The Robo Pico: Simplifying Robotics for Raspberry Pi Pico / Pico W (Robo Pico Only) is a device designed to seamlessly integrate with the Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W. It is equipped with a 2-channel DC motor driver, four servo motor ports, and seven Grove I/O connectors, making it an ideal choice for designing a WiFi-controlled robot car or constructing a smart IoT project system.
The Robo Pico harnesses the capabilities of the Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W. It comes with a dual-channel DC motor driver, four servo motor ports, seven Grove ports, a Maker port, two RGB LED NeoPixels, and a piezo buzzer. The onboard DC motor driver is designed to manage either two brushed DC motors or a single bipolar/unipolar stepper motor, and even four servo motors simultaneously, rated between 3.6V and 6V. Each channel can handle up to 1A of continuous current.
The device also includes Quick Test buttons and motor output LEDs for quick and easy checks on the motor driver without the need for writing any code. All GPIO pins are conveniently arranged at the edge through the Grove and Maker ports, eliminating the need for soldering and enabling faster connection of any Qwiic, STEMMA QT, or Grove I2C device. All Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico W pins can be accessed via two 20-way pin headers.
The Robo Pico features a single button to reset the microcontroller, eliminating the need for repeated plugging and unplugging of the USB cable. There are three ways to power the Robo Pico - via the Raspberry Pi Pico W USB (5V) socket, with a single-cell LiPo/Li-Ion battery, or through the VIN (3.6–6V) terminals. However, only one power source is required to power both the controller board and motors at a time. The power supply from all these sources can be controlled with the power on/off switch onboard.
The Robo Pico is a versatile platform, suitable for experts in CircuitPython, MicroPython, or C++ as well as beginners. It allows users to choose the language that best suits them, or provides an opportunity to learn a new one. The Robo Pico is not just about crafting physical projects - it's about enhancing coding skills as well.
Important Note: Only one power source is needed at a time to power up both the controller board and motors. The power supply from all these power sources can all be controlled with the power on/off switch onboard.

Return Conditions
To qualify for a refund under the 30-day return policy, all of the following conditions must be met:
- A valid Return Authorisation (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
- The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
- The RA number must be included with the return.
- Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
- Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
- Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
- A £100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
- A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
- Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
- Consumables * — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tyres, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
- Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
- Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odour-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
- Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly * — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
- Digital Goods, Software, and Apps * — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
- Clearance Items * — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
