Description
The Raspberry Pi Pico is a microcontroller board developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Unlike the traditional Raspberry Pi computers, which run Linux, the Pico is based on the RP2040 microcontroller, designed for embedded systems and low-power applications.
Key Features of Raspberry Pi Pico:
- Microcontroller: RP2040 (Raspberry Pi’s first in-house chip)
- CPU: Dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ (133 MHz)
- RAM: 264 KB SRAM
- Flash Storage: 2 MB onboard, expandable via external storage
- I/O Pins:
- 26 GPIO pins (3.3V logic level)
- Multiple PWM outputs
- 3 Analog Inputs (12-bit ADC)
- 2 × SPI, 2 × I2C, 2 × UART
- PIO (Programmable I/O) for custom protocols
- Power: 1.8V–5.5V (can run from USB or batteries)
- USB: Micro-USB (for power and programming)
- Programming Languages: MicroPython, C/C++, CircuitPython
- Low Power Modes: Ideal for battery-powered applications
Common Uses:
- IoT projects
- Robotics and automation
- Sensor monitoring
- Custom embedded systems
- Learning microcontroller programming
