# Freenove Ultimate Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi Pico: lesson by lesson, simulated

Every project of the kit’s Python tutorial, chapter by chapter, as a MicroPython program on a simulated Raspberry Pi Pico, wired to the GP pins the tutorial’s code uses: from a blinking LED through shift registers, motors and an RFID reader to a Pico W web page.

Lesson by lesson

## Every lesson in the kit’s order

Lesson numbers and titles follow the Python tutorial of fnk0058-docs v1.0.0. Each circuit uses the kit’s parts on the pins the lesson uses.

50 of the 55 lessons with a circuit run here, 6 of them with a change we name, 5 coming soon, 1 setup lesson needs no circuit.

### Getting Ready (Important)

No circuit

Installing Thonny and putting MicroPython on the Pico. Nothing to install here: the editor runs MicroPython v1.29 on the simulated board and copies your files on at Run.

1.1

Open in the editor MicroPython UART loopback on a Pico: GP8 to GP1

9.1

### Read the Voltage of Potentiometer

Runs here

A potentiometer on GP26 (ADC0): its reading and its voltage, ten times a second.

A 74HC595 (DS GP18, ST_CP GP20, SH_CP GP21) walks one lit bar across eight bars of the graph and back.

OE is on GP19, which the tutorial’s driver holds low to turn the outputs on; its drawing ties OE to ground instead, which does the same.

Open in the editor MicroPython 74HC595 flowing light on a Pico

### LED Matrix

Coming soon

Two 74HC595s drive an 8x8 LED matrix, scanned column by column, to show a smiley and scroll 0 to F.

17.1

### Relay & Motor

Runs here

Each press of the button on GP15 flips a relay through an S8050 on GP14, and the relay runs the DC motor.

The 5 V comes from the breadboard power module on a 9 V battery, as in the lesson. A 1N4007 stands in for the lesson’s 1N4001 across the coil.

Open in the editor MicroPython relay and motor on a Pico: a button toggles it

18.1

### Control Motor with Potentiometer

Runs, with a change

The knob on GP26 drives the motor both ways on an L293D: IN1 on GP15, IN2 on GP16 and PWM enable on GP17.

The L293D runs from the Pico’s VBUS (5 V) here. The lesson uses two AA cells, about 3 V, less than the 4.5 V the simulated L293D needs, as the chip’s datasheet does.

Open in the editor MicroPython L293D motor on a Pico: a knob sets speed

19.1

An HC-SR04 with TRIG on GP19 and ECHO on GP18, its echo timed by hand, prints centimeters twice a second.

A 1k and a 2k on ECHO bring its 5 V signal down to the 3.3 V the pin takes; the tutorial wires ECHO straight to the pin.

Open in the editor MicroPython HC-SR04 on a Pico, timed by hand

22.2

### Ultrasonic Ranging

Runs, with a change

The same ranger read through a small driver module in its own tab.

Open in the editor MicroPython keypad door lock on a Pico: servo and buzzer

24.1

### Infrared Remote Control

Runs here

An IR receiver decodes the kit remote’s NEC frames and prints each button’s hex code.

Open in the editor MicroPython IR remote on a Pico: print each button’s code

24.2

### Control LED through Infrared Remote

Remote keys 0 to 3, read on GP16, set four brightness levels for the LED on GP14 and beep the buzzer.

Open in the editor MicroPython IR remote dimmer on a Pico: keys 0 to 3

25.1

### Hygrothermograph

25.2

### Hygrothermograph

Runs here

26.1

### Infrared Motion Detector with LED Indicator

Runs here

An HC-SR501 on GP18 lights the LED on GP15 for as long as it sees motion.

Motion lights the LED here, as the lesson describes. The lesson’s printed code tests for a low output, which would do the opposite.

Open in the editor MicroPython motion sensor on a Pico: PIR on GP18, LED

27.1

### Read an MPU6050 Sensor Module

Runs here

An MPU6050 on I2C bus 1 prints its raw acceleration and rotation, and the same in g and degrees per second.

