Description
The Raspberry Pi Pico 2W with pre-soldered header is an updated version of the popular RP2040-based wireless microcontroller board, now based on the powerful RP2350 microcontroller. It features dual Arm Cortex-M33 or dual RISC-V Hazard3 processors running at 150MHz, 520KB on-chip SRAM, 4MB on-board QSPI flash memory, and 26 multi-purpose GPIO pins including 4 ADC channels.
This version comes ready to plug into a breadboard or socket with pre-soldered headers and includes a 3-pin debug connector. It adds WiFi and Bluetooth Low Energy wireless networking via an onboard Infineon CYW43439 single-band 2.4GHz 802.11n WiFi chip with support for WPA3 and Soft Access Point mode (up to 4 clients).
Wireless interface features:
- 802.11n single-band 2.4GHz WiFi with WPA3 and Soft AP support
- Bluetooth Low Energy and Bluetooth Classic (note: not all programming methods support Bluetooth)
- SPI connection to RP2350 microcontroller with micropython, circuitpython, and Arduino drivers available
Note that some wireless pins share GPIO lines with other functions, so care must be taken when using them for other purposes. For optimal wireless performance, keep the antenna clear of metal objects.
The RP2350 microcontroller offers a secure architecture with Arm TrustZone, signed boot, hardware random number generator, SHA-256 acceleration, and other advanced features, making the Pico 2W suitable for professional product development.
Programmable in C/C++, CircuitPython, and MicroPython, the Raspberry Pi Pico 2W is an excellent high-performance microcontroller board with rich peripherals and wireless connectivity.
