Description

When you add a Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 to your order, you’ll receive:

  • Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 with soldered headers (Pico H), configured for MicroPython
  • Raspberry Pi Pico breakout board and feet designed by Brian Cox
  • 2 meter USB 2.0 cable (USB A male to B micro male)

Recommended Storage Container:

To help arrange all of your parts, we recommend using a STOREHOUSE 10 Tray Utility Boxes from Harbor Freight (Item#4058).

These indispensable trays contain dividers to keep parts separate from each other.

Save time by adding a box to your kit order. When you order the boxes from us, we’ll include a printed set of ready-to-cut labels showing specific spots for every part.

Alternatively, you can buy the boxes directly from Harbor freight and either print your own set of labels or purchase a label packet from us.

About the parts in your kit:

Each component value comes in a separate labeled bag for easy reference.
Be sure to double check all parts using the printable list on the right as soon as you receive your kit.
