The Raspberry Pi Pico is a low-cost, high-performance microcontroller board with flexible digital interfaces. It features the RP2040 which marks Raspberry Pi’s first microcontroller designed in-house. Pico provides minimal (yet flexible) external circuitry to support the RP2040 chip (Flash, crystal, power supplies and decoupling and USB connector). The majority of the RP2040 microcontroller pins are brought to the user IO pins on the left and right edge of the board. Four RP2040 IO are used for internal functions – driving an LED, on-board Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) power control and sensing the system voltages.
Pico uses an on-board buck-boost SMPS which is able to generate the required 3.3 volts (to power RP2040 and external circuitry) from a wide range of input voltages (~1.8 to 5.5V). This allows significant flexibility in powering the unit from various sources such as a single Lithium-Ion cell, or 3 AA cells in series. Battery chargers can also be very easily integrated with the Pico powerchain. Reprogramming the Pico’s flash memory can be done using USB (simply drag and drop a file onto the Pico which appears as a mass storage device) or via the Serial Wire Debug (SWD) port. The SWD port can also be used to interactively debug code running on the RP2040
Pico has been designed to use either soldered 0.1″ pin-headers (it is one 0.1″ pitch wider than a standard 40-pin DIP package) or can be used as a surface mountable “module”, as the user IO pins are also castellated. There are SMT pads underneath the USB connector and BOOTSEL button, which allow these signals to be accessed if used as a reflow-soldered SMT module.

Two of the biggest challenges with the Raspberry Pi in portable/mobile/automotive applications is the lack of an accurate way to keep time and a flexible input DC power supply. This Raspberry Pi Power / RTC HAT solves this problem! Onboard is a fused and reverse polarity protected DC input coupled to a beefy 3A 5V DC/DC converter. Connected to a 12V automotive battery, this board is happy running the Pi under heavy load all day long.
Since a battery powered Pi is not likely going to have reliable access to the internet to keep time we have also added a nice, temperature compensated, DS3231 chipset by Maxim. The chip is connected directly to the I2C bus and uses address 0x68. Simply add a CR1220 battery to the holder onboard, set the time, and it will keep it within ±0.432 Second/Day (roughly ±2 minutes a year) in temperatures ranging between -45°C and +85°C.
To make this board even more useful, we have also included two SparkFun Qwiic / Adafruit STEMMA QT connectors – this is an easy-connect system for I2C sensors, actuators, shields using pre-built cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. Add sensors and further expand your Pi’s monitoring and control capabilities as you need, with no soldering required.
This version is fully assembled – no soldering required. Just hook it up and you are good to go! The board is compatible with all “A” and “B” versions of the Raspberry Pi (Pi A+, B+, 2, 3, 3A+, 3B+, and Pi 4)

The Raspberry Pi Power / Fan HAT is a combination of two of our most popular Raspberry Pi add-ons. This board is based on the same beefy 3A 5V DC/DC converter found on our Power and Power RTC HAT and features the same 40mm fan used on our Fan HAT. Combined, this will comfortably power your Pi from 7-16V while keeping it cool under heavy load.
The power supply is fused and reverse polarity protected and provides power to the Pi by way of the GPIO header. The Fan runs as long as power is available. Simply connect your DC supply to the screw terminals and this board will keep your Pi3 / 3+ / 4 happy running under heavy load all day long! We recommend keeping the input voltage to 7-16VDC to prevent the regulator from getting too warm.
Finally, we have also added an optional 2 pin footprint on the board for a 2.54mm / 0.100” connector for use as a soft shutdown / restart. With dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown
enabled in your /boot/config.txt file, connecting these two pins will trigger the Pi to perform a shutdown. Press the button again, and the Pi will boot right up. We recommend using a momentary pushbutton for this feature. At this time, the Pi 4 is only capable of shutdown and will not restart without modifying the bootloader.
This version of the board is fully assembled and requires no soldering. If you prefer to choose your own 2×20 header, we also have the Pi Power / Fan HAT available with no header attached.

