The PiicoDev Connection Guide is full of extra information about connecting and configuring PiicoDev modules.
The PiicoDev Mounting Guide provides helpful mounting tips to make the most out of your PiicoDev Platforms.
These guides will show you how to use each PiicoDev module on their own - but don't stop there! You can connect multiple PiicoDev modules together to create bigger projects. If you make a cool project using PiicoDev, we'd love for you to share! Write a project and be rewarded with up to $200 store credit.
We'd love to see what you make. Tag us with #PiicoDev when you share your experiments and projects!
