Raspberry Pi Pico With Pre-soldered Headers - RP2040 Microcontroller Board For DIY Projects

About This Product

Hey makers and tinkerers, check out this Raspberry Pi Pico – it's like a tiny but mighty brain for all your electronics projects! This little board comes with headers already soldered on, which is awesome because let's be honest, soldering can be a pain. At the heart of it is Raspberry Pi's own RP2040 chip, featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex M0+ processor that can zip along at up to 133 MHz. You get 264KB of SRAM and a generous 2MB of onboard flash memory to store your code. With 26 multi-function GPIO pins, you can connect all sorts of sensors, LEDs, and other components. It supports multiple communication protocols including 2x SPI, 2x I2C, and 2x UART, plus it has 3x 12-bit ADC channels and 16 controllable PWM channels. The board even includes a temperature sensor and some clever programmable I/O (PIO) state machines for creating custom peripherals. Programming is a breeze with options like MicroPython or C/C++, and you can just drag and drop your code via USB. The castellated edges mean you can solder it directly onto your own PCBs if you're building something more permanent. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn embedded systems or a pro building a prototype, this Pico is an incredibly versatile and affordable tool to have in your arsenal. It's perfect for everything from simple LED blinkers to more complex IoT devices. The included USB cable and extra pin header are nice touches that get you started right out of the box. Seriously, for the price, the performance and flexibility you get are pretty hard to beat. It's become a favorite in the maker community for good reason – powerful, accessible, and just fun to work with. If you've been curious about microcontrollers or want to step up from Arduino, this is a fantastic next step that won't break the bank.
