Raspberry Pi Pico Microcontroller – Dual-Core Arm Cortex-M0 133Mhz

DescriptionRaspberry Pi Pico, The new flexible $4 microcontroller board from Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi Pico is a tiny, fast, and versatile board built using RP2040.RP2040 Microcontroller ChipDesigned by Raspberry Pi, RP2040 features a dual-core Arm Cortex-M0 processor with 264KB internal RAM and support for up to 16MB of off-chip Flash. A wide range of flexible I/O options includes I2C, SPI, and — uniquely — Programmable I/O (PIO). These support endless possible applications for this small and affordable package. The All New Raspberry Pi PicoFrom controlling appliances to operating a light display, Raspberry Pi Pico puts the technology that underpins countless everyday operations into your hands.Programmable in C and MicroPython, Pico is adaptable to a vast range of applications and skill levels, and getting started is as easy as dragging and dropping a file.More experienced users can take advantage of Raspberry Pi Pico’s rich peripheral set, including SPI, I2C, and eight Programmable I/O (PIO) state machines for custom peripheral support. What is a Microcontroller?Raspberry Pi Pico Features and Specifications:Dual-core Arm Cortex-M0 @ 133MHz264KB (remember kilobytes?) of on-chip RAMSupport for up to 16MB of off-chip Flash memory via dedicated QSPI busDMA controllerInterpolator and integer divider peripherals30 GPIO pins, 4 of which can be used as analogue inputs2 × UARTs, 2 × SPI controllers, and 2 × I2C controllers16 × PWM channels1 × USB 1.1 controller and PHY, with host and device support8 × Raspberry Pi Programmable I/O (PIO) state machinesUSB mass-storage boot mode with UF2 support, for drag-and-drop programming.Recommended Raspberry Pi Pico Power Supply:Pico uses an on-board buck-boost SMPS which is able to generate the required 3.3 volts (to power RP2040 and external circuitry) from a wide range of input voltages (~1.8 to 5.5V). This allows significant flexibility in powering the unit from various sources such as a single Lithium-Ion cell, or 3 AA cells in series. Battery chargers can also be very easily integrated with the Pico powerchain.So you can use the following power suppliesRaspberry Pi Official Universal microUSB Power SupplyERD 2.4 Amp USB Power DockERD 3Amps USB Power DockERD microUSB Data CableRaspberry Pi Pico Pinout:Learn More about Raspberry Pi PicoDocumentationRaspberry Pi Pico DatasheetAn RP2040-based microcontroller boardRP2040 DatasheetA microcontroller by Raspberry PiHardware design with RP2040Using RP2040 microcontrollers to build boards and productsGetting started with Raspberry Pi PicoC/C development with Raspberry Pi Pico and other RP2040-based microcontroller boardsPico C/C SDKLibraries and tools for C/C development on RP2040 microcontrollersPico Python SDKA MicroPython environment for RP2040 microcontrollersThe API level Doxygen documentation for the Raspberry Pi Pico C/C SDK is available as a micro-siteResources and Learning:Thonny Python IDEGetting started with Raspberry Pi PicoGetting Started with Pico on Windows with Thonny PythonProduct Information Portal – Get all Raspberry Pi Products Compliance Approvals, Certificates, Schematics, Mechanical drawings at one place.All Raspberry Pi Products DatasheetsAll Raspberry Pi Products Complete Documentation on Hardware, Software, Configurations, Getting Started and more.Some Cool Projects Done with Pico:Pi Pico Soil Moisture IndicatorA Game of space invadersArduino Support for Raspberry Pi PicoPackage Includes:1 x Raspberry Pi Pico
