My history with microcontrollers go back to the late 90s using PIC16s followed by AVR ATtiny\/mega (Arduino etc.) as I dabble with Electronics from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think it has ever been this easy to use a microcontroller as it is with the Raspberry Pi Pico. Trust me back in the late 90s you had to etch your own PCB and build a PIC programmer if you were on a budget. Now for \u00a33 you can buy an incredibly powerful microcontroller and program it just by plugging it into a USB port. &#x1f92f;<\/p>\n<p>In this guide I will show you how I have setup my Mac running macOS Big Sur and is able to build and debug C\/C++ code on a Raspberry Pi Pico.
