Pico 2 W with Color Coded Pre-Soldered Header Compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W Board+ USB Cable, 2.4GHz 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth 5.2, RP2350 Chip Dual-Core& Dual-Architecture Design

The price is a bit heavy, vs the components. But can't beat the convenience.

Color coding is useful except when using them on a breadboard.

The Pico is a surprisingly powerful single-board computer, especially considering its compact size and sub-$20 price. It's packed with features including WiFi, Bluetooth, and a dual-core processor, making it capable for a wide range of automation and DIY projects.While beginners might face a steep learning curve, the Pico offers an inexpensive entry point into programming and maker projects. It's an excellent value for hobbyists and learners wanting to explore electronics and automation without breaking the bank.

This Pico 2 W kit is a fantastic upgrade for Raspberry Pi Pico projects that require wireless connectivity. The inclusion of 2.4GHz WiFi and Bluetooth 5.2 opens up a world of possibilities for IoT and connected devices. The color-coded pre-soldered header makes it incredibly easy to connect to breadboards and other components, and the included USB cable ensures you can get started right away. It's a well-designed and feature-rich board that builds upon the already capable Pico platform.

I have several Raspberry PIs powering multiple projects around my house and my office. I've historically done all my coding and compiling on a RPi4 and then transferred it over, but now with this one I have the actual PI I use in most of my projects on a breadboard, ready to prototype.Since it's a Raspberry Pi, the build quality is of course fantastic, the setup was a snap, and there is an almost overwhelming amount of learning and reference material for it on the internet.As for functionality, it has 26 digital IOs and 4 analog IOs, along with UART, I2C, SPI, and PWM capabilities. Like I said, it's a Pi, so it's a fantastic bang for the buck, and it comes with WIFI built in.It's a great micro SBC at a great price. If you want the ease of a Raspberry Pi in a smaller form factor, this is perfect.

If you or someone you know is getting into Raspberry Pi's or microcontrollers, particularly at more of a learning stage, then the color-coding on the headers of this Pico 2 W will be appreciated.The color coding and labeling is clear and easy to see and read. The headers being pre-soldered is also a benefit, although not particularly unusual by any means. The soldering on the board is well done. Seems to be of good build quality.I like that a USB cable is included. Additionally if you are one to use serial debugging, included is a 3 pin header (which is not soldered to the board).Overall I like the inclusion of the colors and the board labeling. It's a good choice!

I've got a variety of different Raspberry Pis as part of my home lab. The Pico 2s, while on the less powerful side of the Pi family, provide great functionality for a variety of tasks. It's also very difficult to beat the price point for something so functionally usable. With great developer and community support, I'd highly recommend a Pico 2 W to anyone wanting a low cost easy solution for a variety of tasks.

The Pico 2 W with added wifi support is a great dev board, and the pre-soldered and color coded header make this an even easier module to get started with. The price is also competative.
