Raspberry Pi Pico & Pico W

The RP2040 boards run in your browser with a faithful dual-core Cortex-M0+ emulation.

Board Highlights
Raspberry Pi Pico The standard RP2040 board, 26 GPIO
Raspberry Pi Pico W Same board with the WiFi module footprint

Languages: MicroPython (the Pico’s native habitat) and Arduino C++ (the earlephilhower core).

  • GPIO, PWM, ADC, I2C, SPI, UART — and PIO, the RP2040’s signature programmable I/O blocks, which is what NeoPixel and quirky-protocol examples rely on.
  • MicroPython’s REPL over the serial monitor.
  • Flashing a real Pico from the browser: the board goes into BOOTSEL and the dialog writes the .uf2 over WebUSB, or you download the file and drop it on the drive. See web flash.

The Badger 2350 (Pimoroni’s RP2350 e-paper badge) is a Pro board — it boots the complete BadgeOS factory firmware, e-paper and all.
