Raspberry Pi / RP2040 / Pico / Pico Accessories

These two Short Plug / Male Headers alone are, well, lonely. But pair them with the Raspberry Pi Pico, and you're in business! These 2.54mm / 0.1" pitch headers are particularly cute and tiny and are designed to match perfectly with the Pico and our short socket headers. Note that you could use normal header with those sockets headers, but these are short and don't...

These two Stacking Headers alone are, well, lonely. But pair them with the Raspberry Pi Pico, and you're in business! What do they do? They stack. Put the headers through your Pico and then you can not only plug them into a solderless breadboard or perma-proto, but you could attach circuitry on top as well. If you want the Pico up top for access to the boot button,...

These Socket Headers alone are, well, lonely. But pair them with the Raspberry Pi Pico, and you're in business! These headers are particularly cute and tiny with a body height of just 5.0 mm they are the best way to minimize the amount of space your Pico project takes up, but still maintain that flexible configuration. "Normal" socket headers have an 8.5mm body...

These Socket Headers alone are, well, lonely. But pair them with the Raspberry Pi Pico, and you're in business! Socket headers are like the duct tape of electronics. They're great for connecting things, soldering to perf-boards, sockets for wires or break-away header, etc. These particular ones are designed to match up with boards that have two rows of 20 pins, so...

This handy GPIO reference card is the perfect pocket-friendly go-to resource for navigating your way around the Raspberry Pi Pico. We designed a full-color pin-out diagram and printed it on card-stock so you can parse your power from your PWM and separate your SPI from your Serial UART. All the pin uses are labeled for quick reference. On the back we have a quick...

Cytron's Maker Pi RP2040 features the new Raspberry Pi RP2040 chip embedded on a robot controller board. The board comes with a dual-channel DC motor driver, 4 servo motor ports, and 7 Grove I/O connectors. Now you can build your new robot friend while simultaneously trying out the new RP2040 chip! The onboard DC motor driver can control 2 x brushed DC motors or 1 x...

This SHIM from the Pimoroni Pirates provides a convenient way of powering your Raspberry Pi Pico from a LiPo/LiIon battery. You can recharge the battery easily by providing power to the Pico's USB port, then take your Pico or Pico W project on the go with the battery pack powering your circuitry. Solder this neat little square to the pins on the back of your Pico,...

It can be tricky to work out which pin is which when the Raspberry Pi Pico is attached to solderless breadboard. Luckily, the MonkMakes Breadboard for Pico solves this problem by labeling the Pico pins on the breadboard. This cute 3.2″ × 2.1″ (82 × 53mm) solderless half-size breadboard has four bus lines and 30 rows of pins, our favorite size...

Cytron's Maker Pi Pico Base incorporates the most wanted Reset button for your Raspberry Pi Pico and gives you access to all GPIO pins on two 20-pin headers, with clear labels. Each GPIO is paired with an LED indicator for convenient code testing and troubleshooting. The bottom of the board even comes with a comprehensive pinout diagram showing the function of each...

This book will teach you Python programming and some basic electronics without assuming any prior knowledge of either subject. The book initially focuses on Python programming, building up a Morse Code example using the Raspberry Pi Pico's built-in LED. Once you have leveled up on the basics of coding the Pico or Pico W, the book will introduce electronics, showing...

This low-cost and simple-to-use electronics kit will teach you electronics and coding with Simon Monk's Programming the Pico: Learn Coding & Electronics with the Pico. Build ten great projects including a touch switch, a thermometer, a light meter, and a lie detector. The kit includes: custom half-size breadboard with Pico pin names. jumper wires. header pins....

This one's going out to all the makers and designers who love using terminal blocks for wiring up their projects. This adapter plate is perfect for industrial / robotics projects with a lot of wires. You connect your Raspberry Pi Pico to this breakout PCB, which comes with a plastic enclosure with screw-mount nubs at each end. Attach to any surface by drilling two...

Microcontrollers, like RP2040 at the heart of Raspberry Pi Pico, are computers stripped back to their base essentials. You don't use monitors or keyboards, but program them to take their input from, and send their output to the input/output pins. Using these programmable connections, you can light lights, make noises, send text to screens, and much more. In Get...

Intrigued by the possibilities of VGA Demo Base but no longer own a D-sub cable? No problem! This board is an all-digital conversion of Raspberry Pi's VGA reference design, great if you want to start hacking on video and/or audio output from a Raspberry Pi Pico and piping it straight into a modern monitor. The folks at Pimoroni been using this board with Wren6991's...

This one's going out to all the makers and designers who love using terminal blocks for wiring up their projects. This adapter plate is perfect for industrial / robotics projects with a lot of wires. You connect your Raspberry Pi Pico to this breakout PCB. All wires are broken out into terminal blocks, so you can connect and power your sensors, displays,...

Built especially to showcase the low-cost, feature-rich RP2040 chip on the Raspberry Pi Pico, this board has VGA output, an SD card slot, digital I2S audio output, and more! Based on the reference design by Raspberry Pi, our Pimoroni Pico VGA Demo Base is a great way to start experimenting with Raspberry Pi Pico/RP2040. It's the perfect way to demo some of the fun...

From the folks at Solder Party comes this adapter designed specifically to drive the Keyboard FeatherWing with a Raspberry Pi Pico. It can be easily soldered using the SMD pads or using pin headers to plug the Pico into the Adapter. The Pico boards are quite handy and economical, so they make a great complement to Feather boards for the FeatherWing. No extra...
