I’d like to become more proficient with circuits in my own way. That will mean some combination of electronics, software (the more familiar anchors) and transistors, wires, sensors, and breadboards (the less familiar to be explored).

I’m working with a Raspberry Pi Pico WH Ultimate IoT kit. So far I got the workspace set up in VSCode with the MicroPico extension, and did a simple blink test with the onboard LED.

I also then stuck the Pi into the included breadboard and set up a closed circuit with two wires, an LED, and a resistor. Then I loaded on a small Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) script. Here are the results.

Next I’ll try to build a more complex circuit so that I can start to get a more intuitive sense of how changing parts impacts the circuit as a whole.

Until next time!
