Microcontrollers are a different type of device than Single Board Computers (like the\u00a0Raspberry Pi 4\u00a0and previous generations of Pi), they don&#8217;t run an operating system and they are typically programmed to do just one task &#8211; though that task can be pretty intricate and exciting! They&#8217;re perfect for experimenting with hardware and using as the brains of custom devices, machines and inventions. With the onboard 2.4GHz wireless capabilities of the Pico W, it&#8217;s now possible for your creations to talk to each other, and to the internet!<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the addition of wireless networking, Raspberry Pi Pico W is very similar to Raspberry Pi Pico and, like all RP2040-based boards, can be easily reprogrammed over USB from a Raspberry Pi or other computer using the C\/C++ SDK or the official MicroPython port.
