Raspberry Pi Pico Raspberry Pi Pico (without Headers)

The Raspberry Pi Pico is a compact, low-cost microcontroller board built on the RP2040 — Raspberry Pi's custom-designed dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ chip. With 2 MB of on-board flash, 264 KB of SRAM, and a flexible GPIO layout, it's a powerful platform for embedded projects, sensor systems, and learning microcontroller programming.

This version ships without headers, so you can solder your own pin headers or use it as a surface-mount module via the edge castellations.
