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

 Note  For International Makers, please check out our international partners who carry Maker Pi Pico Base.
 

It is a compact yet feature-packed board designed to sit at the heart of your STEM & robotics projects. Just use the jumper wires and/or Grove cables to connect any sensor and output modules to expand its capability. No soldering is required!

Maker Pi Pico can be programmed with CircuitPython, MicroPython & C/C++. Connect to any computer (including Raspberry Pi SBC) via USB, then drag and drop the file onto it to upload the program. It's as easy as copying a file into your thumb drive!

What is Raspberry Pi Pico W?

It is the Raspberry Pi Pico with built-in wireless :) Best of all, it has the same 40-pin assignment, dimension, and castellated edge PCB as the Raspberry Pi Pico. The Raspberry Pi Pico W is a direct replacement for Raspberry Pi Pico if you need to upgrade your product to Wireless or IoT! Of course, Raspberry Pi Pico W can be used for physical computing projects where it controls anything from small electronic components, LEDs, and motors; to reading information from sensors, or communicating with other microcontrollers.

We probably have lots of microcontrollers in our house already. For example, a washing machine is controlled by a microcontroller; most likely our watch is too; there is also one in a microwave. Of course, all these microcontrollers already have their programs for the applications. With Raspberry Pi Pico W (Wireless), upgrading your product to IoT (Internet of Things) will be easy!

What is Raspberry Pi Pico?

Raspberry Pi Pico is the first microcontroller board from Raspberry Pi Foundation, specially designed for physical computing. It can be programmed with MicroPython and C/C++ to control things in our real world.
