## Description

The Adafruit Proto Doubler PiCowbell gives your Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico W two side-by-side socket slots — plug in your Pico on one side and a PiCowbell accessory on the other, no soldering or stacking headers required. It also adds LiPo battery charging, a power switch, reset button, STEMMA QT connector, and a prototyping area. Each socket has a second row of pins so you can poke jumper wires directly in without breadboarding. The dual sockets are hollow, meaning you can also plug through the back using Pico Stacking Headers if needed. All pins are clearly labelled on the silkscreen. Key Features Dual 2×20 Socket Headers – Pre-soldered; plug in a Pico and a PiCowbell side by side with an extra row of sockets per pin LiPo/Li-Ion Charging – JST PH connector with 500 mA charge rate (adjustable to 250 mA via jumper); orange LED while charging, green when complete Alkaline/NiMH Support – Cut a jumper to disable the charger for use with 3×AA or 3×AAA battery packs Power Slide Switch – Connected to Pico Enable pin to disable the 3.3V supply for low-power sleep Reset Button – Right-angle button at the board edge STEMMA QT / Qwiic Connector – JST SH for I2C on GPIO 4 (SDA) and GPIO 5 (SCL), with extra breakout holes for re-assignment Prototyping Area – 3-hole connected strips in the centre area, plus duplicate hole pads next to nearly every Pico pin Power Rails – Dedicated 3.3V and ground strips; ground pads marked with white silkscreen 4 Mounting Holes – For secure attachment to an underplate or enclosure Gold-Plated Pads – For reliable soldering I2C Configuration Arduino (Philhower core) – Wire peripheral pre-configured for GPIO 4 and 5 CircuitPython / MicroPython – Set SDA=4 and SCL=5 in code Tip: No I2C pull-up resistors are included, but most STEMMA QT / Qwiic breakouts have them built in. Use a Pico H or Pico WH for fully solder-free setup. Ideal For Solder-free Pico + PiCowbell projects Battery-powered portable Pico builds Prototyping with easy pin access via the extra socket row Combining multiple PiCowbell accessories Package Contents 1× Adafruit Proto Doubler PiCowbell (assembled with dual socket headers, JST PH battery connector, slide switch, reset button, and STEMMA QT connector) Note: Raspberry Pi Pico, battery, and PiCowbell accessories are sold separately. If using alkaline/NiMH batteries, cut the "disable charge" jumper first.
