SBC Pico breadboard kit - for wishlist?

I am using these great little breadboards to help my students setup quick circuits for using the Raspberry Pi Pico with various sensors and other components.

I would love to create some diagrams for them to follow, many of them need more than verbal instructions, and I’m happy to do the work myself but I don’t know where to start. How could I add this to the general ‘wishlist’?!

Supply a web sitethat properly describes what you want with physical dimensions and connections (a picture is basically useless) and I will have a look at creating one.

Thanks Peter, here is a PDF with the schematic in Pico schematic

OK here is a part that should do what you want. It is somewhat odd in that it needs a breadboard in it (which won’t work in a normal part) so there is a part which needs to have an appropriate half size breadboard moved in to it like this:

the blank area circled in red is where the breadboard needs to be moved. To do that set the breadboard to half+ like this

which changes the breadboard to half+ size then move the breadboard in to the hole in the part like this:

You would be best to lock bot the breadboard and the part as moving one (even by accident) will not move the other. Pcb view has been suppressed as not useful but schematic exists and components added in breadboard will show up with connections in schematic (you may not be interested in schematic, but someone else may be.)

Wow, THANK YOU! I totally wasn’t expecting such an amazingly quick response!
I’m extremely grateful. I’ll be able to start preparing the project instructions for my students sooner than I thought,
Best wishes, Diana (and a whole bunch of very enthusiastic teenagers learning Python and computer science!)
