• Raspberry Pi Pico 2: Released a few months ago with the new RP2350 chip, lacking wireless connectivity like Pico W. Pimoroni developed an unofficial alternative, the Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 W.
• Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 W: Powered by Raspberry Pi RP2350B dual-core Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller, with 16MB QSPI flash, 8MB PSRAM, wireless connectivity (2.4 GHz WiFi and Bluetooth using Raspberry Pi RM2 module), USB Type-C port, and various expansion options like 2x 20-pin headers, Qwiic/STEMMA QT connector, and JST-SH connector.
• Pimoroni Explorer board: Built around Raspberry Pi RP2350B chip, with a 2.8-inch LCD screen, speaker connector, and multiple I/O options.
• RP2350 Stamp XL: Solder party's RP2350 stamp module with Raspberry Pi RP2350A or RP2350B microcontroller.
• Jumperless V5 programmable breadboard: With Raspberry Pi RP2350B and built-in power supply.
• Bus Pirate 6: Hardware debugging tools using Raspberry Pi RP2350A and RP2350B microcontrollers.
• Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 W specifications: Details of SoC (Raspberry Pi RP2350B MCU with dual-core Arm Cortex-M33 and 32-bit Hazard3 RISC-V), memory (520KB SRAM, 8kB OTP storage), storage (16MB QSPI flash), wireless module (Raspberry Pi RM2), USB (Type-C), expansion options, and misc features like reset and boot button.
• Pinout diagram: Shows the various pins and their functions.
• Highlight: The Raspberry Pi RM2 module resembles an ESP32 package and uses the same Infineon CYW43439 chip as Pico W for easy online connectivity and Bluetooth support. It supports MicroPython, CircuitPython, C, and C++.
• Availability and accessories: Available at Pimoroni's official store for $18.48. Pimoroni also offers various accessories.
