Description

The Raspberry Pi Pico Primer kit includes a wide range of sensors and actuators, all fitted with standard Mabee connectors (Grove compatible), for an immediate plug&play experience.
Every module in the kit comes with detailed tutorials on how to use it with MicroPython, giving users everything they need to start working with the Raspberry Pi Pico straight away. The Pico can also be used with Arduino by following the instructions on how to use Raspberry Pi Pico with Arduino. At the heart of this kit is the Raspberry Pi Pico, a small, fast and versatile board built around the RP2040 chip designed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in the United Kingdom. The RP2040 features a dual-core Arm Cortex-M0 + processor with 264 KB of internal RAM and supports up to 16 MB of Flash. It provides a number of GPIOs including I2C, SPI and other special functions. Programmable in C and MicroPython, it can be used in a wide range of applications, from controlling a household appliance to driving a light display.

General features
  • PICO Primer expansion board: a board designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi Pico, providing connectivity and support for integrating the various modules included in the kit.
  • DHT11 sensor with Mabee connector: an accurate, reliable temperature and humidity sensor, ready to plug in and use.
  • 6-axis MPU6050 IMU with Mabee connector: an inertial module that senses acceleration and angular rate on six axes, ideal for motion and orientation projects.
  • 10A relay with Mabee connector: a rugged relay able to switch loads of up to 10 amps, perfect for automation projects and for controlling electrical devices.
  • 8-bit WS2812 with Mabee connector: a programmable RGB LED strip that delivers dynamic, colourful lighting effects, ideal for lighting and display projects.
  • SG90 servo with Mabee connector: a small but powerful servo for precise control of mechanical movement in robotics and automation projects.
  • Slide potentiometer with Mabee connector: a component for analogue voltage control, suitable for adjusting brightness, volume and more.
  • Serial WiFi with Mabee connector: a Wi-Fi module that brings wireless connectivity to the Raspberry Pi Pico, allowing communication and remote control over Wi-Fi networks.
  • Ultrasonic distance sensor: a sensor that uses ultrasound to measure the distance to surrounding objects, useful for detection and navigation projects.
