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 The **PiicoDev® Expansion Board for Raspberry Pi Pico** is a great way to start experimenting with Raspberry Pi Pico/RP2040. Use the on-board PiicoDev connector to quickly and easily connect with the PiicoDev family of sensor modules without soldering. Each GPIO is broken out to a female-header with labels visible on the top surface. The 2-pin battery connector allows you to take your project on the go, and power automatically transfers to the connected battery when USB power is unavailable. Four mounting holes make the Expansion Board perfect for mounting a Pico securely in your next project This version of the Expansion Board is *non-recharging*, which makes it suitable for use with any battery pack 1.8 - 5.5V (with the correct connector polarity of course). For a recharging version suitable for single-cell LiPos, see the [PiicoDev Lipo Expansion Board](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev-lipo-expansion-board-for-raspberry-pi-pico.html). - Breaks out each Pico pin, with handy labels - Battery connector (JST PH) to take your project on the go - PiicoDev connector, compatible with Qwiic and STEMMA QT (3.3V only) - Manufactured and [supported](https://core-electronics.com.au/contacts/) in Australia by Core Electronics A **Raspberry Pi Pico is not included** - [click here](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi/pico/official-boards.html) to buy one - we recommend one with headers (both Pico and Pico 2 - wireless and non-wireless are supported). **Technical Details** - Battery Connector: 2-pin JST PH accepts 1.8-5.5V - Dimensions: 51x51mm - M2.5 mounting holes - PiicoDev connector: I2C0 (SCL:Pin 9, SDA:Pin 8) - PiicoDev connector pinout: - 1 GND - 2 3.3V - 3 SDA - 4 SCL - The I2C Bus presented at the PiicoDev connector has series 120Ohm resistors to prevent destructive signal undershoot (possible with long buses). These can be bridged-out by soldering jumpers JP1 & JP2.
