Solid for prototyping industrial controls
We used these for rapid prototyping of a sensor array. The voltage range is flexible, and the stability is good. Would give 5 stars if it had built-in WiFi, but for the price point, it's hard to complain.

Best value in microcontrollers
I have used Arduino and ESP32 boards for years, but the Pico 2 offers a unique balance of power and ease of use. The PIO state machines allow for very precise timing control which is essential for my robotics projects.

Learning curve is gentle
As someone new to hardware programming, I found the MicroPython support fantastic. You can write code in a familiar language and see immediate results on the LEDs and sensors. A wonderful learning tool.

Perfect for beginners and pros alike
The RP2040 chip is incredibly powerful for the price. Setting up MicroPython was seamless, and the documentation provided by the community made my first project a breeze. Highly recommended for anyone getting into embedded systems.

Great board, minor soldering needed
Excellent performance and dual-core processing is a game changer. Note that the headers are not pre-soldered on some batches, so be prepared to do a little work if you want to use it with a breadboard immediately.

Stocked our entire lab with these
Bought twenty of these for our makerspace. They are robust, handle student mistakes well, and the large community support means students can always find help online. Excellent educational resource.
Q: Does this board come with headers pre-soldered?
A: This specific kit usually includes the board with unsoldered header pins to allow for flexible mounting options. You will need to solder them yourself if you wish to use it on a breadboard.
Q: Is this compatible with the original Pico shields?
A: Yes, the form factor and pinout are identical to the original Raspberry Pi Pico, so most existing shields and accessories designed for the Pico will work with the Pico 2.
Q: What is the maximum current draw per GPIO pin?
A: Each GPIO pin can safely source or sink up to 4mA. The total current drawn from all GPIO pins combined should not exceed 50mA to ensure stable operation.
Q: Can I power this board directly from a 3.7V LiPo battery?
A: Yes, the Pico 2 supports an input voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V on the VSYS pin, making it perfectly compatible with single-cell LiPo batteries without needing an external regulator.
Q: How do I install MicroPython on this device?
A: Simply hold down the BOOTSEL button while connecting the board to your computer via USB. It will appear as a mass storage drive. Drag and drop the latest .uf2 firmware file onto the drive, and it will automatically reboot into MicroPython.
