Aim:
To compare the features and uses of Arduino Uno and Raspberry Pi Pico.

Requirments:

• Arduino Uno board (or Tinkercad simulation)

• Raspberry Pi Pico board (or diagram)

• Computer with Arduino IDE & Thonny IDE installed

• Internet access for datasheets and specifications

Procedure:

1. Observe the Boards
   • Look closely at each board.

   • Identify the USB port, microcontroller chip, reset button, and pin headers.

2. Label the Components
   • Use a diagram or photo to label:
     • CPU (main chip)

     • Power pins (Vcc, GND)

     • Digital and Analog pins

     • Communication ports (I2C, SPI, UART)

     • Onboard LEDs

3. Research Specifications
   • From the official Arduino and Raspberry Pi websites, note:
     • Processor type

     • Clock speed

     • RAM and Flash size

     • Power requirements

     • Supported programming languages

4. Test a Simple Program 
   • Arduino: Upload the “Blink” program from Arduino IDE and see the LED flash.

   • Pico: Write a MicroPython blink program in Thonny and run it.

5. Create a Comparison Chart
   • Fill in at least seven differences between the two boards in your notebook.

6. Think of Applications
   • Suggest one project for Arduino (e.g., automatic plant watering system).

Suggest one project for Pico (e.g., Wi-Fi-enabled temperature logger).
