Product Details
Get ready to solder your own Pico! This kit includes a Pico board, two 20 - pin headers, and a 3 - pin header. Similar to a well - known tech company, Raspberry Pi developed its custom ARM silicon, the RP2040. Subscribe to Little Bird Guides and get a Raspberry Pi Pico for free. The Raspberry Pi Pico is a low - cost yet flexible development platform for the RP2040. Key features include an RP2040 microcontroller with 2MByte Flash, a Micro - USB B port for power, data, and reprogramming. It has a 40 - pin 21x51 'DIP' style 1mm thick PCB with 0.1' through - hole pins and edge castellations. It exposes 26 multi - function 3.3V GPIO, 23 are digital - only and 3 are ADC capable, and can be surface - mounted. There's also a 3 - pin ARM Serial Wire Debug port, a simple and flexible power supply architecture with multiple power options. It comes with a comprehensive SDK, software examples, and documentation. The RP2040 microcontroller has dual - core cortex M0+ at up to 133MHz, 264K multi - bank high - performance SRAM, external Quad - SPI Flash with XIP, and various digital peripherals.
Using this Pico kit is easy. First, solder the loose headers onto the Pico board. Connect the Micro - USB B port to a power source or your computer for data transfer and reprogramming. You can use the GPIO pins to connect different components for your projects. When using the RP2040, keep in mind that the Pico IO voltage is fixed at 3.3V. For power, you have options like micro - USB, external supplies, or batteries. Make sure to handle the board gently to avoid damaging the components. To maintain the kit, keep it in a dry and clean place. If you're not using it for a long time, disconnect the power source. And don't forget to refer to the provided SDK, software examples, and documentation for more detailed programming and usage instructions.
