Would any headphone jack work on this board? If not, what audio cable should I be looking for?

I notice this product has links to the non wifi pico board.
I know there are some minor differences with the W and non W pins.
Will the demo software work with a Pico W?

Hi there @David191372,

This should work absolutely fine with the Pico W. All the GPIO pins, which are the ones that connect to the Demo Base, are identical between the two versions. It’s only the positioning of the debug pins that are different, as seen below.

That’s a great answer. That picture is worth at least 1000 words :slight_smile:
I already have the parts, now I need to make them do something fancy!
