In this tutorial, we learn to use the system timer peripheral of Raspberry Pi Pico. As we mentioned earlier, This development board comes with RP2040’s microcontrollers. This RP2040 MCU has a system timer peripheral that provides a global microsecond timebase and generates interrupts for it. In this tutorial, we will focus learn to configure Raspberry … Read more
In this tutorial, we will learn how to interface the KY-023 Analog Joystick module with Raspberry Pi Pico using MicroPython. We will start with an introduction to the module, its pinout, and how it works internally. Then we will write a MicroPython sketch to read the x-axis, y-axis, and push-button states from the joystick in … Read more
This guide focuses on the TM1637 4-digit 7-segment display module and its interfacing with the Raspberry Pi Pico. Unlike a standard 4-digit 7-segment display which requires 12 pins to connect to a microcontroller, the TM1637 module uses only four pins, making it a very convenient and practical choice. We will discuss this module’s description, pinout, … Read more
