Running a Pico Without a Computer | Raspberry Pi Pico Workshop: Chapter 2.9

🔗 The full course : https://core-electronics.com.au/cours...

For most projects, you will want the Pico to be able to run without the need to be plugged into a computer. In this video, we go over how to do exactly that by uploading code to the Pico (and using the magical *main.py*), and learning how to power the Pico from other *sources of power*.
