What can you expect?

During the webinar, we will discuss the Raspberry Pi Pico and the functionality of SparkFun's RP2040-based boards — the SparkFun RP2040 Pro Micro, MicroMod Processor, and Thing Plus. The engineers will answer the following questions and more.
 
  • Why did Raspberry Pi develop the Pico and RP2040? What was their approach? What engineering challenges did they encounter?
  • What are SparkFun's RP2040-based solutions? What was involved in the engineering process?
  • Which sort of projects and products can webinar attendees develop with these innovative products?
  • Live Q&A with the engineers! Ask about these technologies or any of the projects in the March/April 2021 edition of Elektor, curated by SparkFun!

Also, at the end of the webinar, we will be giving away some Raspberry Pico Boards, Sparkfun Boards, and 10 copies of the first complete book about the Raspberry Pi Pico published by Elektor. We will randomly select winners from the list of webinar attendees!
