I wonder how bad an idea it is to mount a raspi pico at a 90-degree angle to a PCB

Follow

@Extelec what's the basic BOM material cost on that before I wonder about a kit...

@falken I will send you a PCB FOC if you cover postage (I've never made it into a kit. ), other than that you only need a handful of usb connectors, there is a hub built into the base pcb, but I'd suggest using it only to power the pico's due to multiple USB issues on most common OS's.

9 Pi pico's(1's) a display ~£7, a hand full of buttons.

@Extelec very generous of you, but I'm not doing enough electronics to have the random extra bits to hand
And I'd hate it to go to waste when I eventually bought a slightly incompatible screen or something...
If I was at that end of the country I would certainly come see it!
