## What is PicoLab?

Explore electronics with PicoLab, a virtual circuit workbench for Raspberry Pi Pico projects.

BUILD AND EXPERIMENT
Place a Pico on a virtual breadboard, add components and connect wires. Start with a guided build or create your own circuit. Explore LEDs, buttons, resistors and piezo experiments without physical hardware.

SEE HOW CIRCUITS WORK
Use the 2D board or explore your circuit in 3D. Inspect supported voltages, currents and wiring faults, then change a connection and see what happens.

EXPLORE CODE PREVIEW
Use supported code patterns to illustrate circuit behaviour. On iOS, Code preview illustrates recognised patterns; it does not execute MicroPython. Switch to Code off to explore basic circuits without code.

KEEP YOUR PROJECTS
Save, rename and duplicate projects on your device. Import and export editable JSON projects, and import supported KiCad XML netlists. Use the Pico pin guide and reference links when planning your next build.

KNOW THE LIMITS
PicoLab is an educational simulation with simplified electrical models. It is not a SPICE simulator or a guarantee that a real circuit is safe. Check component ratings and official documentation before connecting physical hardware.

PicoLab is an independent learning app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Raspberry Pi.
