Pico Jumbo (Pico 2 Aboard)

Psst, haven’t you heard? Megacontrollers are the new microcontrollers. Large is the new little. Chonk is the new smol. Pico Jumbo is agiant (3.5x scale) Raspberry Pi Pico 2that has the following advantages over the standard-sized one:

• The holes and castellations in the ridiculous oversized pads aregreat for connecting up crocodile/alligator clips– very useful for demo-ing in a classroom, workshop or on Youtube.
• It has the ultimate best number one all-time no notes Pico upgrade – areset button.
• Things on the wrong scale are inherently funny to us.

You can buy a Pico Jumbo on its own or in a starter kit along with a selection of pleasantly chunky components, so you can experience the pure childlike joy of blinking a big ol’ LED or wiring up a big ol’ button.
