## Description

The Makerverse Electronic Keyboard for Raspberry Pi Pico is a DIY soldering kit featuring an array of eight buttons. Each button connects to a different digital input pin on the Raspberry Pi Pico. The buttons are labelled 1 to 7, then "oct" (octave) as its primary purpose is to cover one octave of a musical keyboard. This product features in the Makerverse Audio Kit. Check out the kit-guide if you want to see it in action!

To make electrical connections easy the 12-pin header connects directly to the Raspberry Pi Pico, covering pins GP16 (pin 21) to GP27 (pin 32). The RUN pin (pin 30) is not connected, so a reset button can still be used.
