Raspberry Pi Pico is the low cost and smallest size development board from Raspberry Pi Foundation ever. On the technical side, it is equipped with RP2040 Microcontroller chip developed by Raspberry Pi Foundation itself. RP2040 is their first dual-core ARM Cortex M0+ processor-based latest small-sized, budget-friendly microcontroller.

The RP2040 is supported with both C/C++ and micro-python, meaning that if you’re a beginner and want to learn any of these languages, the Raspberry Pico would be the best product-option to start with.

Features:

RP2040 microcontroller chip designed by Raspberry Pi
Dual-core Arm Cortex M0+ processor, the flexible clock running up to 133 MHz
264KB of SRAM, and 2MB of onboard Flash memory
The castellated module allows soldering directly to carrier boards
USB 1.1 with device and host support
Low-power sleep and dormant modes
Drag-and-drop programming using mass storage over USB
26 × multi-function GPIO pins
2 × SPI, 2 × I2C, 2 × UART, 3 × 12-bit ADC, 16 × controllable PWM channels
Accurate clock and timer on-chip
Onboard temperature sensor
Accelerated floating-point libraries on-chip
8 × Programmable I/O (PIO) state machines for custom peripheral support
