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/PIM633:1.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) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description An all-in-one board for making battery powered contraptions that can move, (optionally) make noise, and talk to the internet! Inventor 2040 is a multi-talented board that does (almost) everything you might want a robot, prop or other mechanical thing to do. Drive a couple of fancy [motors with encoders](https://wholesale.pimoroni.com/products/micro-metal-gearmotor-with-micro-metal-motor-encoder) attached? Yep! Add up to six **servos**? Sure? Attach a little **speaker** so you can make noise? No problem! It's also got a **battery connector** so you can power your inventions from AA/AAA or LiPo batteries and carry your miniature automaton/animated top hat/treasure chest that growls at your enemies around with you untethered. You also get a ton of options for hooking up **sensors** and other gubbins - there's two Qw/ST connectors (and an unpopulated Breakout Garden slot) for attaching breakouts, three ADC pins for analog sensors, photoresistors and such, and three spare digital GPIO you could use for LEDs, buttons or digital sensors. Speaking of LEDs, Pimoroni has also somehow managed to fit in 12 **addressable LEDs** (AKA Neopixels) - one for each servo and GPIO/ADC channel (or just use the whole lot for making rainbows, that's fine too). Best of all though, is the brains of the outfit - the onboard Raspberry Pi Pico W, which will give your creations 2.4GHz **wireless connectivity.** Use it to trigger your mechanical friends to do their thing remotely, or perhaps you can make a robotic bird that tweets, and also Tweets? **Features**- Raspberry Pi Pico W Aboard - Dual Arm Cortex M0+ running at up to 133Mhz with 264kB of SRAM - 2MB of QSPI flash supporting XiP - Powered and programmable by USB micro-B - 2.4GHz wireless - 2 JST-SH connectors (6 pin) for attaching motors - Dual H-Bridge motor driver (DRV8833) - Per motor current limiting (0.5A) - Per motor direction indicator LEDs - 2 pin (Picoblade-compatible) connector for attaching speaker - JST-PH (2 pin) connector for attaching battery (input voltage 2.5V - 5.5V\*) - 6 sets of header pins for connecting 3 pin hobby servos - 6 sets of header pins for GPIO (3 of which are ADC capable) - 12 x addressable RGB LEDs/Neopixels - User button - Reset button (built in [Captain Resetti](https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/captain-resetti-pico-reset-button)!) - 2 x Qw/ST connectors for attaching breakouts - Unpopulated headers for adding a [Breakout Garden slot](https://wholesale.pimoroni.com/products/breakout-garden-i2c-connector-pack-of-5) - Fully assembled - No soldering required (unless you want to add the Breakout Garden slot). - [C/C++ and MicroPython libraries](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico) - Schematic (coming soon) **Motors, servos, batteries and speakers are sold separately.** **Software**Our **C/C++/MicroPython** libraries provide an easy way to interface with the functions on this board. You'll get best performance using C++, but if you're a beginner we'd recommend using our batteries included MicroPython build for ease of getting started. ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/P/I/PIM633-4.jpg)
