# PiCowBell Proto Brick Plates
## Overview
https://youtu.be/SZz8BW8twTA
You can develop Raspberry Pi Pico W projects with Adafruit’s PiCowBell Proto Boards.
The PiCowBell Doubler features a STEMMA QT I2C port, a reset button, socket headers and Lipo battery charging.
It’s also got an on/off switch, extra ground and voltage pins and optional support for alkaline batteries if you don’t want Lipo rechargeables.
## LEGO Compatible Plate
We designed and 3D printed LEGO compatible mounting plates for prototyping your projects with bricks and plates.
Just snap the proto board onto the built-in standoffs and slide a LiPo battery into the protective sleeve to get started.
We think it’s a nice and easy way to add extra boards like the PiCowBell DVI board for outputting to an HDMI display.
