About this item
- What is the RPi Pico? The Raspberry Pi RPi Pico is a compact microcontroller development board used to control and automate electronic circuits. It’s ideal for applications like robotics, home automation, data logging, sensor monitoring, and interactive projects. The Raspberry Pi Pico is a compact microcontroller board used to control and automate electronic circuits. It’s ideal for applications like robotics, home automation, data logging, sensor monitoring, and interactive projects. To gain even more features the Pico Base is a perfect complementary accessory to the Pico family.
- Loaded with Features: The Pico Base is packed with features. Besides the reset button, power LED, and so much more, the most notable feature are the 5V and 3.3V I2C ports. Both of these ports can be used at the same time! Therefore, you can connect a 3.3V I2C sensor module via the QWIIC connector and at the same time connect a 5V I2C LCD backpack. For a detailed description of all the features please see the Datasheet, which can be found on our “PTSolns Documentation Repository”.
- Compatibility: The Pico Base expansion board is compatible with all members of the RPi Pico family, including: The Pico, Pico W, Pico H, Pico WH, Pico 2, and Pico 2 W.
- What’s Included: Each package includes one (1) PTSolns Pico Base, two (2)1x20Pin Female Header, one (1) 1x40Pin Male Header (OR two (2) 1x20Pin Male Header). SOLDERING IS REQUIRED.
