Les Pounder loves a blinking LED – it probably take him back to the flashing clock on his old VCR he could never reset…

YOU’LL NEED • Pi Pico, Pico W or Pico 2• 1x 100 ohm resistor (brown-black-brown-gold)• 1x breadboard• 4x M2M jumper wires• 1x LED• Get the code: https://bit.ly/lxf323 code The Arduino IDE is a popular choice for makers who work with microcontrollers. It writes code that is compiled and written for fast execution on the target microcontroller. But do we really need to spend big money on an Arduino? No! A $6 Raspberry Pi Pico or the new $13 Pico 2 also works thanks to a great piece of software from Earle F Philhower III (https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico), which makes it easy to write Arduino code on the Pico. Hello Arduino Earle F Philhower, III’s Arduino Core works with the Arduino IDE to bring compatibility to the Raspberry Pi Pico’s RP2040 and the…
