 <strong>Abstract</strong>: This project is an exploratory experiment to determine the capacity of an RP2040 microcontroller to measure the speed of light using the concepts exploited by a time domain reflectometer (TDR). TDRs leverage mismatches in a cable to measure the speed of light. This can be used to determine qualities like the length and quality of the cable and termination impedance. A handheld TDR can typically cost a user anywhere from $200 – $2,000, whereas a Raspberry Pi Pico costs approximately $4. This project aims to explore ways to implement a TDR using the RP2040 and to explore the boundaries in accuracy and precision in measuring the speed of light. The project involves designing and implementing a pulse generator and wave measurement scheme and thoroughly testing the system's capabilities to determine its usability in various experimental setups. Listing out the system's capabilities gives insight into its use cases classified by price vs. accuracy tradeoff. The project will continue to include the development of a straightforward user interface that allows users to quickly and easily pick up one of these and connect it to any BNC-terminated cable, allowing for a simplified experience<br>
