Raspberry Pi Pico

The new flexible microcontroller board from Raspberry Pi.


Welcome to your Raspberry Pi Pico, a microcontroller board built on silicon designed here at Raspberry Pi.

Whether you choose to use our C/C++ SDK, or the official MicroPython port, everything you need to get started is here. You’ll also find links to the technical documentation for both the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller board and our RP2040 microcontroller chip.

RP2040


Designed by Raspberry Pi, RP2040 features a dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ processor with 264KB internal RAM and support for up to 16MB of off-chip Flash. A wide range of flexible I/O options includes I2C, SPI, and — uniquely — Programmable I/O (PIO). These support endless possible applications for this small and affordable package.

For beginners, for experts



From controlling appliances to operating a light display, Raspberry Pi Pico puts the technology that underpins countless everyday operations into your hands.

Programmable in C and MicroPython, Pico is adaptable to a vast range of applications and skill levels, and getting started is as easy as dragging and dropping a file.

More experienced users can take advantage of Raspberry Pi Pico’s rich peripheral set, including SPI, I2C, and eight Programmable I/O (PIO) state machines for custom peripheral support.

Utilities


What is on your Pico?

If you have forgotten what has been programmed into your Raspberry Pi Pico, and the program was built using our Pico C/C++ SDK, it will usually have a name and other useful information embedded into the binary. You can use the Picotool command line utility to find out these details. Full instructions on how to use Picotool to do this are available in our 'getting started' documentation.

Raspberry Pi 4: Hands-On with the Argon One M.2 case

Raspberry Pi 4: Hands-On with the Argon One M.2 case This case offers several important features for the Raspberry Pi 4, including excellent active and passive cooling, full-sized HDMI ports, and an M.2 SSD socket. The Argon One M.2 case for the Raspberry Pi 4 caught my eye because it offers creative solutions for a number of different issues in a single package. For example: CPU Cooling : This is a well-known problem with the Pi 4. The Argon One case has both active and passive cooling. For active, it includes a programmable fan; for passive, the case is (mostly) metallic, and has posts and silicon thermal pads to transfer the heat to the case for dissipation. Cable connections : Whether or not this is a problem depends on the specific installation and use, but when it is a problem it can be a big one. The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B has connections on two sides, which can lead to a messy installation on a desktop, or an even worse problem in tight-space installations. The Argon One case i

Sony FX3 launch date official as Sony teases 'new Alpha' camera A new teaser appears to have revealed the launch date for the Sony FX3, an exciting pro camera that will likely blur the boundaries between Sony's Cinema cameras and its Alpha models. The teaser above from Sony Alpha Universe promises "new cinematic freedom" from its special announcement and online event, which takes place on 23rd February at 10am / 3pm GMT. For Australian camera fans, that works out as 2am on 24 February. Looking at the image for the event above, it's highly likely to be for the launch of the Sony FX3. This compact full-frame model has been leaked in recent days and would sit nicely in that final spot to the right of larger cameras like the Sony FX6, which have been lined up in descending order of size. The FX3 is particularly interesting because it's likely to be so much more compact than the rest of Sony's Cinema line, which includes the Sony FX6, FX9 and Ve
