Raspberry Pi PICO W - Wireless Genuine High Performance Microcontroller RP2040
Set Contains;
1 x Genuine Raspberry Pi PICO W
2 x 20 Pin Headers
1 x 3 Pin Header
1 x Heatsink
1 x 1 Metre Micro USB Cable with Power Indicator Light
The Pico is a low cost, high performance microcontroller board built around the Raspberry Pi RP2040 chip. These genuine Raspberry Pi boards come with required pin headers (single row 20pin x 2 & single row 3pin x1).
The Pico W features the same attributes as the Raspberry Pi Pico and also incorporates an Infineon CYW43439 wireless chip. CYW43439 supports IEEE 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN, and Bluetooth 5.2. (6/30/2022: Only Wireless LAN is supported on the Pico W at the moment, this will be updated as the new features become available)
The Pico W features an on-board 2.4GHz wireless interface (Infineon CYW43439, datasheet) connected via SPI to the RP2040. The antenna is on board and should be kept in free space for best performance – don’t put metal under or close by the antenna.
Three GPIO pins from the CYW43439 are shared with other board functions and can be accessed via the SDK as:
- WL_GPIO2 (Input) VBUS sense. HIGH when VBUS is present
- WL_GPIO1 – (Output) Controls onboard SMPS Power Save pin
- WL_GPIO0 – (Output) Controls user LED
