Breakout board aids Pico development

This kit provides a screw terminal for each pin on the Raspberry Pi Pico. I
hope you do a better job soldering the headers than they did before taking
this picture, though.

So, Ive started playing around with a Raspberry Pi Pico. All Ive been able
to do so far is to blink the LED with a little Python program, but its
going to be a lot of fun.

To make it even more fun, I just purchased and built the Raspberry Pi Pico
Breakout Board (see right). One thing that I like about it is the terminal
strips. The terminal strips will allow me to make secure connections to
sensors and other I/O. Another nice feature is that the kit includes the
headers that you need to solder to the Pico.

Theres a lot of soldering. 120 solder joints in all. But, it didnt take too
long, once I got into the rhythm. And, once you get all the soldering done,
you have an effective development aid.
