Checklist: Items You Might Already Have at Home

Before purchasing the kits or components, check if you already have these items:

USB Power Cable (Micro-USB): Check if you have a cable with a Micro-USB connector (the type used by the Raspberry Pi Pico WH).
Breadboard: If you've worked with electronics before, you might already own a breadboard.
Basic Components: You might have resistors, LEDs, and jumper wires from previous projects.
Temperature Sensors: If you've experimented with sensors, you might have DHT11 or DS18B20 sensors already.

If you have some of these items, you might only need to purchase the Raspberry Pi Pico WH and the specific kits or individual sensors that you are missing.

If you require any clarification regarding the course materials, battery power options or any other related topics, please don't hesitate to contact the course community through the Discord server. They are readily available to provide assistance and support as you embark on your Applied IoT journey. Have fun discovering the world of IoT and enjoy your learning experience!

While you are welcome to purchase components from other retailers it is crucial to ensure that the specifications of the Raspberry Pi Pico WH, USB power cable, DHT11 and breadboard are identical to those recommended. It is also possible to replace DHT11 with any other type of sensor from the list of our examples to build a basic project that is not focusing on temperature and humidity.
