When it comes to microcontrollers, Arduino UNO, Raspberry Pi and MicroBit are used. The MicroBit is probably the least demanding of these, as the software to be written to the MicroBit microcontroller can be written in three main ways, or in blocks as in Scratch. Another commonly used microcontroller is the Arduino UNO from the Arduino series. This microcontroller is similarly available with the Arduino IDE C software, which can be downloaded free of charge. As these microcontrollers are widely used by many people, a lot of information is available on the web, and this information makes them much easier to use.

Now, the Raspberry Pi is a bit harder than these two microcontrollers. This is because the Raspberry Pi Pico-specific C software is not immediately available. Therefore, we will use the C language of the Arduino IDE to set up a relatively simple runtime environment.

This book explains the Raspberry Pi Pico and the C language by creating a game in C for those who are new to the Raspberry Pi Pico. Use this book as a starting point to learn more about Raspberry Pi Pico and the C language.
