Raspberry Pi Pico WH Board with Wi-Fi & Pre-Soldered Headers
Raspberry Pi Pico WH Microcontroller Board with Wi-Fi & Pre-Soldered Headers
The Raspberry Pi Pico WH is an official microcontroller board from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, built around the powerful RP2040 dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ processor. It features onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2 via the CYW43439 chip, making it ideal for IoT and wireless projects. With pre-soldered GPIO headers and a compact form factor, it’s ready to plug into a breadboard right out of the box.

Compatibility
The Pico WH is compatible with standard 400-tie point breadboards thanks to its pre-soldered headers. It works seamlessly with MicroPython, C/C++, and Arduino IDE, and can interface with a wide range of 3.3V sensors and modules. For 5V peripherals, use logic level converters; it pairs well with common I2C devices like OLED displays and BME280 sensors.
Wiring Notes
All GPIO pins operate at 3.3V and are not 5V tolerant. Ensure external modules match this logic level or use voltage translation. When using I2C (GPIO 4 & 5), external 4.7kΩ pull-up resistors may be required. Avoid placing metal objects near the onboard antenna for optimal Wi-Fi performance.
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, the Raspberry Pi Pico WH can be programmed using the Arduino IDE via the official Arduino Mbed OS RP2040 board package.
Does it require soldering?
No soldering is needed as the board comes with pre-soldered male headers, allowing direct insertion into a breadboard or connection with jumper wires.
Can I power it via the GPIO pins?
You can supply power via the VSYS pin (1.8–5.5V) or the 3V3 pin, but avoid backpowering from both USB and VSYS simultaneously. The onboard buck-boost converter ensures stable operation.
