I had a Pico and I wanted to make a, well 4, sensor circuit(s) for my model train layout So I soldered on pins to my Pico and plugged it in to this Pico Base, so easy. This is the best accessory I have ever bought for prototyping, just can see everything and so simple to connect to my breadboard with jumper wires. It also has a lot of additional plugs but I did not have those connectors. LED status for every pin, I think; No messing about with discrete bits and bobs. Also easy to clip on my scope. .

I am very pleased with it, though I haven't done much with it yet. I like that the pins have leds on them. There's a link on the back of the board which you can cut which I think will disable the leds if you don't need them.

Very reasonably price and of good quality. Easy to see what's happening as a led is connected to each pin. Three switch inputs allow for easy input testing and finally sd card useful for extra storage

This is a game changer product. It provides the logic status of every IO pin which is really useful. Plus it has an SD card slot and a Speaker. But the feature that really like is the ESP-01 connector. This allows you to give the Pico a WiFi connection very conveniently. The price is very good too. My only disappointment was that you were out of stock of the ones with the Pico already fitted!

Maker Pi Pico Base: first off what a beautiful and well designed Board well worth the incredulous £8.00 asking price. Leds on every pin Superb, if you are interested in using the Pico to the fullest then please buy this Board and enjoy what awaits you. I really cannot praise this Board high enough.....
