## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=WS-20232:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/WS-20232:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The **Pico-Environment-Sensor** gives Raspberry Pi Pico the ability to collect environment data like temperature & humidity, air pressure, ambient light intensity, VOC, IR ray, UV ray, etc. It can also be used to build a robot that can detect motion and orientation. - Standard Raspberry Pi Pico header, supports Raspberry Pi Pico series
- Onboard TSL25911FN digital ambient light sensor, for measuring IR and visible light
- Onboard BME280 sensor, for measuring temperature, humidity, and air pressure
- Onboard ICM20948 motion sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer
- Onboard LTR390-UV-1 sensor, for measuring UV rays
- Onboard SGP40 sensor, for detecting ambient VOC
- I2C bus, allows retrieving data by just using two wires
- Comes with development resources and manual (MicroPython example)
