Raspberry Pi Pico With Pre-Soldered Headers - RP2040 Microcontroller Board For Beginners

About This Product

Hey makers and beginners, meet the Raspberry Pi Pico - this little board is packed with power and comes with pre-soldered headers so you can start prototyping immediately! Based on Raspberry Pi's own RP2040 microcontroller chip, it features a dual-core Arm Cortex M0+ processor that can run up to 133 MHz - pretty impressive for such an affordable board. You get 264KB of SRAM and 2MB of onboard Flash memory to work with, plus 26 multi-function GPIO pins that give you tons of connectivity options. The kit includes the Pico with headers already soldered (saving you time and frustration), a 3-pin yellow pin header, and a USB-A to micro-B cable so you can get powered up right away. Programming is super beginner-friendly with drag-and-drop programming using mass storage over USB - no complicated setups needed. You can use either Raspberry Pi's C/C++ SDK or MicroPython, and there's extensive documentation and community resources to help you learn. The board features 2x SPI, 2x I2C, 2x UART, 3x 12-bit ADC, and 16 controllable PWM channels for all your project needs. There's even a temperature sensor on board and accelerated floating-point libraries. The 8 programmable I/O state machines let you create custom peripherals, which is pretty advanced stuff for a beginner board. Unlike regular Raspberry Pi computers, the Pico is a microcontroller without an operating system - you program it directly to control sensors, LEDs, motors, and other components. It's perfect for learning physical computing, IoT projects, robotics, or just experimenting with electronics. The castellated module design means you can even solder it directly to carrier boards for permanent projects. Seriously, whether you're just starting out or looking for an affordable microcontroller for your next project, the Pico delivers incredible value and performance.
