This collection of videos contains projects you can make with the Raspberry Pi PICO microcontrollers. Fun to make and a rewarding experience.
This is great project for someone looking to understand more about their heart rate. This monitor uses a state of the art sensor for detecting your heartbeat. That information is logged into a universal CSV file for easy import into a spreadsheet for detailed analysis.
The sub-story about this project has to do with using artificial intelligence to help write the program. This was my first journey down this path and frankly I was both surprised and happy I did it. If you are at all curious about AI as a tool to help with programming, this is a MUST WATCH VIDEO.
Project components include:
Raspberry Pi PICO
Pimoroni PICO Display Pack
MAX30102 pulse detection sensor
AAA battery pack
3D printed parts (step files included)
A GREAT EXPLORATION WHY AI CAN BE SO HELPFUL!

Here is a great PICO powered project that looks very attractive and is highly functional. The design for "Hollow Clock 3" is by Shiura who hosts it on Thingiverse. Originally designed for an Arduino, I felt that those of us in the PICO community needed a PICO powered version. A fun project that is also fairly inexpensive.

In this video, we will show you how to add WiFi connectivity to the DHT11 Temp & Humidity Sensor Project. Using a very nice HTLM framework found on another website, we will tailor that example to allow us to set the current date and time in the PICO from a remote computer. Be sure to watch these videos first...

This is a great project for anyone that does photography or 3D scanning. This turntable features variable speed, CW or CCW direction selection, and incremental indexing of a programable number of degrees and activated by a remote switch. Most parts are 3D printed and can be printed with most 3D printers using PLA.

In this video, Chris explains how he made a tachometer for his precision drill press. The spindle on this machine runs at 11,000 and this tachometer can easily handle that speed. Utilizing a 3D printer, the housing can be made quickly and easily. The tachometer is run on a PICO, and uses the Waveshare 1.28" round display and an RPR-220 photo reflective sensor.
