It's all wrapped up in a nice, sturdy baseboard with a pleasingly compact footprint which won't involve nearly as many trailing wires as if you were experimenting with a traditional breadboard setup. Boo wires, yay Pico Explorer!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur comprehensive MicroPython and C++ libraries will let you control every aspect of the board like a digital maestro.
