The Raspberry Pi Pico W is a microcontroller development platform that combines the RP2040 with a Wi-Fi controller to allow for the creation of internet-enabled RP2040 projects. The Pico W board has the same pinout and form factor as its predecessor, the Pico, which makes it a drop-in compatible solution for those looking to upgrade their pre-existing projects.

In this video, we will show you how to get started using the Pico w by updating the firmware and creating a simple web server using a MicroPython script.
