Perfect for compact IoT projects
The detachable USB interface is a game changer. It makes the board incredibly small once you remove the adapter, perfect for embedding in tight spaces. The RP2040 chip performs flawlessly with MicroPython.

Bulk buy success
Bought 20 of these for our workshop. All units were functional and consistent. The detachable USB saves us money on cables since students can share the adapters.

Great value, minor soldering needed
Excellent board for the price. Note that if you want to use it without the USB dongle permanently, you might want to solder headers to the debug pins. Otherwise, it works right out of the box.

Reliable and tiny
I've used several Pico clones, but the Waveshare build quality stands out. The gold plating on the contacts looks durable, and the board boots up instantly every time.

Good for prototyping industrial sensors
Using this for a sensor node prototype. The voltage range is sufficient for our battery setup. Would give 5 stars if it came with pre-soldered headers, but the unsoldered version allows more flexibility.

Easy to get started
As a beginner, I found this very easy to set up. The drag-and-drop programming mode works perfectly on Windows and Mac. The documentation linked on the wiki was helpful too.
Q: Is the USB adapter compatible with USB-C to USB-C cables?
A: The detachable interface included is a Micro-B male to USB-A female adapter. To use USB-C to USB-C, you would need a separate USB-A to USB-C cable or adapter.
Q: Does this board come with headers pre-soldered?
A: No, this board typically ships without headers soldered to allow for maximum flexibility in mounting and case design. You will need to solder your own headers if required.
Q: Does this support Bluetooth connectivity?
A: The RP2040 chip itself does not have built-in Bluetooth. However, you can easily add Bluetooth functionality by connecting an external module like the HC-05 or ESP-01 via UART or SPI.
Q: What is the maximum current draw for the GPIO pins?
A: Each GPIO pin can source or sink up to 4mA safely, with an absolute maximum of 12mA. The total current for all GPIOs combined should not exceed 50mA.
Q: Can I power this board directly with a 5V battery?
A: Yes, you can supply 5V to the VBUS pin when the USB interface is detached, or to the VSYS pin. The onboard regulator handles the conversion to 3.3V safely.
