I picked up the Raspberry Pi Pico W for hobby use, and it’s been a fantastic little board to work with. It’s small, affordable, and has just enough power for all kinds of fun projects. The built-in Wi-Fi is a big bonus—makes it super easy to connect things to the internet without needing extra hardware.I’ve been using it with MicroPython, and setup was pretty straightforward. There’s also tons of community support and examples out there, which is great for learning and experimenting.Whether you're into DIY electronics, tinkering, or just exploring microcontrollers, this is an awesome board to have in your kit.

They seem so fair to work well.

These work as expected and the price is good. In retrospect I would have gotten ones with headers. I've got the header pin strips and soldered them on but unless you have an application where you're going the use the castleated pads to solder the Pico directly on another board the pre-soldered versions are worth the minimal extra cost.

Awesome, small, versatile, cheap and does the job well!cons:- the wifi 'antenna' range is kinda short

High quality hardware and documentation, as always from Raspberry Pi. The price is very reasonable.Works perfectly with Arduino IDE!

I have been working with the Arduino Mega, and this device provides more speed, more memory, and a smaller footprint for a lot less money. All very good things.I did have some issues on the programming side. You can program it in Python, C/C++, or in something like the Arduino variation of C. Unfortunately each interface has different levels of library support and flexibility. If you want to get in on the ground floor and maybe make some contributions to the open source code for the Pico W, that's all fine. Start today. My needs are a little different.I have been helping to support an open-source scientific control system called CBASS based on the Arduino (https://doi.org/10.1002/lom3.10555). The biologists who use it are very smart, but programming isn't their focus. I need to be able to send them a software update that they can install and perhaps modify without too much work. Reliability is also key. "Sometimes it recognizes temperature sensors and sometimes it doesn't" is not acceptable. I think that this will be a great tool for the job, but it needs two things.1) Reliable libraries for a real time clock, DS18B20 temperature probes, Adafruit displays, and PID control.2) An IDE in either C or Python which supports those libraries and doesn't require manual installation of a toolchain beyond the IDE.I'm sure that many of these things are on the way, and the problems may be solved by the time you read this, but this is what I experienced.

Paid double plus some compared to MSRP for two Pico W's... The price of a hobby and "shortages" ?The product showed up in a timely fashion and came sealed in the usual factory black ticket case that bulk manufactured electronics are packaged in. Product looks to be a genuine RP2040 version B2 chip, and loaded Micro Python UF2 image without issue.Tested LED blink and WiFi Network scan to list WiFi networks near it. Per Pico W datasheet section 3.4, the LED shares the same pin as the WiFi chip WL_GPIO0. Just quick validation tests, Circuit Python UF2 Image also loaded without issue, did not try any C Code, assuming it works, will update differently if I find it doesn't.All in all happy with the purchase and arrived within a week of ordering.Code clips to quickly test the basics.Micro python Blink test, blinks led every .5 seconds:from machine import Pinimport utimewhile True:led = machine.Pin("LED", machine.Pin.OUT)led.on()utime.sleep(.5)led.off()utime.sleep(.5)Micro python WiFI scan, outputs WiFi network names and raw data:import networkwlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)wlan.active(True)print(wlan.scan())
