Okay, everyone! We can proudly say that the Pico Bricks’s development phase is finished, and it adds way more to the Pico than just a few extra buttons and LED’s.

 
 

This is a full featured Pico development and learning system backed by an open-source IDE + Simulator Environment.  So, hold onto your seats and keep reading. This is a game changer!

 
 

Pico Bricks is an electronic development board + software which is designed for use in maker projects. With ten detachable modules included, Pico Bricks can be used to create a wide variety of projects. It also includes a protoboard that you can use to add your own modules!

 
 
 
 

Just plug in the usb cable and start using it right away!

 
 
 

No kidding! Pico Bricks is for everyone interested in electronics and coding. Beginners with no prior experience will find it easy to get started thanks to the modular hardware design, Scratch-like block coding environment, and simulator. Those with experience can dig more deeply into electronics or explore coding in Python. And even the most expert makers will appreciate how quickly they can explore ideas and create prototypes with Pico Bricks.

Unlike other boards, Pico Bricks has an incredible amount of flexibility for every level of makers! Bricks IDE has example codes for different scenarios. 

 
 

Comfortable with electronics, new to coding?

Learn coding from zero to hero with MicroBlocks or the Pico Bricks’s drag-n-drop, block coding builder. MicroBlocks is the easiest coding experience ever created and widely known in the maker industry. 

 
 

Comfortable with coding, new to electronics?

The Pico Bricks board comes with ten powerful pre-assembled modules that are already connected to the Raspberry Pi Pico so you can start coding your dream project right away, without doing any wiring or soldering. Just focus on your coding art!

 
 

New to both coding and electronics but ready to learn?

Don’t worry, you can’t believe how easy it is learn both at the same time with Pico Bricks. Scratch-like drag-and-drop coding tools make it easy to learn coding, and you’ll be able to see your code run right away either on the Pico Bricks board itself or on the software simulator.

 
 

Already an expert maker?

Python code editor, great components, a protoboard for adding your own components, and detailed documentation: we give you the tools you need. The rest is up to you!

 
 
 

Our team has over 11 years of combined experience in the Maker industry. We’ve used that experience to create the perfect companion board for the Raspberry Pi Pico. The components are powerful, inexpensive, widely available and well-supported by the maker community. Documentation, projects, tutorials and examples abound. Have a question? A quick web search will provide a wealth of information.

 
 
 
 
 

Once you’ve explored the Pico Bricks modules, you may want to use some of them in a project. Although Pico Bricks is compact, there’s no need to build the entire thing into your project. By detaching the Pico Bricks modules, you can connect just the modules you need using cables with standard, easy-to-use Grove connectors.

 
 

You can use Pico Bricks detachable modules in your various projects.

 
 
 
 

After dividing the Pico Bricks into modules, you can easily reassemble them again on the specially designed base plate.

 
 

You can print the base plates for which we provide 3D design files with your 3D printer in a color of your choice.After dividing the Pico Bricks into modules, you can easily reassemble them again on the specially designed base plate.

 
 
 
 
 

Pico Bricks supports various software development platforms that are useful for education, learning and making.

 
 
 

MicroBlocks is a free, Scratch-like blocks programming language for learning physical computing with educational microcontroller boards.

MicroBlocks includes full support for Pico Bricks, including libraries, demos and complete documentation. MicroBlocks is a live programming system that invites exploration. Click a block in the MicroBlocks IDE to see text appear on the OLED display right away. Graph the output from the light sensor as you wave your hand over it.

 
 

MicroBlocks allows complete beginners to get started quickly, from children as young as nine years old up through adults of all ages.

 
 

However, MicroBlocks isn’t just for beginners. It can be used to learn electronics, instrument science experiments, automate your home, and much more.

 
 

Beginners and experts alike will find that MicroBlocks is a great tool exploring every aspect of Pico Bricks.

 
 

No soldering! There are unlimited connections.
