TinyPICO[D] - The REINVENTED tiny, mighty ESP32 development board
![TinyPICO[D] features](https://unexpectedmaker.com/images/features/main_features_tinypicod.webp)
Meet TinyPICO[D]
TinyPICO[D] is the TinyPICO you know, re-designed with the Series[D] upgrades: an onboard antenna and a u.FL connector on the same board, switchable from your code, an I²C fuel gauge for accurate battery monitoring & a new ultra low power 1010 Neopixel RGB LED. It keeps the original TinyPICO footprint.
![Series[D] features: Both antennas. One board. · Switch in software. · Know your battery.](https://unexpectedmaker.com/images/product-content/series-d-features-tinypicod.gif)
NOTE The onboard antenna is selected by default, so you never need to worry about the RF switch being in a bad state, or the ESP32 getting damaged if you forget to plug in an external antenna.
TinyPICO[D] uses the CH9102F Serial2UART chip instead of the CP2104. If you are using Windows or macOS, you will need to install the driver to be able to access the TinyPICO via USB.
