Its pre-soldered male header pins let you drop it straight into a breadboard or connect peripherals without any soldering, so you can start prototyping immediately. With 264KB of SRAM, 2MB of flash, and flexible I\/O, it is a robust choice for everything from simple sensor loggers to complex embedded controllers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrocontroller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRaspberry Pi RP2040\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProcessor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ @ 133 MHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSRAM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e264 KB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlash memory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 MB on‑board QSPI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGPIO pins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26 multifunction (3.3V logic)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnalog inputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 × 12‑bit ADC channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Can Build With This\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pi-pico-led-blink-kit-first-micropython-project-for-beginners\"\u003eA MicroPython blink script on the on‑board LED to learn the basics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kit-humidity-comfort-display\"\u003eA temperature and humidity monitor using an I2C sensor and a small OLED display\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA USB MIDI controller driven by the PIO state machines for precise timing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kit-line-following-robot\"\u003eA simple line‑following robot with two DC motors and an IR sensor array\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pico runs code written in MicroPython, C\/C++ (official SDK), or CircuitPython. It operates at 3.3V logic and comes with a 5V‑tolerant USB connector and a VSYS pin that accepts 3.5‑5.5V. The pre‑soldered headers follow a 2.54 mm pitch, so the board fits any standard breadboard and most Pico‑compatible add‑on modules like the Pimoroni Pico Display or the Pico Explorer Base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter plugging the Pico into a breadboard, connect power through the micro‑USB port or apply a regulated 3.3‑5V to the VSYS pin. Every GPIO operates at 3.3V; never feed 5V directly to a GPIO pin. For 5V peripherals, use level shifters or voltage dividers on the data lines. Each GPIO can source or sink up to 4 mA safely, so add external transistors for higher‑current loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing.
