Each one is in the editor’s parts panel. - Raspberry Pi Pico Raspberry Pi Pico Not in the kit: the Pico is sold separately. - Solderless Breadboard 400 point Half breadboard The kit’s board is printed with the Pico’s pin names. - Male to male jumper wires (10) Wires are drawn between pins in the editor. - Micro-servomotor and accessory bag Hobby servo - Strip of 0.1inch 20way header pins (2) Headers to solder onto the Pico; nothing to place. - 470Ω (5), 1kΩ (2) and 4.7MΩ (1) resistors Resistor - Red LED (2) LED - RGB LED (10mm) RGB LED - Tactile push switch (2 pin) (2) Pushbutton - Phototransistor Phototransistor - Piezo buzzer Piezo speaker - Variable resistor Potentiometer Listed on the current kit page (monkmakes.com/pico_kit1) and Adafruit’s page, not on the 2021 datasheet. Parts list read from MonkMakes’s datasheet. An item with no part beside it has no match in the editor yet. For the manual ## A link and a QR code for this page Print either one beside a lesson, or tape it inside the box lid. Both open this page. mokxi.com/k/monkmakes-electronics The code is black on white with a quiet border, so it prints and scans at any size from 2 cm up. Download the QR code (SVG) Make kits?

The page follows the kit’s lessons so you can use the two side by side; the circuits, sketches and explanations are Mokxi’s own. Do I need the kit? No. Every lesson that runs here runs in the browser, so you can try them before you buy a kit, or keep going while a part is missing or broken. Is the code the same as in my manual? The pins and the parts are the same, and the sketches use the same libraries where the kit does. The code itself is written for this page, with comments that explain each step, so it will not match the manual line for line. What do "with a change" and "coming soon" mean? A lesson marked "with a change" runs, but something differs from the kit, and the note under it says exactly what. "Coming soon" means we cannot simulate that lesson yet, and the note says why. We do not mark a lesson as running unless it does. Is it free? Yes. Every lesson on this page opens with no account. A free account saves your own copies of the circuits.