Jeremy –
Any opportunity for this to send the same soft shutdown automatically if it detects low input voltage vs needing a momentary switch?
Chris @ BCR –
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for the note – not within the board itself as the Pi wouldn’t be able to detect the voltage itself. You would need an analog to digital converter and voltage divider (at a minimum) to read the voltage itself on the input, and a larger capacitor bank to provide enough time for everything to occur in the shutdown process. You could add the additional components to a proto HAT and stack this on top (in theory). Hope that helps!
Tristan –
Does the fan stop when you shut down the pi? or does it just stay on as long as power is connected?
Chris @ BCR –
Hi Tristan,
The fan will run as long as there is power to this board – let us know if you have further questions!
Brent Besse (verified owner) –
Hello,
This is a good board for my use. Can you tell me which GPIO pins the “Shutdown” button uses?
I was reading another article (https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/raspberry-pi-safe-reboot-and-shutdown-button/all) that suggests using a pull up resistor ro the pins arent floating. Do you have any comments? I will be experimenting later today.
Thanks you in advance,
…Brent…
Victoria, BC
William @ BC Robotics –
Hi Brent!
GPIO 3 is pulled out to the footprint on the board. When using the dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown
in your config.txt as a method of control, the GPIO is pulled high and shorted to ground to reset so no resistor is required.

Looking to build a Raspberry Pi Pico based smart irrigation system? The Raspberry Pi Pico Irrigation Board is just what you need! This board allows the Pico to operate with 12V power and control up to 5 solenoids (or other high current inductive loads) while providing numerous interfaces for sensors!
Out of Stock - Available on Backorder
Want to be notified when this product is back in stock?
The Raspberry Pi Pico Irrigation Board is an all-in-one 5 channel MOSFET breakout complete with a DC power converter for the Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W. This board allows the Pico to operate within a 12V system and switch high current inductive loads such as solenoids, pumps, or large relays. The Raspberry Pi Pico is connected using the castellated edges along the Pico, these are easily soldered with a conventional soldering iron. SMD Soldering Guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-guide-excellent-soldering/surface-mount
The board has 5 individually controlled driver circuits complete with an LED indicator showing when it is triggered and an integrated snub diode to protect your project from any power spikes caused by inductive loads. We have also included three connection points for analog sensors and a connection point for a flow sensor, compatible with any of our three wire flow sensors. To further extend functionality, we have also included a Qwiic / STEMMA QT connector, allowing any compatible breakout board or sensor to connect to the board.
Because this is designed for irrigation, we have added an extra feature to each of the analog inputs. Beside each of these analog channels is a solder jumper; this is used to choose your 3.3V source. By default this is set to the 3.3V power provided by an onboard regulator but we have also allowed each analog to be powered via a separate GPIO pin. This is done specifically for soil moisture sensors and helps prevent un-necessary corrosion caused when the sensor is powered in moist soil. Since the sensors draw a very tiny amount of voltage, they can be powered this way. Simply trip the connected GPIO pin HIGH and read the analog sensor, and turn off the pin.
Finally, we have an extra I2C connection point broken out to a 0.100″/2.54mm pitch footprint – great if you want to use larger I2C based soil moisture sensors like the Adafruit STEMMA Soil Moisture Sensor.
To make mounting as easy as possible, the Raspberry Pi Pico Irrigation Board is designed to fit in a standard Hammond 1591B enclosure.
Please Note: Raspberry Pi Pico is not included.

David Seymour –
I’m a n00b, so this is probably a dumb question, but I don’t see any tutorials for thei Pi Pico Irrigation Board. Would the setup, coding, etc, for the regular Pi Irrigation Board still apply to this one? Also, will you restocking the the regular Pi Irrigation Boards? Thanks for the info!

