1 Introduction

Raspberry Pi Pico is a “downscaled” version of the original Raspberry Pi and is more comparable with Arduino compared to the original Raspberry Pi. You also need to use a downscaled version of Python, called MicroPython.

You can buy Raspberry Pi Pico many places, like Sparkfun, Adafruit, Elfa Distrelec, RS Online, Digi-Key, etc.

Raspberry Pi Pico comes in 4 different types:

Raspberry Pi Pico (original)
Raspberry Pi Pico H - pre-soldered Header pins included (makes it easy to put the Pico on a breadboard)
Raspberry Pi Pico W – WiFi included
Raspberry Pi Pico WH – WiFi and pre-soldered Header pins included (makes it easy to put the Pico on a breadboard)

I recommend Raspberry Pi Pico WH which has builtin WiFi and pre-soldered Header pins for easy use together with a breadboard. It is also possible to buy separate header pins and solder them. Here are examples from Digi-Key and Sparkfun.
