Adafruit PiCowbell Proto for Pico - Reset Button & STEMMA QT

Ding dong! Hear that? It's the PiCowbell ringing, letting you know that the new Adafruit PiCowbell Proto is finally in stock and ready to assist your Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W project with handy hardware and practical prototyping.

The PiCowbell Proto is the same size and shape as a Pico, and is intended to socket underneath to make programming and sensor connectivity easy. It features a reset button and a STEMMA QT / Qwiic connector for fast I2C connections.

Important Note: The PiCowbell does not come with headers to keep things flexible, as there are multiple configurations:

• Use the Pico Stacking Headers to plug into a breadboard or accessories.
• Use the Pico Socket Headers for a solid connection without protruding pins.
• Use the Short Socket Headers for a slim, pluggable design.
• Solder the PCB directly to the Pico headers for a compact setup.

The PiCowbell Proto provides:

• Right angle reset button that sticks out the end.
• Right angle JST SH connector for I2C / STEMMA QT / Qwiic connections or GPIO wiring.
• Extra set of 4 breakout holes next to the JST SH for additional I2C connection or reassignment.
• 13 rows of 4-hole connected strips in the center area, treated like a mini-mini breadboard.
• Duplicate hole pad for every pad on the Pico for solder-jumpering.
• Ground pads with white silkscreen rectangles and a long ground strip near the reset button.
• One long strip of connected holes for 3.3V power.
• Gold plated pads for easy soldering.

Note: The board does not have I2C pullups, but most Qwiic/QT breakouts have them on-board. Compatible with Philhower Arduino core and CircuitPython/MicroPython with pin configuration for IO4 (SDA) and IO5 (SCL).

Product Dimensions: 52.0mm x 20.4mm x 4.7mm / 2.0" x 0.8" x 0.2"
