The Story
Our Explorer lets you play with circuits, build science experiments and prototype tiny robots and inventions. We've incorporated tinkering essentials like:
- A convenient mini breadboard for wiring up components
- Servo headers
- Analogue inputs
- A built-in speaker for making beeps and boops
- Plenty of general-purpose inputs/outputs
- Connectors for attaching crocodile leads
- Qw/ST connectors for attaching I2C breakouts
Next to all that lot, there's a vibrant 320 x 240 pixel IPS LCD screen surrounded by six chunky tactile buttons so you can easily monitor and control what your project is doing. It's all mounted on a nice, sturdy baseboard that's printed with a fancy full-colour silkscreen. We've also included some little legs, so you can have it propped up at an angle as well as lying flat, and there's a battery connector on the back so you can keep things portable.
You can buy a Pico Explorer board on its own or as part of a Starter Kit, which also contains a whole bunch of fun components to start tinkering with.
