The Raspberry Pi Foundation is finally designing a microcontroller with its own chip. Here's how you can use it for your projects and everything you need to know about its features and specs.

The great thing about the Pico platform is that its main controller chip, the RP2040, is available as a separate component.

Raspberry Pi Pico is the "low-cost breakout board for RP2040" according to Raspberry Pi. This device pairs the chip with 2MB flash memory and 1.8-5.5V power supply chip input support.

Surprise from the Raspi developers: The RP2350 chip of the Pico 2 is not only more powerful than the RP2040, but also has alternatively usable RISC-V cores.
