Wireless-enabled version of the Pico 2
Raspberry Pi released its Pico 2 W
With the Pico 2 W Raspberry Pi released the wireless-enabled version of its Pico 2. It is built around the RP2350 microcontroller and is supposed to enable various IoT projects. The Pico 2 W is priced at 7 US-Dollars.
Raspberry Pi released its »Pico 2 W«, the wireless-enabled variant the Pico 2. Built around the new RP2350 microcontroller, featuring the wireless modem from the original Pico W, and priced at 7 US-Dollars, it can be the centerpiece for connected Internet of Things projects.
The RP2350, which debuted this summer, offers faster cores, more memory, floating point support, on-chip OTP and optimised power consumption compared to its predecessor as well as a rich security model built around Arm’s TrustZone for Cortex-M. Many of the projects and products that people build on top of Raspberry Pi platforms answer to the general description Internet of Things. They combine local compute, storage, and interfacing to the real world with connectivity back to the cloud.
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W brings all the power of RP2350 to these IoT projects. The on-board CYW43439 modem from Infineon provides 2.4GHz 802.11n wireless LAN and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, and is supported by C and MicroPython libraries. Enthusiasts benefit from the breadboard-friendly Pico form factor, while the upcoming RM2 radio module provides a route to scale for professional products which have been prototyped on the platform.
Raspberry Pi also announced that there will be more product news for the Pico 2 series in early 2025.
