Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller board.

Unlike a standard Raspberry Pi, this is not a full computer that runs an operating system like Linux; instead, it is a low-cost, high-performance microcontroller board designed for physical computing projects, hardware control, and DIY electronics.

Key Features

RP2040 Chip: The central black chip is Raspberry Pi's custom-designed silicone chip, featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ processor.

BOOTSEL Button: The small white button near the USB port used to put the board into storage mode so you can drag and drop new code files onto it.

Micro-USB Port: Used for both power and programming/serial communication.

Pre-soldered Headers: This specific unit has male header pins already soldered on, making it ready to plug straight into a breadboard.

Pinout Labels: The underside handily prints the labels for every single pinincluding General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins, ground (GND), and power rails (3V3, VBUS, VSYS)saving you from having to look up a reference sheet while wiring components.
