Show HN: An accessible, beautiful Raspberry Pi Pico pinout
I wanted to create an accessible alternative to the official Pico pinout image, offering more complete pin details, light/dark modes, screen-readable text, and at least some capacity to focus on the peripherals you’re interested in. It’s a sister site to the now ancient Raspberry Pi pinout (https://pinout.xyz/ https://pinout.xyz/) which started out life hosted on a Raspberry Pi.
- ftxbro 3y agowhat's the deal with raspberry pi are you still allowed to buy only one per person?
- gadgetoid 3y agoHow do I summon Jeff Geerling - he just interviewed Eben on this very topic. I can say that we - by which I mean my employer Pimoroni - will now sell you a whopping TEN Pi Zero W boards in one order.
- ftxbro 3y agoit's like i go to a soda fountain and put in a nickel and it dribbles ten drops of soda into my cup then tells me to come back an hour later
- geerlingguy 3y agoOnce the shortage abates completely, you could fill up your soda cup with Pi Zero though :)
- tomcam 3y agoI’m a little distracted by this soda fountain you seem to frequent
- wkat4242 3y agoWhat about the 2W?
- whiskers 3y agoAs best we understand once the supply chain issues with the parts that the 2W relies on are resolved that too will be similarly available. All Pi products have a different bill of materials (or they wouldn't be different products) so they are all affected in different ways by the issues of the past couple of years. Patience will be rewarded, etc.
- ctippett 3y agoThe pinout design is nice, but I'm almost more impressed by the favicon – its very clever and looks great (I noticed it when bookmarking the site).
- gadgetoid 3y agoThanks! Aha, that was made in a bit of a hurry for pinout.xyz back in July 2013 when uhh I fell afoul of Raspberry Pi trademark terms! Necessity is the mother of invention.
- gadgetoid 3y agoOh wait, did I forget about the Pi, Pi[co], Pi[nout] logo?- I was thinking of the earlier pixel-Raspberry logo.
- infinityio 3y agoThe last time I worked on a raspberry pi-based project I made extensive use of pinout.xyz, and this new page looks to be a great evolution - thank you for creating them!
- nubinetwork 3y agoWhy can't pinout.xyz look like this?
- gadgetoid 3y agoThat’s a good question- it could probably adopt some of the things I’ve learned from the Pico layout (light/dark modes for starters) but it’s left-aligned in order to fit text and details about individual add-on boards. It also once had a Pi outline peeking in from the top left to help people orient the pinout.
- lintim 3y agoI've had a raspberry pi device project in my head for a while so this is helpful and timely
