Learning to code, especially with electronics can be fraught with issues. Are your connections correct, are they designed to work with your board and is your code correct? All of these issues can be deadly to the progress of a learner. Learning to fail and try again is a key skill, but it requires some level of success. Pico Bricks aims to make it easier for learners to code and make electronic circuits using our favorite microcontroller, the Raspberry Pi Pico.
There are three kits. A $59 base kit which provides the main board and a few extra components. The IOTExpert Kit comes in at $84 and, with it, you get more components to build a smart greenhouse, servo controls and work with sensors. The top tier kit is the $117 Zero to Hero kit, and this kit packs the IOT kit along with servo controlled robotics, a robot chassis, RFID reader and many other sensors.