SCL is on GP15 and SDA on GP14: the tutorial’s code uses these pins; its drawing shows GP5 and GP4.

Open in the editor MicroPython MPU6050 on a Pico: acceleration and rotation

28.1

### RFID read UID

Runs here

An RC522 on SoftSPI (SCK GP2, MOSI GP3, MISO GP4, CS GP5) prints a card’s UID and reads block 8 with the factory key.

Open in the editor MicroPython RFID on a Pico: read a card’s UID, RC522

28.2

### RFID Read and Write

Runs, with a change

Text typed in the Serial Monitor is written to block 8 of a card on the reader and read back to check it.

The lesson’s menu for reading, writing and clearing the whole card or one block is cut down to one job: write block 8 and read it back.

Open in the editor MicroPython RFID on a Pico: write a card and read it back

29.1

### Station mode

Runs here

The Pico W joins a WiFi network and prints the IP address, mask and gateway it was given.

On a Pico W, as the chapter needs. The board joins Mokxi’s simulated access point, whose name and password are the board’s WiFi properties.

Open in the editor MicroPython WiFi station mode on a Pico W

29.2

### AP mode

Runs, with a change

The Pico W starts an access point of its own and prints its name and settings.

The access point comes up and reports its settings, but nothing can join it in the simulator. The lesson’s fixed 192.168.1.10 address is left out.

Open in the editor MicroPython WiFi access point mode on a Pico W

29.3

### AP+Station mode

Runs, with a change

The Pico W runs its own access point and joins a network at the same time.

The station joins Mokxi’s simulated access point; the board’s own access point comes up, but nothing can join it in the simulator.

Open in the editor MicroPython WiFi AP and station at once on a Pico W

30.1

### as Client

Coming soon

The Pico W joins WiFi, connects to a TCP server on a computer and echoes what it is sent.

The lesson talks to a Processing program on your computer over TCP. The simulated network has no computer on it to answer, so this one is not here yet.

30.3

### as Server

Coming soon

The Pico W listens on a TCP port for a client on a computer and echoes what it sends.

The lesson’s client is a Processing program on your computer, on port 8000. The simulated network reaches a board only on port 80, from the Web panel, so this one is not here yet.

31.1

### Control the LED with Web

Runs here

A web page served by the Pico W on port 80, with ON and OFF links that switch the board’s own LED. Open it from the Web panel.

On a Pico W, as the chapter needs. The board joins Mokxi’s simulated access point, whose name and password are the board’s WiFi properties.

Open in the editor MicroPython web server on a Pico W: switch the LED

32.1

### Bluetooth Passthrough

Coming soon

The Pico W advertises a BLE serial service and passes text between a phone app and the shell.

Bluetooth on the Pico W’s radio chip is not simulated yet.

32.3

### Bluetooth Control LED

Coming soon

Text sent from a phone over BLE turns the LED on GP15 on and off.

Bluetooth on the Pico W’s radio chip is not simulated yet.

FAQ

## Questions about this page

Is this made by Freenove?

No. Mokxi is independent and is not affiliated with Freenove. The page follows the kit’s lessons so you can use the two side by side; the circuits, sketches and explanations are Mokxi’s own.

Do I need the kit?

No. Every lesson that runs here runs in the browser, so you can try them before you buy a kit, or keep going while a part is missing or broken.

Is the code the same as in my manual?

The pins and the parts are the same, and the programs are MicroPython running on the real MicroPython firmware, with the same built-in modules. The code itself is written for this page, with comments that explain each step, and a few small drivers of our own stand in for the kit’s driver files, so it will not match the manual line for line.

What do "with a change" and "coming soon" mean?

A lesson marked "with a change" runs, but something differs from the kit, and the note under it says exactly what. "Coming soon" means we cannot simulate that lesson yet, and the note says why. We do not mark a lesson as running unless it does.

Is it free?

Yes. Every lesson on this page opens with no account. A free account saves your own copies of the circuits.
