Raspberry Pi Pico Board Pre-Soldered Headers - Compoden
Raspberry Pi Pico with Pre-Soldered Header Pins
This is the official Raspberry Pi Pico board featuring the RP2040 microcontroller chip, now with header pins already soldered. It’s ready to plug into a breadboard or socket without the hassle of manual soldering. The dual-core Arm Cortex M0+ processor, flexible I/O, and low cost make it an ideal choice for both beginners and advanced embedded projects.

Compatibility
The Pico works with any breadboard or socket accepting 2.54 mm pitch headers. Supply it with 1.8–5.5V via VSYS or the micro-USB port. Commonly paired with Arduino IDE, Thonny (MicroPython), or the official C/C++ SDK. It is not a direct drop-in for Raspberry Pi single-board computers, but communicates easily via USB serial.
Wiring Notes
GPIO pins are 3.3V logic; do not feed 5V directly to them. Maximum total current draw on the 3.3V regulator is 300 mA. For analog inputs, use pins GP26, GP27, or GP28 with a voltage reference of 3.3V. The onboard LED is on GP25.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino IDE?
Yes, official board support is available through the Arduino Mbed OS RP2040 boards package. Install it via the Boards Manager.
Does it come with a USB cable?
No, only the Pico board with pre-soldered headers is included. You will need a micro-USB cable for power and programming.
Can I run MicroPython on this?
Absolutely. Download the MicroPython UF2 file from the Raspberry Pi website, drag it onto the Pico’s USB mass storage, and connect with Thonny or any serial terminal.
📦 Free Setup Handoff Document Included
