DiP-Pi WiFi Master for Raspberry Pi Pico
The DiP-Pi WiFi Master is an advanced WiFi connectivity add-on board for the Raspberry Pi Pico offering ESP8266 WiFi connectivity, MicroSD card slot, sensor interfaces, a reset button and more!
It’s a superb option for a Raspberry Pi Pico IoT project with the onboard storage and sensor interfaces providing an excellent foundation for datalogger, plant monitoring and other similar project types! DiP-Pi WiFi Master – Dual In-line Package WiFi for your Pico!
There are currently two other versions of the DiP-Pi available in the range – the DiP-Pi PIoT and the DiP-Pi Power Master. The quick comparison table below explains the headline feature differences:
| Key Feature | PIoT | Power Master | WiFi Master |
| 6-18V Power Input (EPR) | Yes | Yes | – |
| Battery Power/Charging | Yes | Yes | – |
| Onboard ESP8266 WiFi | Yes | – | Yes |
| MicroSD Slot | Yes | – | Yes |
| 1-wire Interface | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| DHT22/21 Interface | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Humidity/Temp Sensor Interface | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Note: Raspberry Pi Pico not included. You’ll need a Pico with male headers soldered to it. You can grab a Pico here and Pico male headers here, or buy a Pico with pre-soldered headers.

Onboard WiFi (ESP8266)
The DiP-Pi WiFi Master is also equipped with a WiFi ESP8266 module with an embedded antenna. This feature opens a wide range of IoT applications for your projects and applications. Provided examples include a simple web server setup. Interaction with WiFi is performed via AT commands.
MicroSD Card Socket
A microSD card slot is provided for storing your application’s data or even for executable software for your Pico! The SD is managed via the Raspberry Pi recommended SPI interface.
1-Wire and Sensor Interfaces
In addition to all of the above features, the DiP-Pi WiFi Master is also equipped with an embedded 1-wire interface (pads), DHT11/22 sensor interface (pads). The 1-wire interface includes ESD protection and 4K7 resistor, and the DHT interface includes a 10k resistor.
The combination of WiFi connectivity and sensor interfaces make the DiP-Pi WiFi Master ideal for IoT applications such as data loggers, plant monitoring and many similar projects!
Reset Button
The DiP-Pi WiFi Master includes an embedded reset button for the Pico, alongside an on/off power slide switch.
MicroPython and C/C++ Examples
DiP-Pi WiFi Master is supported with plenty of ready to use examples written in Micro Python or C/C++.
