Review: Good quality, convenient features - This is a well-designed and easy-to-use breakout board. The LED indicators for each GPIO are incredibly useful for debugging without needing to connect external LEDs or use a multimeter. For example, if a GPIO is mistakenly left floating (instead of enabling an internal pull-up), you can immediately see the LED flashing erratically, making it easy to identify the issue. Similarly, when testing outputs, you can confirm that they are functioning as expected in your code without having to connect additional components. When you're ready to hook up components, the screw terminals are high quality and provide a secure connection. I do recommend using silicone-insulated stranded wire, as it provides the most secure and reliable connection for 2.54mm screw terminals. While I haven’t tested larger AWG wire on this board, past experience suggests silicone stranded wire offers the best durability. While this isn't the cheapest breakout board available, the time saved in debugging and setup makes it worth the cost. Another great feature is that the LED indicators are isolated, meaning they don’t interfere with the normal behavior of the GPIOs, which is a big plus. The Pins are clearly labeled which as well is nice. Overall, if you're working with the Raspberry Pi Pico and want a breakout board that simplifies prototyping and debugging, this is a good choice.
Review: Super to check/verify GPIO function - This board has LEDs to see when a GPIO is hi or lo and screw terminals to connect externals to power and GPIOs. It is great for viewing my project in development and aiding connection to sensors and devices. So handy (and mountable), I left it connected to the I/O for easy change, removed the Pico-w and just ordered another Breakout Board for my next project. Also handy for checking functionality of pico GPIO by cycling through them with this simple script /* RW and blink test Write then Read each GPIO pin and blink the LED on the Freenove break-out board at the same time. (which is failing, the Pico or my IO?) For Newbies (would have helped me a few years ago) it goes something like: Setup is for things you only do once, first, so, setting it up. It reads: For GPIO pins starting at GPIO0 and going as long as GPIO is less than 29; OH! If GPIO is not 23 or 24 or 25; (not for our use) Set the GPIO pin mode to output (to write it, You can still read it, as input). The loop runs over and over let's call it looping: Again for i (GPIO number) is 0 to 28 omitting 23. 24. and 25: and let's do this all twice; First write the pin high {or on, or 1, or true): then check if it's there (it's there boolean wise if it's not 0, off, false, low) if as written, print that to the serial monitor else if it isn't there, as written, print that. Then set it low, off, 0, false and check and report result as above Rince and repeat go to the next GPIO and the next ... */ int i, repeat = 0; //i stands for itteration, you can pick any name you like // we will use these variables to count below in our "for loops" void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // Sets you serial monitor to 9600 baud for (i = 0; i < 29; i ++){ // ++ increments i by one if (!(i == 23 || i == 24 || i == 25)){ // they are not available for your IO use pinMode(i, OUTPUT); } } } void loop() { for ( i = 0; i < 29; i ++){ if (!(i == 23 || i == 24 || i == 25)){ // ! means logical not , || means logical or for (repeat = 1; repeat <= 2; repeat ++){ digitalWrite(i, HIGH); // turn the LED voltage and logic HIGH, on, 1, true if (digitalRead(i)){ // if GPIO number i is not 0 Serial.println("GPIO " + String(i) + " reads high"); } else{Serial.println("GPIO " + String(i) + " didn't read high");} delay(500); // wait half a second digitalWrite(i, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW if (!digitalRead(i)){ Serial.println("GPIO " + String(i) + " reads low"); } else{Serial.println("GPIO " + String(i) + " didn't read low");} delay(500); } } } }

## Features

- Compatible Models: Raspberry Pi Pico / Pico H / Pico W / Pico WH / Pico 2 / Pico 2 W (NOT included in this kit)
- GPIO Status LED: LED on if GPIO outputs / inputs high level, LED off if GPIO outputs / inputs low level
- Independent LED: The status LED is driven by the chip instead of the GPIO so the GPIO will not be affected
- Terminal Block and Header: Connect to all pins of Raspberry Pi Pico, 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) pitch
- Pin Name: The name of each Pin is printed next to it

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the size of the four corner spacer holes?**
A: Dear customer,

The diameter of each hole is 2.5mm.

If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us.

**Q: Hi, do we need to buy the Raspberry Pi Pico with Pre-Soldered Header for this to work outside of the box?  I see the back part is all female.**
A: Dear customer,

Thank you for choosing Freenove. We are fully responsible for any concerns.
Yes, you need a pre-soldered pico.

If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us.

Best regards,

**Q: Can i hook up a 42v servo to this ?**
A: Dear customer,

Thank you for choosing Freenove. We are fully responsible for any concerns.

No.
The board is just a breakout board for pico board, which facilitates the wiring to the pico.

If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us.
Best regards,
Shaynee

**Q: Are the mounting holes in the same locations as a (non-pico) Raspberry Pi? (so that it can be attached to a RAB holder)**
A: I believe this is specific to the pico but if you have some know how you could always run some wires and do some experimenting. I’m thinking about using mine with a  expansion board that is used for the Yahboom jetbot typically. Best part about gpio and the versatility of the raspberry micro verse is the ability to mix match. Some coding knowledge is a must and trial and error always comes before the golden goose
