In this article we look at one of the RP2040 board offerings from Adafruit. In this case its a much smaller sized board called the Adafruit QT Py RP2040 The QT Py RP2040 adds an extra analog pin compared to the Pico which brings the…
In this article we look at another RP2040 board called the SparkFun Pro Micro, this is a low cost basic RP2040 board with minimal features There are two LEDs on the Pro Micro RP2040. The red LED indicates power and the other is an addressable…
In this article we look at the RGB led which is fitted on the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect The RGB LED (DL3) is a common anode LED that is connected to the Nina W102 module. The LED is off when the digital state is HIGH…
In this article we look at the LSM6DSOX sensor which is fitted on the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect Sensor Information Description The LSM6DSOX is a system-in-package featuring a 3D digital accelerometer and a 3D digital gyroscope boosting performance at 0.55 mA in high-performance mode and…
The next board that we will look at that has an RP2040 microcontroller is one that I have been looking forward to get, the Nano RP2040 Connect from Arduino. The Nano as well as the impressive RP2040 microcontroller also has native Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity…
If you are looking for a display for a project like a counter, timer or a simple digital clock then the 4-Digit 8-Segment Display Module for Raspberry Pi Pico is a low cost option The SNx4HC595 devices contain an 8-bit, serial-in, parallel-out shift register that…
The Raspberry Pi Pico Relay Board from sbcomponents allows your Raspberry Pi Pico to control up to 4 devices with loads up to 240V AC / 7A or 30V DC / 10A. The 4 channels have an opto-isolator, here is what an opto-isolator does An…
In this article we connect a ADXL345 3-axis accelerometer to a Raspberry Pi Pico running Circuitpython Sensor Information The ADXL345 is a small, thin, ultralow power, 3-axis accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to ±16 g. Digital output data is formatted as 16-bit…
In this article we connect a ICM-20948 9-axis MotionTracking device to a Raspberry Pi Pico running Circuitpython Sensor Information The ICM-20948 is the world’s lowest power 9-axis Motion Tracking device that is ideally suited for Smartphones, Tablets, Wearable Sensors, and IoT applications. 1/3 the power…
One of the features that is missing from the Raspberry Pi Pico is network functionality. The Pico Wireless Pack from Pimoroni is one solution to the problem. The Pico Wireless Pack attaches to the back of your Pico and uses an ESP32 chip to let…
