You’ve seen the portable Winamp player, now check out the new Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W microcontroller board, which builds upon its predecessor and adds 2.4GHz 802.11n wireless LAN as well as Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity.
It’s also supported by C and MicroPython libraries, all the while combining local compute, storage, as well as interfacing to the real world with connectivity back to the cloud. This board is built around Raspberry Pi’s RP2350 that provides faster cores, more memory, floating point support, on-chip OTP, optimized power consumption, and a robust security model built around Arm’s TrustZone for Cortex-M. Available now here, priced at $7 USD.
- Includes Raspberry Pi 4 4GB Model B with 1.5GHz 64-bit quad-core CPU (4GB RAM)
- Includes Pre-Loaded 32GB EVO+ Micro SD Card (Class 10), USB MicroSD Card Reader
- CanaKit Premium High-Gloss Raspberry Pi 4 Case with Integrated Fan Mount, CanaKit Low Noise Bearing System Fan
Enthusiasts benefit from the breadboard-friendly Pico form factor, while our upcoming RM2 radio module (already in use on Pimoroni’s Pico Plus 2 W) provides a route to scale for professional products which have been prototyped on the platform,” said Eben Upton, Raspberry Pi CEO.
