Picopins, a CLI Pinout for the Raspberry Pi Pico

I was experimenting with ways to store pinout data to generate the Pico pinout website [1] rather than hand-editing HTML- and got carried away. Pretty much all the heavy lifting is done by the Python library "rich" [2], which makes colourised/structured output on the command-line dangerously easy. * [1] - https://pico.pinout.xyz * [2] - https://github.com/Textualize/rich

Picopins, a CLI Pinout for the Raspberry Pi Pico launched on May 12, 2023 with 5 votes, #2,303 of 4,910 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

    I've been trying to make accessible and beautiful GPIO pinouts since I started one for the Raspberry Pi in 2013 [1]. I've since given the Raspberry Pi Pico [2] and Pico 2 [3] microcontrollers the same treatment when they launched. Recently I've updated these with a new "Upside-down" view to complement the rear view, giving a pinout in the right orientation to match your project. The Pico sites are all hand-coded single HTML pages with supporting CSS and minimal JS. They are set up to optionally install as a "Desktop" web app. They also degrade into a somewhat usable table in lieu of CSS and…

    I wanted to create an accessible alternative to the official Pico pinout image, offering more complete pin details, light/dark modes, screen-readable text, and at least some capacity to focus on the peripherals you’re interested in. It’s a sister site to the now ancient Raspberry Pi pinout (https://pinout.xyz/) which started out life hosted on a Raspberry Pi.

    I’ve built hardware projects for years, and the gap between “I want X” and “parts ordered, files ready to print” always took weeks. Modo compresses that. Describe what you want (e.g. “a portable CO2 monitor with a display and buzzer”) and it generates: - A bill of materials with real components (MPNs, not hallucinated parts) - A printable enclosure generated from actual part dimensions - Wiring diagrams, firmware boilerplate, and assembly instructions - Design validation (power budget, pin conflicts, mechanical fit) Everything streams in real time as each phase completes. The key idea is…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
