Pico to Pi HAT X Converter

Pico to Pi HAT X Converter — Adafruit — 6249

Adapter board that maps Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040) or Pico-pin-compatible boards into the Raspberry Pi Zero 2x20 GPIO form factor. Enables use of standard Pi HATs with Pico-class boards. No active circuitry; passive pin remapping only.
