We'll learn that you can attach an audio jack to a Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W with simple alligator clips, but we'll also learn about breadboard-mounted audio jacks, and how to use a simple low-cost amplifier to run a speaker off the Pico's own power source.
We'll then get sound to play from the Pico using wav files and mp3s. We'll use re-usable routines that you can copy & paste any time you want to play these types of files in your own builds. And we'll learn how to use Audacity to create .wav and .mp3 files that will play via CircuitPython. Crank up the Big Learning - this one goes to 11!
