Description
Ding dong! Hear that? It's the PiCowbell ringing, letting you know that the new Adafruit Terminal PiCowbell is finally in stock and ready to assist your Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W projects with handy hardware and practical prototyping using screw terminal blocks for each and every pin.
This board is ideal for quick access to connect solid or stranded core wires to any of the GPIO pads on the Pico. The board uses four 10-pin 2.54" pitch screw terminal blocks that can accommodate 18~26 AWG wires. Every pin is connected 1-to-1, providing ample ground connections.
Note: This PiCowbell does not come with socket or pin headers to keep configurations flexible. Various headers are available for purchase separately depending on your preferences for soldering and attachment, allowing access to the BOOTSEL button and LED.
Header options include:
- Pico Stacking Headers for breadboard or socket connections
- Pico Socket Headers for a solid direct connection
- Short Socket Headers for slim pluggable designs
- Direct soldering of the PCB to Pico headers for compact design (non-removable)
Key features:
- 40 screw terminal blocks matching each pin on the Pico or Pico W
- Right angle reset button protruding from the board end
- Right angle JST SH connector for I2C / Stemma QT / Qwiic connections providing 3V, GND, IO4 (SDA), and IO5 (SCL)
- Extra 4-hole breakout next to JST SH for additional I2C or reassigned connections
- 15 rows of 8-hole connected strips acting like a mini breadboard
- Duplicate hole pads next to every Pico pad for solder jumpering
- White silkscreen rectangles marking ground pads and a long ground strip near the reset button
- Long strip of connected holes for 3.3V power
- Gold-plated pads for easy soldering
No I2C pullup resistors included, but many Qwiic/QT breakout boards have them onboard. Compatible with Philhower Arduino core, CircuitPython, and MicroPython (with pin adjustments).
