Raspberry Pi Pico 2 H

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 H Description

The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 H is the new microcontroller board from Raspberry Pi . It's built on the RP2350, a secure, high-performance microcontroller. The "H" stands for header: on this version, the pins are already soldered. This allows you to get started on your project right away without any soldering.

With a higher clock speed and twice the memory, the Pico 2 is significantly faster than its predecessor. The board features powerful Arm cores and optional RISC-V cores. However, it remains compatible with previous Pico models, so you can continue using your old code and hardware.

The Pico 2 H is ideal for makers, students, and professionals. Program the board in C, C++, or Python. The extensive documentation will help you get started quickly. Whether you're building an IoT project, creating a robot, or learning electronics, the Pico 2 H offers everything you need.

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 H Features

Dual-core processor with choice: The RP2350 has two Arm Cortex-M33 cores running at 150MHz. You can also opt for two open-hardware Hazard3 RISC-V cores, allowing you to experiment with different architectures.

Ample memory for complex projects: The board has 520KB of on-chip SRAM, twice as much as the first Pico. This allows you to run larger programs and store more data.

Pre-soldered headers for immediate use: The 40 GPIO pins are already soldered. You can immediately connect breadboards, sensors, and other hardware. This saves time and makes the board suitable for beginners.

Comprehensive security for professional applications: The RP2350 features Arm TrustZone security, signed boot, and hardware encryption. These features are fully documented, allowing you to use the board with confidence in commercial products.

Versatile interfaces for every project: The board features 2 UART, 2 SPI, 2 I2C, 24 PWM channels, 3 ADC channels, and USB 1.1. There are also 12 PIO state machines for custom protocols. This allows you to connect almost any sensor or module.

Compatible with Pico 1 hardware and software: All Pico 1 code and hardware also works on Pico 2. You don't need to buy new shields or breakouts. Upgrading existing projects is easy.

Wide voltage range for flexible power supply: The board operates at 1.8V to 5.5V. Connect it via USB or use an external power supply. This makes it suitable for battery projects and embedded systems.

Drag-and-drop programming without tools: Connect the Pico 2 H via USB and drag your program onto the board. No programmer or special software required. Ideal for rapid prototyping and testing.
