Pimoroni - Pico Breakout Garden Pack

The Pico Breakout Garden Pack offers an easy, solderless, swappable way to use Pimoroni breakouts with your Raspberry Pi Pico. Add up to three Pimoroni breakouts (2 x I2C and 1 x SPI) to the sturdy slots and get coding and creating!

Pico Breakout Garden Pack gloms onto the back of your Pico and lets you connect up to three of our extensive selection of Pimoroni breakouts. Whether it’s environmental sensors so you can keep track of the temperature and humidity in your office, a whole host of little screens for important notifications and readouts, and, of course, LEDs. Scroll down for a list of breakouts that are currently compatible with our C++/MicroPython libraries!

The three sturdy black slots are edge connectors that connect the breakouts to the pins on your Pico. There’s one slot for SPI breakouts (like the 1.3″ SPI Colour Round LCD (240×240) Breakout), and two slots for I2C breakouts. Because I2C is a bus, you can use multiple I2C devices at the same time, providing they don’t have the same I2C address (all of the available breakouts have different addresses, and they are printed on the back of the breakouts so they’re easy to find).

As well as being a handy way to add functionality to your Pico, Breakout Garden is also very useful for prototyping projects without the need for complicated wiring, soldering, or breadboards, and you can grow or change up your setup at any time.
