Raspberry PICO Shield

The Raspberry PICO Shield is an adapter that allows you to install Raspberry Pi PICO and compatible modules in the mikroBUS^TM slot or connect mikroBUS^TM modules (such as MikroElekronika's Click®) to Raspberry Pi PICO modules.

The Raspberry PICO Shield is designed to install

• Raspberry PICO H
• Raspberry PICO WH
• Raspberry PICO 2
• Pimoroni Pico LiPo
• Waveshare RP2040 Plus
• Waveshare ESP32-S3 PICO
• Waveshare ESP32-C6 PICO
• BPI-Pico-RP2040

Almost all signals not used by mikroBUS^TM from the installed Raspberry Pi PICO are output to the AUX1 and AUX2 connectors, which makes it possible to use almost all Raspberry Pi PICO functions without changing the programs.

The I²C interface is most often used in the design of devices and instruments based on this module.

The Raspberry PICO Shield contains the voltage regulator AMS1117-3.3. On the bottom-side there is a jumper defining the 3V3 source on the mikroBUS^TM (from the installed to Raspberry Pi PICO module or from AMS1117-3.3). By default - from the installed module.

Optionally, a BME280 is installed on the bottom-side of the module (7-bit address on I²C = 111011x). The address for BME280 is selected with jumpers on the bottom-side. The default address should be 1110111.

The Raspberry PICO Shield size 51 x 29.21 mm.

The main areas of application of the module:

• Data acquisition systems (DAS)
• Scientific and medical devices
• Smart home and building automation
• HVAC and air monitoring
• Consumer electronic
• Toys

With Raspberry PICO Shield, it is easy to use Raspberry Pi PICO or compatible modules to control the following I/O modules:

• IoThing 2RO+2AI
• IoThing 2RO+2DI
• mikroBUS A+ Adapter
