Raspberry Pi / RP2040 / Pico

A wild Kee Boar appears! It’s a shiny KB2040! An Arduino Pro Micro-shaped board for Keebs with RP2040. (#keeblife 4 evah) A lot of folks like using Adafruit parts for their Keeb builds – but with the ItsyBitsy not being pin-compatible with the Pro Micro pinout, it really wasn't very easy without some sort of adapter plate. Now we’re seeing lots of...

What a cutie pie! Or is it... a QT Py? This diminutive dev board comes with one of our new favorite chip, the RP2040. It's been made famous in the new Raspberry Pi Pico and our Feather RP2040 and ItsyBitsy RP2040, but what if we wanted something really smol? A new chip means a new QT Py, and the Raspberry Pi RP2040 is no exception. When we saw this chip we thought...

These Socket Headers alone are, well, lonely. But pair them with the Raspberry Pi Pico, and you're in business! Socket headers are like the duct tape of electronics.
