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 a giant (3.5x scale) Raspberry Pi Pico 2 that has the following advantages over the standard-sized one:

• The holes and castellations in the ridiculous oversized pads are great 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 – a reset 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.
