Details
The official RP2040 board — dual-core, and unusually well documented for the price. Its distinguishing feature is PIO: programmable state machines that generate or capture timing-critical signals in hardware, so driving LED strips or a bit-banged protocol does not cost you the main CPU.
Runs MicroPython or C. Ships with no headers soldered, and 3.3 V GPIO that are not 5 V tolerant. If you need Wi-Fi, you want the Pico W, not this.

Blink the on-board LED (MicroPython)
# Nothing to wire — the LED is on GP25.
# On a Pico W it is Pin("LED") instead.
from machine import Pin
import time
led = Pin(25, Pin.OUT)
while True:
led.toggle()
time.sleep(0.5)Scan the I2C bus (MicroPython)
# module SDA -> GP0 (pin 1), SCL -> GP1 (pin 2)
# module VCC -> 3V3(OUT) (pin 36), GND -> GND (pin 38)
from machine import Pin, I2C
i2c = I2C(0, sda=Pin(0), scl=Pin(1), freq=400000)
found = i2c.scan()
if not found:
print("nothing on the bus — check wiring and pull-ups")
for addr in found:
print("device at 0x{:02x}".format(addr))
