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/PIM544:1.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) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Make some noise with this high quality stereo I2S audio add-on board for your Raspberry Pi Pico, with amplified headphone AND unamplified line level outputs! Pico Audio Pack uses its PCM5100A DAC to output up to 32-bit, 384KHz stereo audio along its 3.5mm line out connector, ready for plugging into an external amp or powered speakers. If you're after something a little louder for your ears, it can also pump out amplified stereo audio from its 3.5mm headphone jack. You could generate interesting noises with code on your Pico to output into a lo-fi synth, or hook your Pico up to another device and use it as a custom USB sound card. **Please note that Pico Audio Pack only currently works with the C/C++ Pico SDK! We have Micro Python support planned but it is not available yet.** A Raspberry Pi Pico is not included - [click here if you'd like to buy one!](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-pico-soldered-headers.html) **Features** - PCM5100A stereo DAC ([datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/pcm5100a_617130f1-79f1-45ac-96bc-a3752b4afa59_156940eb235.pdf)) - PAM8908JER stereo headphone amp ([datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/PAM8901_8_621457c510c.pdf)) - 3.5mm stereo headphone jack connector - 3.5mm stereo line out jack connector - Switch to adjust headphone amp gain (low / high) - Pre-soldered female headers for attaching to Pico - Compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico - Fully assembled - No soldering required (as long as your Pico has header pins attached). - Dimensions: approx 53mm x 29mm x 11mm (L x W x H, including headers and audio jacks) - [Pinout](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/picoaudiopack_760401891cc.png) - [Programmable with C/C++](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico) The labels on the underside of Pico Audio will show you which way round to plug it into your Pico - just match up the USB port with the markings on the board. You can find our C/C++ libraries and code examples here. **About Raspberry Pi Pico** Raspberry Pi Pico is a flexible, low cost microcontroller development board from the folks at Raspberry Pi, based on their very own chip - the RP2040. It's easily programmable over USB with C/C++ or MicroPython, and ideal for using in all sorts of physical computing projects, devices and inventions - Pimoroni are so excited to see what you make with it! Pimoroni has called their Pico-sized add-ons packs, as they're designed to attach to the back of your Pico as if it were wearing a very stylish backpack (or a miniature jet pack, if you prefer). Pimoroni has also got Pico bases (larger add-on boards with a space to mount your Pico on top) and some other boards that let you do interesting hackerly things like using multiple packs at once - [click here to view them all](https://core-electronics.com.au/f/pimoroni/pimoroni-raspberry-pi.html#category_1361)! [Your Pico will need to have male headers soldered to it (with the pins pointing downwards) to attach to our add-on boards.](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-pico-soldered-headers.html) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/p/i/pico-addons-1_large.jpg)
