Hi, I have a couple of Picos, one is sat on an Explorer Base, the other one is sat on a breadboard. I now want to use a Pico Wireless Pack. However, I now realise that the Pack actually fits on the front of the Pico rather than on it’s back - ie their undersides are facing each other. So, in this configuration, how do I use it either on the Explorer Base or indeed on a Breadboard - in order to use the GPIOs… At the moment, it seems that it cannot be used for physical computing in this configuration - or am I missing something…
Thanks
The Pico Explorer Base brings out some of the pins too those two headers. From there you can connect those pins to the breadboard with male to male dupont jumpers.
The other way to do it is to use the stacking headers.
Pico Stacking Header Pack – Pimoroni
Solder those to the PICO and you get access to all the pins, and can still use a Pack or Base.
The Omnibus or Decker will let you use multiple Packs with a PICO. Depending on what pins each Pack uses.
Pico Omnibus (Dual Expander) – Pimoroni
Pico Decker (Quad Expander) – Pimoroni
Took delivery of a Decker. Sorted :-)
