Pimoroni Pico Display Pack

A vibrant 1.14" IPS LCD screen for your Raspberry Pi Pico, with four useful buttons and a RGB LED!

Pimoroni have sourced a new LCD screen especially for our Pico Display Pack - it's a lovely, bright 18-bit capable 240x135 pixel IPS display and fits the Pico perfectly. They've surrounded it with four tactile buttons so you can easily interface your Pico with your human fingers and an RGB LED that you can use as an indicator, for notifications, or just for adding extra rainbows.

Pico Display lets you turn a Pico into a compact user interface device for a bigger project, capable of giving instructions, displaying readouts and even incorporating elaborate nested menus. If you'd rather use your Pico as a standalone device you could make a little rotating slideshow of images, display beautiful graphs from sensor data or build your own Tamagotchi or matchbox sized text adventure game.

Getting started

The labels on the underside of Pico Display will show you which way round to plug it into your Pico - just match up the USB port with the markings on the board.

The most straightforward way of getting started programming Pimoroni's Pico add-ons is by downloading and copying the latest of their custom MicroPython image to your Pico, it includes all the libraries you'll need!

You can find our C/C++ and MicroPython libraries and code examples here.

Notes

• If you want to free up the pins that the LED uses for other purposes Pimoroni has made it easy to cut the traces - you can cut one, two, or all of them to make it into a bi-colour, single colour, or magical no-colour LED.

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 has called the 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 back pack (or a miniature jet pack, if you prefer). they've 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!
