the Raspberry Pi Pico with hands-on projects on:
  • Timers and Counters
  • Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
  • Interrupts
  • Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
  • Communication Protocols (SPI, I2C/TWI, UART)
  • Connecting to other peripherals, sensors, and actuators (like Arduino components)

Learning Approach:

• Theory Meets Practice: Each topic begins with an explanation of what it is and how it works. This is followed by practical examples, hands-on exercises, and tips to guide you through the learning process.
• Exercises & Solutions: Challenging tasks are designed to reinforce your knowledge. Hints and tips are provided, and if you encounter an obstacle, I've got you covered with well-documented source code that you can experiment with and modify.
• Real-World Applications: Discover how to safely connect periphery devices, protect your Raspberry Pi Pico against over-voltage, and work with larger electrical components like motors to ensure a long-lasting and enjoyable experience.

Course Philosophy: This course is built on the principle of "Learning by Doing". You'll need a few hardware components which I list in the first lecture, available for free download. With some prior Python programming knowledge (or a quick learn of the language), you're all set to embark on this journey with me!

Course Structure: The course is designed to be comprehensive and self-contained, offering everything you need to know about the Raspberry Pi Pico. By completing this course, you'll not only understand the fundamentals of the Raspberry Pi Pico but also gain the confidence to plan and execute your own projects using this powerful microcontroller. 🚀
