Pico Add-On Flipper for XRP

This add-on board solves a common Raspberry Pi Pico HAT problem: fixed orientation. It takes the standard pinout for a Raspberry Pi Pico development board and flips it as if the Pico had been physically rotated over, facing down.

That makes it useful when your Pico needs to stay in a particular orientation for USB access, but the HAT or wiring you want to use ends up on the wrong side. It can flip those connections from the right side of the USB port to the left, or the other way around.

It is also handy for the Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP) Kit where an add-on, such as a display board, may have been intended to mount underneath the Pico. The flipper lets you re-orient the board so it can be mounted above the Pico with the hardware facing the way you need.

SparkFun also breaks out a Qwiic connector and reset button on the edges of the board for easier access. Documentation provided by the supplier includes a schematic, KiCad files, board dimensions, hookup guide, CAD model, Qwiic information page and GitHub hardware repository.

Features:

• Flips the standard Raspberry Pi Pico development board pinout as if the Pico were rotated facing down.
• Helps swap HAT connections from the right side of the USB port to the left, or vice versa.
• Supports mounting add-on hardware intended for underneath the Pico as a HAT above it.
• Designed for use with Raspberry Pi Pico development boards and the Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP) Kit.
• Includes an edge-accessible Qwiic connector.
• Includes an edge-accessible reset button.
