Your new best friend in crafting imaginative projects. Designed to integrate effortlessly with the Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W, it's equipped with a 2-channel DC motor driver, 4 servo motor ports, and 7 Grove I/O connectors. Whether you're designing a WiFi-controlled robot car or building a smart IoT project system, Robo Pico is here to make it an enjoyable journey.
Works with Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W
The Robo Pico doesn't just use any controller - it leverages the power of the Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W. The Raspberry Pi Foundation's robust controllers are ready to take your projects to the next level. Whether you're an experienced maker or a curious beginner, you'll appreciate the versatility they offer.
Unleash Your Creative Potential with Exciting Features
The Robo Pico goes beyond being just a board; it becomes a blank canvas for your imaginative masterpieces. With its dual-channel DC motor driver, 4 servo motor ports, 7 Grove ports, a Maker port, two RGB LED NeoPixels, and a piezo buzzer, it offers a limitless playground of possibilities. Picture the mesmerizing light spectacles you can craft, the precise motions you can orchestrate, the distinct sounds you can generate, and the groundbreaking Internet of Things (IoT) projects you can bring to life!
Connections Made Simple
No more stumbling around with tricky wiring or setups. Connections are simple with Robo Pico. All GPIO pins are thoughtfully arranged at the edge through the Grove and Maker ports, which skips the need for soldering and enables quicker connection of any Qwiic, STEMMA QT, or Grove I2C device. Meanwhile, all Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico W pins can be accessed via two 20-way pin headers. With Robo Pico, you only need to press a single button to reset the microcontroller, eliminating the hassle of plugging and unplugging the USB cable repeatedly.
Power Up The Way You Like
There are three ways to supply power to the Robo Pico - via the Raspberry Pi Pico / Pico W USB (5V) socket, with a single-cell LiPo/Li-Ion battery, or through the VIN (3.66V) terminals. However, only one power source is needed to power up both controller board and motors at a time. The power supply from all these power sources can all be controlled with the power on/off switch onboard.
