## Description

Get started coding high-tech sensors and modules with the **PiicoDev® Starter Kit v1.2 for Raspberry Pi**. Follow the [guides](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev-starter-kit-guide-select-0) to complete exciting experiments and projects, then remix the examples to create something entirely new. Work with light, colour, sound, motion, weather, touch, distance and even a graphical display.

After following the guides you'll be well acquainted with each module - but this is just the start! Multiple PiicoDev modules can be daisy-chained to create larger, more complex projects. Try combining different input and output modules by remixing example code from the guides. There are so many possible combinations!

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 modules are designed by our team in Newcastle and manufactured in Australia and overseas. They’re made for makers and educators alike — affordable, reliable, and easy to use. [Get in touch](https://core-electronics.com.au/contacts/) if you have any questions.
