With the awesome power of the Raspberry Pi Pico and the great, hobbyist-friendly price tag that comes along with it, it’s not too surprising to see Makers take full advantage and create all kinds of fun wearable tech’ projects and other low-power applications like smart accessories. However, while the full-sized Raspberry Pi Boards have loads of cool expansion boards for Makers to enhance the functionality of their Pi projects, the Pi Pico is still developing the ecosystem to back it up, and that’s why we are delighted to see that cool Pi Pico expansion boards, or PicoHATs, are finally coming to the market in a big way, with a good number of options available for Pico Makers, and modules like this LED 4x8 Segment Display Module for Raspberry Pi Pico being fantastic additions to a growing and expanding ecosystem of growing and expanding functionality.

These 4x8-Segment PicoHATs are relatively simple, but are essentially broken out LED Displays that have a female Pico Header on one side, so that they can just plug directly onto a Raspberry Pi Pico, and immediately start adding more functionality (and more fun!) to pretty much any project you can imagine. It utilises a convenient SPI interfacing style and has nice Red LEDs to brighten up the segments, and while being relatively standard in terms of Segment Displays, is quite a fantastic addition to the PicoHATs Range that is versatile and ready to offer great benefits for Pico Makers. With a low cost and simple design, this 4x8-Segment PicoHAT is perfect for building wearable tech’ that can display step counts, heart rates or other variables, but can also be used for all kinds of other projects from Tweet Highlight Bracelets to portable Stock or Crypto Price Trackers. However you want to use this little Display Module though, it’s ready to offer clear and easy to read visual data for whatever purpose you code it for, and if you don’t need any sort of fancy display or high quality graphics, this cost-effective display is the perfect companion for such a cost-effective microcontroller.

Please Note: When looking at the side of this board opposite to the screw-in terminals, you will notice a small “USB” label on one end. Make sure to plug your Pi Pico in so that the USB Port on the Pico is on the same end as the USB label on the expansion board. This will ensure safe operations and eliminate any potential for damaging either board.

LED 4x8 Segment Display Module for Raspberry Pi Pico - SPI, Red

When it comes to producing unique electronics components and modules, there are very few brands that can provide the quality that Waveshare can. Based in the Futian District in Shenzhen, China, Waveshare are experts in developing electronics to a high standard of quality, which have been thoroughly tested to work seamlessly with corresponding development platforms and systems – such as the E-Ink HATs for Raspberry Pi’s.


What we love most about Waveshare is how they are dedicated to providing quality products, and have moved away from the typical “Made in China” stigma – cheap products with cheap parts and components. Instead, Waveshare understand the value of supplying quality products and building sustainable relationships with international resellers and distributors. They know that consistent quality will result in consistent business, and as such they always ensure strict quality control for each and every product that comes out of the manufacturing plant.


We are always excited to peruse through their vast catalogue of exciting new products to find unique modules, components or even entire development boards that are designed with quality in mind. Because we know that every cent that we spend with Waveshare will be well-spent, with each product that order adding real value to our own catalogue of products.
