STD IoTbase PICO: The Standard Solution for Reliable IoT with Wide Power Supply

The STD IoTbase PICO carrier module (SKU 020215305021) is a universal platform designed for quick and seamless integration of modules in the Raspberry Pi PICO form factor, as well as extending functionality using IoTextra series mezzanines and mikroBUS™ modules. This is an Open Source Design solution, perfectly suited for modular design of small series of IoT, IIoT devices, and Smart Home systems, as well as for rapid prototyping.

Key Distinction (STD Version)

The STD version is standard and is designed for stationary and industrial applications that require reliable power supply: - Power: Includes a built-in 5W (1A) DC-DC converter, which allows supplying an external non-isolated voltage in a wide range of 9-36VDC (via the terminal block). - Display Support: Includes the EYESPI FFC connector for displays. - Industrial Peripherals: RS-485 and 1-Wire interfaces are not installed in this configuration. - Additionally: Can also be powered via USB Type-C (5VDC).

Main Onboard Features

• PICO Slot: P1 and P2 connectors for installing any compatible Raspberry Pi PICO format modules, including PICO, PICO W, PICO 2, PICO 2 W, as well as RP2040 and ESP32-S3/C6 based modules.
• Display Connector (Adafruit EYESPI): Features an 18-pin FFC connector for easy integration of compatible displays.
• Mezzanine Support: HOST connectors for installing IoTextra series mezzanines.
• mikroBUS™ Support: M1 connector and auxiliary M2/M3 slots for integrating the extensive mikroBUS™ sensor and peripheral ecosystem.
• I²C Communications: Two Qwiic/STEMMA QT connectors for easy connection of external sensors and peripherals via the I²C bus.
• EEPROM Memory: Built-in memory (8 Kbit) for reliable storage of configuration and user data.
• Form Factor: Matches the popular Raspberry Pi B+ board size (85 * 56 mm).

Software Ecosystem Support

Thanks to the use of Raspberry Pi PICO form factor modules, the IoTbase PICO board is widely compatible with popular tools and ecosystems: - Native Programming: Full support for MicroPython and C/C++. - Visual Programming: Enables rapid integration with Node-RED and Blynk platforms (depending on the SOM module installed in the PICO slot). - IoTflow Integration: Deeply integrated into the IoTflow software platform (for creating Node-RED nodes and their integration). - Documentation: Open Source Design and code examples for quick starting.
