Hey hey all,

I think i know the answer but seeing as cant find direct answer. Is it possible to use the sensor board with the most recent pico ? I think the answer is no.

TL;DR - doing a hat with pixel blaze

Other options

- dont use pico ( would be nice to save a bit of space hence question )
- use pico in hat, then normal pixelblaze + sensor board close by and sync them

Any other neat solutions like a different sound board i can use.

Useful info i will have 3v and 5v in the hat as just going to use something like this for power

Hey! On the [GPIO docs page](https://electromage.com/docs/GPIO) (should probably be on the Sensor Board page as well), it says:

“The Pico’s underside copper pads labeled R, 3 and G (RX, 3.3 V, and Ground) can be connected to the Pixelblaze Sensor Board“

New Pico (with 6-axis) V3 and sensor board…I’ve done it and it definitely works!
