Node-RED and Raspberry Pi Pico W Getting Started

About Course

Learn how to set up a system that contains Node-RED and the Raspberry Pi Pico W with this completely free course from Udemy. This course is perfect for beginners with a basic knowledge of electronics. It will guide you step-by-step through everything you need to know to use these two technologies.

This course covers essential topics such as MQTT, Ubuntu Linux virtual machines, Docker, and MySQL. You will learn about Node-RED and event-driven systems, how to install an instance using Docker, the basics of nodes and flows, the dashboard and MQTT. You will also learn how to use the Pico W as a Node-RED peripheral.

In this course, you’ll gain a solid understanding of Node-RED nodes, flows, and even MicroPython. You’ll be able to program the Pico W to interact with various peripherals.

This course is divided into three parts:

Part 1: Node-RED for the absolute beginner
Part 2: Add Raspberry Pi Pico W
Part 3: Additional Node-RED resources

Learn how to use Node-RED and the Raspberry Pi Pico W to create exciting projects. This course is completely free and available now on Theetay. Start learning today!
