The PicoBoard is not for sale anymore because it's discontinued now. You can have a look for PicoBoards on second hand sellers though.

also if you manage to obtain one test it in here https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/583752/

Also, sb-downloader (look it up) should allow you to download the original file and not the .sb3 file

You can get Pico's at DigiKey for 4 bucks a pop but I'd personally recommend just getting an Arduino depending on what ur doing. they r a bit cheaper and the performance only goes down a bit.

I got mine off Ebay. There is one seller who sold two, one is still available (the other one was bought by me). It costs 35.35€ and shipping to Sweden costs an additional 2.99€ (it is shipped from Germany). Note that before you buy, you must ensure your computer supports Scratch 1.4 or earlier. If you are using an Apple Silicon Mac, there is not even one way to run Scratch 1.4, so don't bother buying a PicoBoard. If you are using an Intel Mac, you must be running one of the following versions: Mac OS X Tiger, Mac OS X Leopard, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Mac OS X/OS X Lion, OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Mavericks, OS X Yosemite, OS X/macOS El Capitan, macOS Sierra, macOS High Sierra or macOS Mojave. I believe it still works with macOS Catalina, macOS Big Sur and macOS Monterey using a workaround. macOS Ventura, macOS Sonoma, macOS Sequoia and macOS Tahoe will definitely not work. For GNU/Linux, you must ensure you are running a 32-bit distro or a 64-bit distro with a 32-bit subsystem. Also, it must be Debian-based or Debian itself (this is because the GNU/Linux version is only available as a .deb file, no .rpm available). Please ask me for more info if you are using GNU/Linux or an Intel Mac.. For Microslop Windows, you need a version later than Windows 98.

The PicoBoard was also supported in Scratch 2, but only in the Web version (The extension shows up, but you would need a browser plugin for it to be recognised). Because of this, really only Scratch 1.0-1.4 work. Also there is no support in Scratch 3, in case you were wondering.

As for what medians said, who by the way is a great person who has also helped me before, the sb-downloader is available here. Make sure the suffix of the file name is .sb, not .sb2.

The blocks for the PicoBoard are in the sensing category, they can also be used with the Lego WeDo 1.0 and, once you know your way around 1.4, also for communication between two Scratch windows or the web or Python or whatever. This is because Scratch 1.x only existed as an offline version, which is why there were things that were more integrated in the system.

Thank you for reading, and if you decide to buy one, have fun with it!
