Pico Jumbo (Pico 2 Aboard)

by Pimoroni

A hilariously oversized but fully functional Raspberry Pi Pico 2 for demos, japes and shenanigans.

Psst, haven't you heard? Megacontrollers are the new microcontrollers. Large is the new little. Chonk is the new smol. Pico Jumbo is a giant (3.5x scale) Raspberry Pi Pico 2 that has the following advantages over the standard sized one:

  • The holes and castellations in the ridiculous oversized pads are great for connecting up crocodile/alligator clips - very useful for demo-ing in a classroom, workshop or on the Youtubes.
  • It has the ultimate best number one all time no notes Pico upgrade - a reset button.
  • Things that are the wrong scale are inherently very funny to us.

You can buy a Pico Jumbo on its own or in a starter kit along with a selection of pleasantly chunky components, so you can experience the pure childlike joy of blinking a big ol' LED or wiring up a big ol' button.

Notes

About RP2350

The RP2350 chip is the Double Quarter Pounder & Fries to the RP2040's Double Cheeseburger and can have one or more RISC-V burgers instead of either of the M33 ARMs, to stretch the metaphor.

In addition to the modern M33 ARM cores, there are sides of: more PIO capability, a variety of low power states for sipping electrons, a whole security system and some sprinklings of specialist digital video circuits to offload DVI/HDMI output.

You can expect a tasty boost in performance - our "real world" MicroPython tests are running up to 2x faster compared to RP2040, and floating point number crunching in C/C++ is up to 20x faster. The extra on-chip RAM will make a big difference when performing memory intensive operations (such as working with higher resolution displays) and even more can be added thanks to external PSRAM support.

RP2350 comes in two flavours - A (standard) and B (all the pins). The B chip has a stonking 48 usable GPIO pins, including 8 ADCs and 24 PWMs, and features on some of our new products.

The board is fine and works well but i would have liked that the extra rows of pin holes be on the outside of the pico w not the inside. Other than that a really great board.

The board is great, it makes small projects with the Raspberry Pi Pico much easier. I can only recommend it.

The quality of the British made PCBs is impressive, much better than the Chinese ones, just like in the old days! If you are not afraid of soldering, or wire wrap, these Hats are perfect for developing very personal projects, very quickly.

Cheap and easy way of making your own plug in expansions for a Pico. Add some female headers and you can DIY Pico Packs fairly easily.

Great to use as a 'breakout' board. Gives more scope to connect extra wires to each pin.

Would be good if the through holes could be slightly larger, to take two resistor legs for example. A wider "pico proto" and complementary carrier board would be nice. I had quite a fiddly time constructing a diy vga interface, more space would help, through hole and area.

Nice to have if you want to make your own pico shield!

Amazing! And as usual Pimoroni service was First Class. make connection much more adaptable, with a couple of headers.

I haven't used the Pico Proto yet, but it looks great. I got it because I have a Pico project in mind, and I need it to be as absolutely flat as possible. This proto board will do that mighty well.

great little board, a little compact, but great for little IOT or small simple projects!
