'Meet the Raspberry Pi Pico, a tiny little microcontroller that lets you build hardware projects with some code running on the microcontroller.'
Note that “Pi Pico” is the name of the board, the microcontroller chip itself being the “RP2040” (“RP” standing for “Raspberry Pi”, of course). Here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmEyrOTYYCA> is a review of another board using that same microcontroller. It’s even smaller than the Pi Pico -- about the size of a UK postage stamp. Of course the downside is having fewer connector pins, but for some applications that may be fine.
