MonkMakes
If you done using a breadboard for Pico and are ready to take your prototype to solder, you will love this board.
It can be tricky to work out which pin is which when using a Raspberry Pi Pico
with prototyping board. The MonkMakes Pico Proto PCB solves this problem by
labeling the Pico pins on the PCB.
The MonkMakes Pico Proto PCB makes it easy to make soldered prototypes using the Raspberry Pi Pico. You can solder the Pico to the prototyping board using the castelations around the edge of the board, or using header pins, or even solder header sockets onto the Pico Proto PCB so that you can easily swap out the Pico.
Specifications
The layout of the Pico Proto PCB is modelled on a 400-point breadboard, and after the Pico is soldered to the PCB, there are 10 more rows, that can be used for through hole components
WARNING: Low voltage, low current usage only. Maximum 50V at 3A.

A must-have for your maker projects. This versatile switch provides seamless control over four channels, making it perfect for a variety of applications. The kit comes with a PCB, pre-attached surface mount components, and optional soldering for customization. With features like over-current protection, power and channel indicator LEDs, and low-side switching capabilities of up to 2A per channel, the Mosfetti ensures reliable performance. Each channel is equipped with a flyback diode, making it suitable for handling inductive loads. Take your projects to the next level with the Mosfetti 4 Channel Switch.
The Mosfetti is a 4 channel MOSFET switch designed for maker projects. It is supplied as a PCB with surface mount components attached and header pins and screw terminals as a kit for the customer to solder if required.
- Resettable ‘polyfuse’ to protect against over-current
- Power indicator LED
- LED indicator for each channel
- Low-side switching up to 2A per channel
- Flyback diode on each channel for inductive loads
Typical Uses
RVs, model railroads, strobe lights, irrigation pumps

The MonkMakes Switch for micro:bit is a solid-state (no moving parts) switch that allows an output of a micro:bit to turn things on and off.
This board can be used to switch low voltage devices such as light bulbs, a motor, a small heating element or even a string of 12V LED lighting. The voltage needs to be kept under 16V, but the switch will automatically protect itself against too much current.

The MonkMakes Amplified Speaker 2 is an easy to use amplified speaker on a circuit board.
The board needs a 3.3 to 6V power supply that can be provided by a Raspberry Pi or Arduino. Audio input will normally be to the 3.5mm stereo audio jack socket, which is mixed to a mono signal.
The product includes a separate input with low-pass filter for use with PWM/PCM audio.

Now updated with a new chapter on the Raspberry Pico W, this book will teach you Python programming and some basic electronics without assuming any prior knowledge of either subject.
The book initially focusses on Python programming, building up a Morse Code example using the Raspberry Pi Pico’s built-in LED. Once you have mastered the basics of coding the Pico, the book will introduce electronics, showing you how to use sensors, switches, LEDs, servomotors and displays attached to your Pico or Pico W.
All the parts used in the book are available in the companion kit, Electronics Kit 1 for Pico (SKU00088)
