Raspberry Pi Pico - SC0915 - The Affordable Microcontroller

The Raspberry Pi Pico 1 is a tiny, fast, and versatile microcontroller board designed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Built around the custom RP2040 chip, it’s perfect for hobby projects, robotics, IoT devices, and embedded systems. Whether you’re new to microcontrollers or an experienced maker, Pico gives you a powerful platform at an unbeatable price.

The Pico 1 family also includes the Raspberry Pi Pico W and Raspberry Pi Pico WH (Pre-Soldered Headers), which add built-in Wi-Fi for easy IoT and wireless projects, and the Pico H, a version with pre-soldered headers that saves time when prototyping or plugging into breadboards.

Key Features

Dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ processor, clocked at 133MHz
264KB on-chip SRAM
2MB onboard QSPI flash memory
USB 1.1 with device and host support
26 multifunction GPIO pins
2× SPI, 2× I2C, 2× UART, 3× 12-bit ADC, 16×
PWM channels
Built-in accurate clock and timer
Low power consumption with sleep and dormant modes
Castellated module design for easy soldering

The Pico does not include GPIO or debugging pins, so you'll need to purchase and attach the variety of your choice. We suggest a solder-in header like our Raspberry Pi Pico Header Set!
Once the header pins are in place, the Pico can be attached directly to a breadboard for wiring and prototyping.

Love the Pico :)

Saw this had no reviews yet, but I've been using these for years. Really great microcontroller! Easy to flash and build programs. Very happy with it, also like the Pico W for wireless.
