Raspberry Pico Adventures

In the next posts I will tell about my explorations with the Raspberry Pi Pico W using the C/C++ SDK. As a first project, I decided to adapt a piece of code I wrote using the Arduino libraries for an ESP8266 board. This code (that you can see here , with comments in Portuguese) get the current time and date from an NTP server. In this post I will give a brief explanation of the Simple Network Time Protocol that is used for that.

 With the general availability of the RP2040, it was only a matter of time until we got Chinese boards with the same form factor as the Raspberry Pi Pico. I review here one of the many options you can find at AliExpress.
