Pico Wi-Fi HAT

Pico Wi-Fi HAT is a compact and easy-to-use Wi-Fi HAT for the Raspberry Pi Pico that includes an ESP8266 module, IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi Standard, 3.3 V Operating Voltage, UART Communication interface, and a 40-pin GPIO extension header that can be controlled via AT Command and supports TCP/UDP communication protocol.

Pico Wi-Fi HAT also includes a 1.14-inch display with a resolution of 240 x 135 pixels, 65K RGB colors, and a sharp and vivid exhibiting effect, designed primarily for user engagement via SPI connection by incorporating a GPIO header. The 1.14-inch LCD includes the ST7789 Driver and SPI Interface, decreasing the amount of IO pins required.

It's a simple way to enable Wi-Fi on the Raspberry Pi Pico, making it suitable for a variety of IoT communication projects. It is intended for developers of all skill levels, from the most experienced to those who are just getting started with IoT devices.
