Raspberry pi pico 2W on the go!

Have you ever wanted an easy way to keep your Raspberry Pi Pico setup tidy, or a simple kit you can take with you on your commute or when you travel? I found myself wanting exactly that, so I put together a small assortment box that fits everything I need to start developing anywhere.

Inside my little kit, I keep:

  • 2 Raspberry Pi Pico 2W boards - Always good to have a backup ;)
  • A Raspberry Pi Debug Probe
  • A USB stick with a portable Thonny installation
  • 2 USB-A to USB-C adapters, so I can plug USB stick or cable into modern laptops that only have USB-C ports

The images below show the small assortment box I use. When closed, it’s small enough to slip into a backpack, and when opened, it provides me access to everything I need to start coding on the go:

It’s a tiny setup, but it keeps me productive even when I only have a couple of minutes.
