Excellent upgrade from the original Pico
The RP2350 chip offers a noticeable performance boost. The extra SRAM is a game changer for my data logging projects. Setup with MicroPython was seamless.

Solid performer with great connectivity
The USB host capability is a nice addition that the older models lacked. Only wish it had built-in WiFi, but for the price, I can't complain.

Perfect for industrial prototyping
Robust build quality and the Type-C connector is very convenient. The pinout compatibility with existing Pico shields saved me hours of redesign work.

Great board, minor documentation lag
Hardware is fantastic and runs cool even under load. Some of the specific RP2350 features aren't fully documented yet, but the community is filling the gaps quickly.

Best value for learning embedded systems
As a student, the price-to-performance ratio is unbeatable. The ability to switch between C++ and Python makes it versatile for different class assignments.
Q: What is the maximum current draw per GPIO pin?
A: Each GPIO pin can source or sink up to 4mA safely, with a total limit for all pins combined. Please refer to the datasheet for detailed electrical characteristics.
Q: Can I power this board via the VIN pin instead of USB?
A: Absolutely. You can supply power through the VSYS pin (typically 1.8V to 5.5V), which is useful for battery-powered applications.
Q: Does this support the new RISC-V architecture or only ARM?
A: The RP2350 processor on this board features dual-core Arm Cortex-M33 cores. It does not support RISC-V; please check our other listings if you need RISC-V support.
Q: Is this board backwards compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico H headers?
A: Yes, the Waveshare RP2350-Plus maintains the same form factor and pinout as the Raspberry Pi Pico 2, so it works with standard Pico headers and shields.
Q: Is a USB cable included in the package?
A: No, the package includes only the development board. A USB Type-C to Type-A or Type-C cable is required for programming and power but is sold separately.
