Raspberry Pi Pico is a small but powerful microcontroller board that is very versatile and affordable. It is designed for physical computing projects and is suitable for both beginners and experienced users. Pico with headers is delivered with pre-soldered headers.
Note! The USB cable is not included in the package and must be purchased separately.
Raspberry Pi Pico is a small, fast, extremely affordable and incredibly versatile microcontroller. It is produced by the same team as the Raspberry Pi computer and is designed to conquer the world of physical computing. Pico is based on the powerful RP2040 dual ARM Cortex-M0+ @ 133 MHz chip designed by Raspberry Pi. It also has 264 kB of on-chip RAM and supports up to 16 MB of external Flash memory. The device is fully equipped with hardware and flexible I/O options, making it perfect for beginners and experts.
The Pico is supplied with pre-soldered header pins. When you open the package, it is ready to use immediately. It can be plugged directly into a breadboard or connected with jumper wires directly, and you don't even need a soldering iron.
Unlike Raspberry Pi computers, the Pico does not run an operating system. Instead, the board is programmed to perform only the tasks required by the project in which it is used. It can be programmed with the C/C++ SDK or with MicroPython. Code can be written on a desktop computer or a Raspberry Pi and then transferred to the Pico via USB. There are several programming editor options. We recommend Thonny because it is designed to be beginner-friendly. It is also available for Windows, Mac and Linux, including Raspberry Pi.
The device has a USB port and 40 user header pins, of which 30 are GPIO pins. These include 4 analog inputs, 2 UART interfaces, 2 SPI controllers, 2 I2C interfaces, 16 PWM channels and 8 PIO state machines. Please note that the Pico's I/O voltage is fixed at 3.3 V.
