# PiicoDev Protoboard

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** CE07686 · **Brand:** [PiicoDev](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/piicodev-brand)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev-protoboard.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev-protoboard.html.md))

The perfect companion for prototyping with your own modules alongside the PiicoDev ecosystem.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $1.75 (inc GST) — $1.59 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $1.34 (exc GST) · 25+ $1.15 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 113 today, and up to 500 more in 6–42 days.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE07686:1` (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/CE07686:1.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 PiicoDev® Protoboard is for more permanent projects. The PiicoDev Protoboard is compatible with our [PiicoDev Platform for Raspberry Pi Pico](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev-platform-for-raspberry-pi-pico.html) - mount it where you would normally place a PiicoDev module. Keep your Protoboard full-size or snap it along the perforations for *really* tiny projects.

**Features**

- 228 pads for rapid prototyping
- Snaps in half - not too easily, not too difficult.
- Fills two PiicoDev locations on a PiicoDev Platform - One when snapped in half.
- 4x M2.5 mounting holes

Also available are [PiicoDev Starter Kits](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1322) - level up your projects by learning how to use a wide range of modern sensors and outputs.

- [Outputs](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1381)
- [Adaptors & Expansion Boards](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1307)
- [Platforms](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1310)
- [Cables](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1309)
- [Accessories](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1323)

Here are some of the features we have baked into PiicoDev:

- **Unified MicroPython libraries.** The same MicroPython code examples will work on all supported platforms.
- **Simple-and-expandable connections.** Modules can be connected using a 4-pin connector and daisy-chained to expand projects.
- **Breakout pins.** Every module has a breakout section for optional advanced uses.
- **Consistent size.** We have taken care to ensure modules are consistent sizes so that they easy for 3D printing cases, stacking and experimenting with.
- **Creative freedom.** Simmer all of these features together and you end up with lots of creative freedom while still being a hands-on electronics experience.

PiicoDev electronics modules are designed and manufactured in Newcastle. They are priced for makers and education alike (affordable!). [Get in touch](https://core-electronics.com.au/contacts/) with us if you have any questions.
