## Description

The Adafruit PiCowbell Adalogger is a Pico-sized add-on board that sockets underneath your Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico W, adding a microSD card slot, real-time clock with battery backup, and a STEMMA QT connector for I2C sensors — everything you need for data logging projects. The PCF8523 RTC keeps accurate time even when the Pico is powered off (with a CR1220 coin cell). The microSD card slot provides virtually unlimited storage for reading or writing data. A STEMMA QT / Qwiic connector gives you instant solderless access to I2C peripherals on GPIO 4 (SDA) and GPIO 5 (SCL). Key Features MicroSD Card Slot – SPI connection on pins 16, 17, 18, 19 with optional card detect on pin 15 PCF8523 Real-Time Clock – I2C RTC with CR1220 coin cell backup for accurate timestamps STEMMA QT / Qwiic – Right-angle JST SH connector for solderless I2C (GPIO 4/5) Right-Angle Reset Button – Easy access from the board edge Pico Form Factor – Same size and shape, sockets underneath the Pico Gold-Plated Pads – Easy soldering with duplicate solder-jumper pads White GND Markings – Ground pads clearly identified with silkscreen rectangles Header Options Stacking Headers – Allows breadboard or accessory connection below Socket Headers – Solid plug-in connection with no protruding pins Short Socket Headers – Ultra-slim sandwich (pair with short plug headers on the Pico) Direct Soldering – Most compact option, but permanent Tip: With the Philhower Arduino core, Wire is already configured for GPIO 4/5. For CircuitPython or MicroPython, specify SDA=4 and SCL=5 in your code. Ideal For Environmental data logging with timestamped SD card storage Sensor projects needing persistent timekeeping Adding expandable storage to Pico/Pico W projects Note: MicroSD card, CR1220 coin cell battery, Raspberry Pi Pico, and headers are not included. A CR1220 is required for RTC battery-backup functionality.