Need a simple way to power a Raspberry Pi from a DC source? This Raspberry Pi Power HAT solves this problem! Onboard is a fused and reverse polarity protected DC input coupled to a beefy 3A 5V DC/DC converter. Connected to a 12V automotive battery, this board is happy running the Pi under heavy load all day long.
To make this board even more useful, we have also included two SparkFun Qwiic / Adafruit STEMMA QT connectors – this is an easy-connect system for I2C sensors, actuators, shields using pre-built cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. Add sensors and further expand your Pi’s monitoring and control capabilities as you need, with no soldering required.
This version is fully assembled – no soldering required. Just hook it up and you are good to go! The board is compatible with all “A” and “B” versions of the Raspberry Pi (Pi A+, B+, 2, 3, 3A+, 3B+, and Pi 4)

Though the recommended input is 7 – 16V the Max Reg Voltage is listed as 36V. Does this mean that it would work with an input of 24V from a 3D printer PSU, and, if so, would it have a reasonable lifespan? This seems like a neater solution than bodged USB cables and buck converters.
Chris @ BCR –
Hey Paul,
While the regulator is rated to 36V, this chip does get quite hot as you cross over 20V input at higher loads (greater than 1.5A continuous). If you were to address the heating, change / disable the PWR LED (it cant tolerate much more than ~18V with the current limiting resistor in place), and use it with a fairly stable input (the input cap is only rated to 35V) you could go over the 16V recommendation. Let us know if you have any additional questions!

Hi, recently bought one of these via Pi-Hut in the UK, and very happy so far.
But I have a question, I can’t find docs on this:
The Stemma/QT connectors, do they both connect to the same I2C bus, or is one on I2C-0 and the other on I2C-1?
Thanks and regards,
Richard
William @ BC Robotics –
Hi Richard,
Thanks for the feedback! Both are connected to the same I2C bus; these were designed back when many of the StemmaQT / Qwiic boards were only providing one connector – making the chaining of the boards not possible. With that now changing on most boards, the two connectors have become a bit redundant in a way – unless you need sensors in opposite directions i guess. Let us know if you have any other questions 🙂

Looking to build a Raspberry Pi Pico based Weather Station? The Raspberry Pi Pico Weather Board is just what you need! This board allows the Pico to operate with 12V power and provides connections for weather meters, a temperature sensor, and any Qwiic / STEMMA QT sensors or modules.
Available
The Raspberry Pi Pico Weather Board is an all in one breakout board designed to turn your Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico W into a weather station. We have included connections and supporting circuitry for a number of popular additions including our Weather Meters, a DS18B20, and the AM2315. Additionally, we have a SparkFun Qwiic and Adafruit STEMMA QT connector onboard, meaning any compatible sensor or breakout can easily be connected. Perfect for adding a BME280 for Humidity / Pressure, a Light Sensor, UV Sensor, or whatever else you might need!
Because 5V isn’t always available, this board has an onboard DC/DC power converter, allowing the Pico to operate on voltages of 7-16VDC. To make mounting as easy as possible, the Raspberry Pi Pico Irrigation Board is designed to fit in a standard Hammond 1591B enclosure.
Please Note: Raspberry Pi Pico not included.

Hi, great board. It would be useful to have a pinout for the various connectors.
Thanks
William @ BC Robotics –
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the feedback – we will get that added to the resources
Mike –
I can see a need for this. However, I don’t understand why the 40 pin header isn’t extended to allow for additional stacking HATs
Chris @ BCR –
Hi Mike, for that use case we recommend using the un-assembled version and adding the header you require: https://bc-robotics.com/shop/raspberry-pi-power-rtc-hat/
Chris B Olsen (verified owner) –
The UART breakout on the hat, where does this connect on the PI? Is it documented somewhere?
Thanks
William @ BC Robotics –
Hey Chris,
There is an tutorial coming for this board (and the Non-RTC version releasing today). The UART pins on the HAT connect directly to the UART pins on the GPIO header of the Pi. Quite literally a straight through connection
Chris B Olsen (verified owner) –
One more question.
Do you guys have any 3d models of this?
Working on a custom case in Fusion 360, would be handy
Chris @ BCR –
Unfortunately no 3D models are available
Cheers!
