SunFounder Kepler Kit for Raspberry Pi Pico W¶
Thank you for choosing the SunFounder Kepler Kit
This is an learning kit based on the Raspberry Pi Pico W.
Raspberry Pi Pico W adds on-board single-band 2.4GHz wireless interfaces (802.11n) using the Infineon CYW4343 while retaining the Pico form factor, so in addition to the basic GPIO function, it can also connect to the network so we can use it for some IoT projects. For example, using IFTTT for a security system, building a cloud player and a cloud service bell system using MQTT and so on.
This kit contains a variety of components, including displays, sounds, drivers, controllers and sensors, which allows you to gain a comprehensive understanding of electronic devices.
Additionally, we offer three programming languages. MicroPython, C/C++ (Arduino) and Piper Make are all available. To help you get started quickly, each language has targeted and interesting projects, so you can pick one that meets your needs.
Please feel free to e-mail us if you are interested in learning other projects we don’t have. We will update our online tutorials as soon as possible.
Here is the email: cs@sunfounder.com.
About the display language
In addition to English, we are working on other languages for this course. Please contact service@sunfounder.com if you are interested in helping, and we will give you a free product in return. In the meantime, we recommend using Google Translate to convert English to the language you want to see.
The steps are as follows.
In this course page, right-click and select Translate to xx. If the current language is not what you want, you can change it later.

There will be a language popup in the upper right corner. Click on the menu button to choose another language.

Select the language from the inverted triangle box, and then click Done.
