Transform your Raspberry Pi Pico into a electronic adventure playground packed with physical computing goodies including an LCD screen, motor drivers, a mini breadboard, and much more! Pico Explorer lets you play with circuits, build science experiments, prototype tiny robots and inventions and, most importantly, Figure Out How It All Works.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve incorporated tinkering essentials like a\u00a0mini breadboard, motor drivers, ADC inputs, a built in speaker, general purpose inputs\/outputs, switches, and two Breakout Garden slots*<\/strong>\u00a0so you can add on a couple of our wide range of\u00a0Pimoroni breakouts.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also managed to fit in a vibrant\u00a0240\u00d7240 IPS LCD screen<\/strong>\u00a0with four\u00a0tactile buttons<\/strong>\u00a0so you can easily monitor and control what your project is doing. It\u2019s all wrapped up in a nice, sturdy baseboard with a pleasingly compact footprint which won\u2019t involve nearly as many trailing wires as if you were experimenting with a traditional breadboard setup. Boo wires, yay Pico Explorer!<\/p>\n

Our comprehensive MicroPython and C++ libraries will let you control every aspect of the board like a digital maestro. It\u2019s great for beginners, advanced users, and people who awkwardly sit somewhere in the middle and cannot be placed into a simple demographic bucket \u2013 we know who you are.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve really crammed all the functionality we could into this board \u2013 quite a few of us were lucky enough to have all-in-one electronic circuit kits when we were small and so we jumped at the chance to put together a bang up-to-date version.<\/p>\n

*Please note that C++\/MicroPython driver support for breakouts is still a work in progress.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Raspberry Pi Pico\u00a0<\/strong>and breadboardable components like LEDs, jumper wires and extra buttons are not included<\/strong>\u00a0(but you can find\u00a0them all under the extras tab!)<\/p>\n

Your Pico will need to have male headers soldered to it<\/strong>\u00a0(with the pins pointing downwards) to attach to our add-on boards.<\/p>\n
