A new chip means a new Feather, and the Raspberry Pi RP2040 is no exception. When we saw this chip we thought "this chip is going to be awesome when we give it the Feather Treatment" and so we did! This Feather features the RP2040, and all niceties you know and love about Feather Measures 2.0" x 0.9" x 0.28" (50.8mm x 22.8mm x 7mm) without headers soldered in. Light...

What a cutie pie! Or is it... a QT Py? This diminutive dev board comes with one of our new favorite chip, the RP2040. It's been made famous in the new Raspberry Pi Pico and our Feather RP2040 and ItsyBitsy RP2040, but what if we wanted something really smol? A new chip means a new QT Py, and the Raspberry Pi RP2040 is no exception. When we saw this chip we thought...

A wild Kee Boar appears! It’s a shiny KB2040! An Arduino Pro Micro-shaped board for Keebs with RP2040. (#keeblife 4 evah) A lot of folks like using Adafruit parts for their Keeb builds – but with the ItsyBitsy not being pin-compatible with the Pro Micro pinout, it really wasn't very easy without some sort of adapter plate. Now we’re seeing lots of...

This handy GPIO reference card is the perfect pocket-friendly go-to resource for navigating your way around the Raspberry Pi Pico. We designed a full-color pin-out diagram and printed it on card-stock so you can parse your power from your PWM and separate your SPI from your Serial UART. All the pin uses are labeled for quick reference. On the back we have a quick...

It's half USB Key, half Adafruit QT Py, and a lotta RP2040...it's Trinkey QT2040, the circuit board with an RP2040 heart and Stemma QT legs. Folks are loving the QT Py 2040 we made, but maybe you want something plug-and-play. So we thought, hey what if we made something like that plugs right into your computer's USB port? And this is what we came up with! The PCB is...

A new chip means a new ItsyBitsy, and the Raspberry Pi RP2040 is no exception. When we saw this chip we thought "this chip is going to be awesome when we give it the ItsyBitsy teensy-weensy Treatment" and so we did! This Itsy' features the RP2040, and all niceties you know and love about the ItsyBitsy family What's smaller than a Feather but larger than a Trinket?...

Cytron's Maker Pi Pico Base incorporates the most wanted Reset button for your Raspberry Pi Pico and gives you access to all GPIO pins on two 20-pin headers, with clear labels. Each GPIO is paired with an LED indicator for convenient code testing and troubleshooting. The bottom of the board even comes with a comprehensive pinout diagram showing the function of each...

Cytron's Maker Pi RP2040 features the new Raspberry Pi RP2040 chip embedded on a robot controller board. The board comes with a dual-channel DC motor driver, 4 servo motor ports, and 7 Grove I/O connectors. Now you can build your new robot friend while simultaneously trying out the new RP2040 chip! The onboard DC motor driver can control 2 x brushed DC motors or 1 x...

Microcontrollers, like RP2040 at the heart of Raspberry Pi Pico, are computers stripped back to their base essentials. You don't use monitors or keyboards, but program them to take their input from, and send their output to the input/output pins. Using these programmable connections, you can light lights, make noises, send text to screens, and much more. In Get...

This book will teach you Python programming and some basic electronics without assuming any prior knowledge of either subject. The book initially focuses on Python programming, building up a Morse Code example using the Raspberry Pi Pico's built-in LED. Once you have leveled up on the basics of coding the Pico, the book will introduce electronics, showing you how to...

This low-cost and simple-to-use electronics kit will teach you electronics and coding with Simon Monk's Programming the Pico: Learn Coding & Electronics with the Pico. Build ten great projects including a touch switch, a thermometer, a light meter, and a lie detector. The kit includes: custom half-size breadboard with Pico pin names. jumper wires. header pins....

The Raspberry Pi foundation changed single-board computing when they released the Raspberry Pi computer, now they've done the same for microcontrollers with the release of the powerful new chip, the Raspberry Pi RP2040. We've used this chip in a bunch of breakouts and dev boards, but perhaps you want to use it too? Now these are available in cut tape strips of 10 for...
