How fast can a Raspberry pi change its Gpio Pins per second? (lemmy.ml)

Im currently making a costum 10x10 led matrix, and for it to be able to display senseable stuff, im trying to segment the display into 10 vertical lines which cycle at at least 100hz. Would a Python script on a raspberry pi be able to cycle its GPIO pins at this speed? Or Would an arduino or other Microcontroller be able to do it better?

RPI pico is probably a better choice. A rpi 5 can do stuff like WiFi servers and browsers but that's not what you will do with it.

Thats what I was planning

Tho, is it possible to connect a Pico w (with wifi) to my network and pull data from an API Server? Or do I have to somehow manually transfer that via some gpio Pins and an extra library?

No it works with simple WiFi stuff.
