Meet Your Pico 2 W
Meet the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W before writing code: find the USB port, chip, wireless area, pins, power pins, and safe wiring rules.

Meet the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W before writing code: find the USB port, chip, wireless area, pins, power pins, and safe wiring rules.
Install Thonny, the editor students will use to write and run MicroPython on the Pico 2 W.
Use Thonny to install MicroPython firmware so the Pico 2 W can run student code.
Run your first MicroPython hardware loop by blinking the Pico 2 W built-in LED.
Move from the built-in LED to a real breadboard circuit: LED polarity, resistor placement, GP15 output control, and first wiring debug habits.
Wire an LED bar graph and use MicroPython lists, loops, and helper functions to display rising and falling levels.
Use Pulse Width Modulation to fade an LED smoothly and learn duty cycle, frequency, range, and cleanup.
Wire a common-cathode RGB LED and use three PWM channels to mix colors with 0-255 color values.
