Simplifying Raspberry Pi Pico for Beginners

Maker Pi Pico incorporates the most wanted Reset button for your Raspberry Pi Pico and gives you access to all GPIO pins on two 20 ways pin-headers, with clear labels. Each GPIO is coupled with an LED indicator for convenient code testing and troubleshooting. The bottom layer of this board even comes with a comprehensive pinout diagram showing the function of each pin.

Note: This product comes with Raspberry Pi Pico soldered onboard.

It is a compact yet feature-packed board designed to sit at the heart of your STEM & robotics projects. Just use the jumper wires and/or Grove cables to connect any sensor and output modules to expand its capability. No soldering is required!

CircuitPython is preloaded on the Maker Pi Pico and it runs a simple demo program right out of the box. Connect it to your computer via a USB micro cable and you will be greeted by a melody tune and LEDs running light. Press the push buttons to test the basic features on the board right away. You may insert your micro SD card, dual channel speakers, and an I2C OLED display module to try out too. Have fun!

Maker Pi Pico can be programmed with CircuitPython, MicroPython & C/C++. Just connect to any computer (including Raspberry Pi SBC) via USB, then drag and drop the file onto it to upload the program. It's as easy as copying a file into your thumb drive!

What's Raspberry Pi Pico?

Raspberry Pi Pico is the first microcontroller board from Raspberry Pi Foundation, specially designed for physical computing. It can be programmed with MicroPython and C/C++ to control things in our real world.
