Cansat Pico in few words
The CanSat-Pico-Kit is build around the Raspberry-Pi Pico plateform.

Cansat Pico Kit content
The Cansat Pico Kit is designed to be compact, evolutive, customisable, sizable (in height) and programmed in Python (thank to MicroPython).
Once assembled with spacer you designed, you do have a cylindrical development plateform with plenty of space.
You can develop your project:
- either in the inner space between the bottom and the top boards.
- either using smaller spacers to develop your project in the inner space and also the outer space.
Outer space can also be used thanks to the through holes PCBs and the labelling the both sides of the PCBs.
Pico Boards
The Raspberry-Pi Pico is at the earth of this kit. One is soldered onto the Cansat Kit, the other is free for use to make prototyping or creating the receiving base station.
See the Cansat Pico User Guide section for more information on its integration.
See the Official Pico MicroPython starter guide for learning more about MicroPython on Pico.
