Product Overview
This listing covers the Raspberry Pi Pico family of low-cost microcontroller boards. Choose from Raspberry Pi Pico, Pico H, Pico 2 and Pico 2 W.
All four share the same compact footprint and pinout, are programmed in MicroPython or C/C++, and load code by simple drag-and-drop over USB.
Key Features
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Pico — RP2040 | The original dual-core Cortex-M0+ board |
| Pico H — RP2040 with headers | Pre-soldered headers and a debug connector |
| Pico 2 — RP2350 | Faster cores, more memory, security features |
| Pico 2 W — RP2350 + wireless | Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for connected projects |
| Drag-and-drop programming | Easy to start with MicroPython |
| Same footprint and pinout | Swap boards without redesigning |
