Connect a Pico W to an Anvil app

The Pico W is Raspberry Pi’s powerful WiFi-enabled microcontroller board. Using the Anvil Uplink, you can connect your Pico W to an Anvil app. Meredydd sat down with the lovely people from Tom’s Hardware to demonstrate how to do just that.

In his episode of The PiCast, Meredydd builds two projects, live on stream:

  1. Displaying a message on an e-ink display

  2. Logging data from a sensor

Watch the episode to learn how it’s done:
