The board's main processor is a low-power Arm® Cortex®-M0 32-bit SAMD21. The WiFi and Bluetooth® connectivity is performed with a module from u-blox, the NINA-W10, a low-power chipset operating in the 2.4GHz range. On top of that, secure communication is ensured through the Microchip® ECC608 crypto chip. Besides that, you can find a 6 axis IMU, which makes this board perfect for simple vibration alarm systems, pedometers, the relative positioning of robots, etc. WiFi and Arduino IoT Cloud You can get your board to connect to any kind of existing WiFi network, or use it to create your own Arduino Access Point. The specific set of examples we provide for the Nano 33 IoT can be consulted at the WiFiNINA library reference page. It is also possible to connect your board to different Cloud services, Arduino's own among others. Here are some examples of how to get the Arduino boards to connect to:

Pico Breakout Garden Base sits underneath your Pico and lets you connect up to six of our extensive selection of Pimoroni breakouts to it. Whether it's environmental sensors so you can keep track of the temperature and humidity in your office, a whole host of little screens for important notifications and readouts, and, of course, LEDs. Scroll down for a list of breakouts that are currently compatible with our C++/MicroPython libraries!As well as a labelled landing area for your Pico, there's also a full set of broken out Pico connections, in case you need to attach even more sensors, wires, and circuitry. We've thrown in some rubber feet to keep the base nice and stable and to stop it from scratching your desk, or there are M2.5 mounting holes at the corners so that you can bolt it onto a solid surface if you prefer.The six sturdy black slots are edge connectors that connect the breakouts to the pins on your Pico. There's two slots for SPI breakouts, and four slots for I²C breakouts. Because I²C is a bus, you can use multiple I²C devices at the same time, providing they don't have the same I²C address (we've made sure that all of our breakouts have different addresses, and we print them on the back of the breakouts so they're easy to find).As well as being a handy way to add functionality to your Pico, Breakout Garden is also very useful for prototyping projects without the need for complicated wiring, soldering, or breadboards, and you can grow or change up your setup at any time.Features

This huge assortment of sensors makes an amazing gift for that exceptional electronics enthusiast in your life!
Included
Large Piezo Vibration Sensor (With Mass): A flexible film able to sense for vibration, touch, shock, etc. When the film moves back and forth an AC wave is created, with a voltage of up to ±90.
Reed Switch: Senses magnetic fields, makes for a great non-contact switch.
0.25' Magnet Square: Plays nicely with the reed switch. Embed the magnet into stuffed animals or inside a box to create a hidden actuator to the reed switch.
0.5' Force Sensitive Resistor: A force-sensing resistor with a 0.5' diameter sensing area. Great for sensing pressure (i.e., if it's being squeezed).
Flex Sensor (2.2'): As the sensor is flexed, the resistance across the sensor increases. Useful for sensing motion or positioning.
SoftPot: These are very thin variable potentiometers. By pressing on various positions along the strip, you vary the resistance.
Mini Photocell: The photocell will vary its resistance based on how much light it's exposed to. Will vary from 1kΩ in the light to 10kΩ in the dark.
PIR Motion Sensor: Easy-to-use motion detector with an analog interface. Power it with 5-12VDC, and you'll be alerted of any movement.
QRD1114 Optical Detector/Phototransistor: An all-in-one infrared emitter and detector. Ideal for sensing black-to-white transitions or can be used to detect nearby objects.
IR Diode: This LED can handle up to 50mA of current and outputs in the 940-950nm IR spectrum. Use to send signal to talk to the included IR receiver diode or just turn off your neighbor's TV.
IR Receiver Diode: This simple IR receiver will detect an IR signal coming from a standard IR remote control or the IR diode included in the kit.
Resistor 1.0M Ohm 1/4 Watt PTH: Two 1/4 Watt, +/- 5% tolerance PTH resistors. Commonly used in breadboards and perf boards. The large resistor helps dampen any voltage spikes when using the large piezo vibration sensor with a microcontroller.
Resistor 10K Ohm 1/4 Watt PTH – 20 pack (Thick Leads): 1/4 Watt, +/- 5% tolerance PTH resistors. Commonly used in breadboards and perf boards, these 10KΩ resistors make excellent pullups, pulldowns, and current limiters.
Resistor 330 Ohm 1/4 Watt PTH – 20 pack (Thick Leads): 1/4 Watt +/- 5% tolerance PTH resistors. Commonly used in breadboards and perf boards, these 330Ω resistors make excellent current-limiting resistors for LEDs.
SparkFun 9DoF IMU Breakout – ISM330DHCX, MMC5983MA (Qwiic): This breakout board includes a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, and 3-axis magnetometer. Connect this board over I2C using a Qwiic cable or solder wires or headers to the SPI pins to get started using one of the three sensors or using all three together to determine 3D orientation.
SparkFun Atmospheric Sensor Breakout – BME280 (Qwiic): The SparkFun BME280 Atmospheric Sensor Breakout is an easy way to measure barometric pressure, humidity, and temperature readings, all without taking up too much space.
SparkFun Indoor Air Quality Sensor – ENS160 (Qwiic): The SparkFun ENS160 Indoor Air Quality Sensor is a digital multi-gas sensor solution with four sensor elements that can be used in a wide range of applications including building automation, smart home, and HVAC.
SparkFun Capacitive Touch Slider – CAP1203 (Qwiic): This little board acts great as a non-mechanical button. Use the three pads on the board or connect your own input for a great touch button or slider with no moving parts.
Flexible Qwiic Cable (100 mm): Use these to connect up to four Qwiic boards in your kit.
RGB and Gesture Sensor (APDS-9960): This board does a little bit of everything. You can measure ambient light or color as well as detect proximity and do gesture sensing all over I2C.
Soil Moisture Sensor (with screw terminals): Ever wonder if your plant needs water? This sensor outputs an analog signal based on the resistance of the soil. Since water is conductive, the soil water content will be reflected in the soil resistance.
Sound Detector: Ever need to know if there is noise in an area? This board will not only tell you, but it will also output amplitude as well as the full audio signal.
Break Away Headers (Straight): Solder these pins to any of the breakouts to prototype on a breadboard. You'll want to solder these to boards that do not have Qwiic connectors such as the gesture sensor and sound detector.
The servo control is based on the SparkFun servo pHAT, and thanks to its I2C capabilities, this PWM add-on saves the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins, allowing you to use them for other purposes. We have also provided a Qwiic connector for easy interfacing with the I²C bus using the Qwiic system. Whether you use the Auto pHAT with a Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA, Jetson Nano, Google Coral, or other SBC, it makes for a unique robotics addition and board with a 2x20 GPIO.
The DC motor control comes from the same 4245 PSOC and 2-channel motor ports system used on the SparkFun Qwiic Motor Driver. This provides 1.2A steady-state drive per channel (1.5A peak) and 127 levels of DC drive strength. The SparkFun Auto pHAT also supports up to two motor encoders thanks to the onboard ATTINY84A to provide more precise movement to your creation!
Additionally, the Auto pHAT has an on-board ICM-20948 9DOF IMU for all your motion-sensing needs. This enables your robot to access the 3-Axis Gyroscope with four selectable ranges, 3-Axis Accelerometer, again with four selectable ranges, and 3-axis magnetometer with an FSR of ±4900µT.
Power to the SparkFun Auto pHAT can be supplied through a USB-C connector or external power. This will power either the motors only or power the motors and the Raspberry Pi that is connected to the HAT. We've even added power protection circuits to the design to avoid damage to power sources.
