The Raspberry Pi team has released the Pico, a $4 microcontroller that competes with Arduino.

If you're looking at comparing the Raspberry Pi Pico to Arduino boards, though they're broadly similar, they use different programming languages and have different pinouts.

How do Arduino and Raspberry Pi compare? We break down both sides of the DIY story and provide examples of why each may be best for your particular project.

Raspberry Pi releases the Pi Pico and is partnering with Arduino and Adafruit to expand the ecosystem around Raspberry Pi's own silicon.

Raspberry Pi Pico microcontrollers come with a variety of different features for a few bucks, and a few interesting differences between generations.

The build improves on prior work by [rgco] with the Arduino Uno, with which they built a device that could output at 381 kilosamples per second, with each sample update taking 42 instruction cycles.

However, the RP2040 chip found on the Raspberry Pi Pico struck him as the perfect way to emulate the transputer design.

Programming the Raspberry Pi Pico with Arduino IDE The tutorial on Hackster.io provides a comprehensive guide on how to program the Raspberry Pi Pico using the Arduino IDE.

Not only has Raspberry Pi launched its first microcontroller-class product - the Raspberry Pi Pico - but then Arduino have built on it with the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect.

The recently released Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect and Raspberry Pi Pico development boards are available from stock at Farnell. They are designed to accelerate development time and time-to-market.
