Picamera2 is the libcamera-based replacement for Picamera which was a Python interface to the Raspberry Pi's legacy camera stack. Picamera2 also presents an easy to use Python API. Picamera2 is currently available as a beta release. This means there may still be some issues and bugs which shall be worked on fixing, and where users identify particularly useful features may still be considered implementing them. ~ Download The Picamera2 Library Manual (PDF)

Rust Embedded aims to be a resource for Rust programmers writing software for embedded devices. The Embedded Rust Book is an introductory book about using the Rust Programming Language on "Bare Metal" embedded systems, such as Microcontrollers. Another one  Discover the world of microcontrollers through Rust! There are currently two versions of this book. The first is older and uses an F3 Discovery circuit board to introduce you to microcontrollers and Rust, while the second is newer and uses a micro:bit circuit board instead. ~  Older book, using an F3 discovery board ~  Newer book, using a micro:bit

This video show first power up Raspberry Pi Pico W and install MicroPython firmware on it. To download MicroPython firmware (in UF2 form) for Raspberry Pi Pico W, visit: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/micropython.html#drag-and-drop-micropython or from MicroPython page here:  https://micropython.org/download/rp2-pico-w/ New Pico W come with empty Flash memory, and boot up in BOOTSEL mode. So I can drag-and-drop the MicroPython UF2 file to Pico W directly. If your Pico W is not in BOOTSEL mode, you can hold down the BOOTSEL button when you plug in your Pico, it will appear as a drive onto which you can drag a new UF2 file. or, you can restore factory flash memory with flash_nuke.uf2 HERE .
