Product information "Pimoroni Pico DV Demo Base"

A demo board for exploring the digital video and audio capabilities of the Raspberry Pi Pico, with HDMI connection, SD card slot, line-level I2S audio and buttons.
Are you fascinated by the possibilities of the VGA Demo Base, but no longer have a D-Sub cable? No problem! This board is a fully digital implementation of the Raspberry Pi's VGA reference design. It's ideal if you want to pass video and/or audio output from a Raspberry Pi Pico directly to a modern monitor.
We've used this board with the fancy PicoDVI library from Wren6991, which allows you to output a digital video signal with bitbang from an overclocked RP2040. To demonstrate the additional features of this board, we've put together an AV player example that allows you to read video files from the SD card and output video and audio at the same time.

Please note that the video functionality of the DV Demo Base currently only works with experimental examples such as those in PicoDVI.

RaspberryPi Pico is not included. Your Pico must be fitted with pin headers (with the pins facing down) to connect it to our add-on boards.

  • PCM5100A DAC for line out audio via I2S(data sheet)
  • SD card slot
  • Reset button
  • Socket connectors for installing your Raspberry Pi Pico
  • Three user controllable switches

About the Raspberry Pi Pico
Raspberry Pi Pico is a flexible, low-cost microcontroller development board from Raspberry Pi based on their own chip - the RP2040. It's easy to program over USB using C/C++ or MicroPython and is ideal for all kinds of physical computing projects, devices and inventions - we can't wait to see what you do with it! We've called our Pico-sized extensions backpacks because they're designed to attach to the back of your Pico as if it were wearing a stylish rucksack (or miniature jetpack if you prefer). We also have Pico Bases (larger add-on boards that you can attach your Pico to) and some other boards that let you do interesting things like use multiple backpacks at the same time - click here to see them all!

Optimize your Raspberry Pi - with Pimoroni

Pimoni is the expert when it comes to equipping your Raspberry Pi with high-quality add-on modules. The successful company was founded in 2012 in Sheffield, England, and now also has a branch in Essen, Germany. According to the University of Sheffield, Pimoroni is even considered one of the fastest growing manufacturing companies in the UK.

The electronics specialist has the right solution for almost every need around the Raspberry Pi. The product range also includes the Pimoroni Fan Shim, a powerful 30mm CPU fan for the Raspberry Pi, which is one of the top sellers from Pimoroni. The Fan Shim manages a powerful 4,200 RPM and delivers significant added value by optimizing the thermal performance of your Raspberry Pi. Compatibility exists with the Raspberry Pi 4, but also with the 3 B+ and 3 A+ models.

The fan is equipped with RGB LED and a tactile switch, making it wonderfully controllable. The LED serves as an indicator to track the fan status and CPU load/temperature. The tactile switch is also handy: With the help of the included Python library and a daemon, you can program it to switch between temperature-controlled automatic mode and manual mode. Thanks to its "friction-fit" header, the Pimoroni Fan Shim can easily be plugged onto the pins of your mini computer and is ready to go without soldering. In general, the installation is uncomplicated and should not take more than two minutes. While the fan is doing its job, the noise level is very low: The maximum value is only 18.6 dB.

Apart from the Pimoroni Fan Shim, many other top products from Pimoroni are available at Berrybase. The Pibow Coupé 4 is recommended for all owners of a Raspberry Pi 4: The compact case reliably protects your mini computer from external influences like dust or shocks. All ports remain open and thus accessible. The high-quality processed and easy to mount frame for the official 7" Raspberry Pi touchscreen display also fulfills its protective function perfectly. With the Pirate Audio HAT you get a first-class 3W stereo amplifier for your mini computer: Use the module in combination with your Raspberry Pi and your speakers to control the playback of your favorite music and to create powerful sound.

Depending on what you have in mind, you can also use other modules from Pimoroni, such as LED sensors, camera modules or the Pico HAT Hacker.
