Maker Pi Pico Project Collection 2024

Microcontroller: Maker Pi Pico: Simplifying Raspberry Pi Pico for Beginners

Maker Pi Pico is a compact yet feature-packed board designed to sit at the heart of your STEM & robotics projects. Just use the jumper wires and/or Grove cables to connect any sensor and output modules to expand its capability. No soldering is required!

1. Encoder Light Blocking Sensor:

A light-blocking sensor using a Maker Pi Pico detects the presence or absence of light by measuring the change in resistance across a photoresistor.
