The Raspberry Pi Pico

pico

We will be working with the Raspberry Pi Pico. It is a low-cost, high-performance microcontroller board with flexible digital interfaces. Key features include:

  • RP2040 microcontroller chip designed by Raspberry Pi in the United Kingdom

  • Dual-core Arm Cortex M0+ processor, flexible clock running up to 133 MHz

  • 264kB of SRAM, and 2MB of on-board flash memory

  • USB 1.1 with device and host support

  • Low-power sleep and dormant modes

  • Drag-and-drop programming using mass storage over USB

  • 26 multi-function GPIO pins

  • 2 SPI, 2 I2C, 2 UART, 3 12-bit ADC, 16 controllable PWM channels

  • Accurate clock and timer on-chip

  • Temperature sensor

  • Accelerated floating-point libraries on-chip

  • 8 Programmable I/O (PIO) state machines for custom peripheral support
