Perfect for learning embedded systems
Bought this for my university robotics club. The dual-core performance handles motor control and sensor reading simultaneously without lag. Great value for money.

Great board, minor pinout confusion
The hardware is fantastic and very fast. Just be careful if you are migrating code from the original Pico as there are slight differences in the pinout. Once sorted, it runs flawlessly.

Love the free printed materials
It's rare to get physical documentation these days. The printed intro materials helped me set up MicroPython in minutes. The board itself is incredibly responsive.

Massive upgrade from the original Pico
The RP2350 chip is a beast compared to the older RP2040. The extra speed and security features make this perfect for my IoT projects. The included printed guide was a nice touch for getting started quickly.

Solid performer
Very happy with the purchase. The USB-C connection is sturdy, and the compiler support for C++ is excellent. Would give 5 stars if it had WiFi built-in, but I knew that going in.

Robust for industrial prototyping
We are using these for initial prototypes of our control units. The voltage range is flexible, and the build quality feels solid enough for harsh environments during testing phases.
Q: Can I program this using Arduino IDE?
A: Absolutely. The RP2350 chip is supported by the Arduino IDE via the Raspberry Pi Pico board package. You can write C++ sketches just like on other Arduino boards.
Q: Are the printed materials available in languages other than English?
A: Currently, the free introductory printed materials included with this specific bundle are in English. Digital documentation is available in multiple languages on the official Raspberry Pi website.
Q: Does the '2W' version differ from the standard Pico 2?
A: The 'W' designation typically indicates onboard wireless capabilities. However, please verify the specific SKU, as the base RP2350 model described here focuses on processing power without integrated Wi-Fi/Bluetooth unless specified.
Q: Is this board compatible with existing Pico HATs?
A: Yes, the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 maintains the same form factor and most GPIO assignments, making it compatible with the majority of existing Pico HATs and accessories.
Q: What voltage should I use for the VSYS pin?
A: You can supply between 1.8V and 5.5V to the VSYS pin. If powering via the USB port, the board regulates this automatically.
