Chapter 9 page 228

Detailed description

The text explains that, "Pin 19 is the bottom-left, Pin 20 the bottom-right". While the Figure 9-12 shows pins 1-20 on left side and pins 21-40 on the right. This same mistake is also made in 'Getting started with MicroPhython on Raspberry Pi Pico" by Garath Halfacree and Ben Everard (RPi_PiPico_Digital_v11.pdf), on page 35.

Thanks, @Rueful-Pi, I appreciate your catching this. We will correct this in a future printing of the book. I will also make sure the error does not exist in the upcoming 2nd Edition of our _Get Started with MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pic_o book.

Cheers,

Brian

Will there be new projects in the 2nd Edition?

bjepson commented 1 month ago

Yes! We're replacing the LCD display with more affordable, and more widely available SSD1306 OLEDs, and have also added a couple of Wi-Fi projects and some BLE example code.

Sounds awesome, I'm looking forward to that. Wi-Fi projects and BLE examples will be excellent!
