Here is an example, explanation, pre-built micro-ROS static library, and a simple tutorial on how to re-build micro-ROS by yourself:

I am sure the micro-ROS team will do a much better job with the new Raspberry Pi microcontroller. However, I was impatient to see how it works 🙂

As an update on the topic: @lukicdarkoo has generously consented to [fork the repo](https://github.com/micro-ROS/micro_ros_raspberrypi_pico_sdk) to our organization, of which he’s the official maintainer! A great honour for us 🙂

Meanwhile, we’re anxiously waiting for the [Arduino Nano RP2040](https://blog.arduino.cc/2021/01/20/welcome-raspberry-pi-to-the-world-of-microcontrollers/) to be delivered to the thirsty masses, so we can provide an alternative port of micro-ROS to the brand new Raspi Pi Pico via [our successful integration](https://github.com/micro-ROS/micro_ros_arduino) w/ the Arduino ecosystem. Stay tuned!

micro-ROS has gotten all the way to the [Ubuntu blog](https://ubuntu.com/blog) (an article which first appeared [here](https://artivis.github.io/post/2021/pi-pico-uros-getting-started/)): check out [this blogpost](https://ubuntu.com/blog/getting-started-with-micro-ros-on-raspberry-pi-pico) detailing step-by-step how to put your [Raspberry Pi Pico](https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-pico/) into communication with the ROS 2 ecosystem, thanks to the [port of micro-ROS](https://github.com/micro-ROS/micro_ros_raspberrypi_pico_sdk) to this board!

Thanks @Jeremie for the dissemination effort!
