What we lose in GPIO pins we gain in onboard LiPo / Li-Ion battery charging, great pin labeling and Stemma QT, Adafruit’s connector of choice for components that connect using I2C. Designed to take advantage of an expansive range of add-ons called “FeatherWings”, the Feather RP2040 has fewer pins than a typical Raspberry Pi Pico, but the choice of pins is curated to give us the best that the RP2040 can offer. The company has its own ecosystem of form factors and its largest, the Feather, is where we saw their first RP2040 system. The simplicity of these connections belies the choice of sensors and components offered.īest Raspberry Pi RP2040 Boards You Can Buy TodayĪdafruit, partners in the RP2040 project have released many great RP2040 boards in a short space of time. The Pico doesn’t come with any of these, but many third-party boards do.

Before that the RP2040 required add on boards such as Adafruit’s Airlift board or Pimoroni’s Pico Wireless Pack. Do you need wireless? With the introduction of the Pico W, we now have a low cost and easy to use means to get our projects online.

What size / pins do you need? Smaller RP2040 boards like Pimoroni's Tiny RP2040, SparkFun's Pro Micro RP2040 and Adafruit's QT Py RP2040 have fewer than the standard 40 pins, but can fit in smaller projects.
