Adafruit Proto Tripler PiCowbell for Pico and PicoW

The Adafruit Proto Tripler PiCowBell is a mini solder-less proto plate designed to simplify programming and connectivity for your Raspberry Pi Pico board. It features three 2x20 slim socket headers that allow plug in of the Pico and two additional 'bell accessories without soldering. Perfect for adding sensors or displays quickly and easily.

This board includes LiPoly/LiIon battery charging support with automatic charging and seamless power switching when USB is disconnected. It also supports Alkaline/NiMH battery packs with jumper modification. The built-in reset button, slide switch for power enable, and built-in NeoPixel enhance usability.

Connectivity is simplified via STEMMA QT / Qwiic compatible 4-pin JST SH connector for I2C devices, and an EYE SPI connector is available for high-resolution SPI displays. A prototyping area with double-row hollow socket headers is provided for easy wiring and soldering, with labeled pins and additional breakout holes for I2C.

Features:

• Three 2x20 slim socket headers for Raspberry Pi Pico and accessories
• JST PH connector for LiIon/LiPoly or Alkaline/NiMH batteries with charger disable jumper
• LiPoly/LiIon charging circuitry with 500mA default charge rate (250mA optional via jumper)
• Slide switch connected to Pico Enable pin to disable 3.3V power supply
• Reset button accessible at board edge
• STEMMA QT / Qwiic 4-pin JST SH connector for I2C
• EYE SPI connector for SPI displays with SD card and touchscreen support
• Double-row hollow socket headers with prototyping area underneath
• Gold-plated pads, labeled ground strips, and multiple breakout holes for easy soldering and wiring
• Four mounting holes for easy attachment

The board measures 96.3mm x 51.8mm x 6.8mm and weighs 25g, RoHS 2 compliant.
