Building a GPS Mechanical Clock: Getting Started With The Raspberry Pi Pico

Today we're in the electronics lab, starting a new project with the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller. The long-term plan is to build a gloriously ridiculous mechanical clock. The project for today is just to get started with the pico, work out the circuitry and the software development environment, and maybe share some tips that will make your projects quicker and easier.
