Get started coding high-tech sensors and modules with the PiicoDev® Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi Pico. Follow the guides 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 a graphical display.
What's inside:
- Raspberry Pi Pico (with soldered headers)
- PiicoDev Expansion Board for Raspberry Pi Pico
- OLED - a 128x64 pixel display to show text and graphics
- 3x RGB LED Module - create dazzling patterns with three super bright tri-colour LEDs.
- Atmospheric Sensor - measure atmospheric pressure, humidity and temperature to create your own weather station.
- Buzzer Module - play tones and melodies. Give your project an audible alarm.
- Colour Sensor - sample emitted or reflected light and classify objects based on their colour.
- Capacitive Touch Sensor - add touch control to your project with three touch-pad inputs.
- Motion Sensor - detect tilt, spin and shake with a 6-degree-of-freedom inertial measurement.
- Distance Sensor - a laser range finder with incredible precision.
- 8 Assorted PiicoDev Cables - to connect everything together. Different lengths are included for maximum flexibility.
- PiicoDev Platform - build your project onto a sturdy platform.
PiicoDev Overview
PiicoDev is a 
ecosystem designed for rapid prototyping and maker education. The range includes:
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 with us if you have any questions.
