Terminal Block Board for Raspberry Pi Pico Wiki - DFRobot

Introduction

This Raspberry Pi Pico terminal expansion board is just right for makers who love using terminal block for wiring up their projects!
The board has all pins of Pico broken out into terminal blocks and provides users with additional GDI, 5V output and 7-24 power input. Each port is labeled with clear silkscreens. All terminal blocks (except GND) have LED indicators for status indicating, which can be turned off using the onboard switch when not required.

Tutorial

Digital Port

This sample uses the Blink code to show the level change of the port.

int LED=0;
void setup() {
  pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);   
  delay(1000);                       
  digitalWrite(LED, LOW);    
  delay(1000);                      
}

Result

After the code is downloaded into PICO, it can be viewed that the LED corresponding to the GP0 will blink.

I2C Port

The Terminal Block Board: 5V (connect to) SHT40: VCC

The Terminal Block Board: GND (connect to) SHT40: GND

The Terminal Block Board: GP4 (connect to) SHT40: SCL

The Terminal Block Board: GP5 (connect to) SHT40: SDA

This sample shows the I2C function by using the SHT40 temperature and humidity sensor to measure the current ambient temperature and humidity.

#include"DFRobot_SHT40.h"

DFRobot_SHT40 SHT40(SHT40_AD1B_IIC_ADDR); 


uint32_t id = 0;
float temperature, humidity;

void setup() {

  Serial.begin(9600);
  SHT40.begin();

  while((id = SHT40.getDeviceID()) == 0){
    Serial.println("ID retrieval error, please check whether the device is connected correctly!!!");
    delay(1000);
  }

  delay(1000);
  Serial.print("id :0x"); Serial.println(id, HEX);

}

void loop() {
  temperature = SHT40.getTemperature(/*mode = */PRECISION_HIGH);
  humidity = SHT40.getHumidity(/*mode = */PRECISION_HIGH);

  if(temperature == MODE_ERR){
    Serial.println("Incorrect mode configuration to get temperature");
  } else{
    Serial.print("Temperature :"); Serial.print(temperature); Serial.println(" C");
  }
  if(humidity == MODE_ERR){
    Serial.println("The mode for getting humidity was misconfigured");
  } else{
    Serial.print("Humidity :"); Serial.print(humidity); Serial.println(" %RH");
  }
  if(humidity > 80){

    SHT40.enHeater(/*mode = */POWER_CONSUMPTION_H_HEATER_1S);
  }
  delay(1000);

  Serial.println("----------------------------------------");
}

Program description: print the temperature and humidity information read by the sensor on the serial monitor.
