The new Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W for just under 7 euros

The compact yet powerful Raspberry Pi personal computers are still very popular and have been around for well over a decade. This is not surprising, as it is possible to build very interesting devices on its basis. This is also an incentive for Raspberry Pi to prepare new computer systems as a bet.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation recently presented its new micro-controller with one big interesting feature – the price of the controller is lower than the menu at a fast food restaurant. That's right. The price of the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W controller is only seven US dollars, which translates to 6.68 euros.

Novost je že na voljo za nakup na spletni povezavi https://www.raspberrypi.com/. Pico 2 W poganja po meri narejen čip RP2350 (SoC). Prav tako ima vgrajen 150 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 procesor in 264K SRAM-a, ter 2MB pomnilnika. V primerjavi s klasičnim modelom Raspberry Pi Pico 2 pa nudi še podporo za brezžične povezave 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2 iin Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). To mu omogoča čipovje Infineon CYW43439, ki je kompaktno in nadvse varčno z električno energijo.

In connection with the super-compact Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W system, a rich range of interfaces is also available, especially USB interfaces and support for programming with the UF2 interface. There is even a dedicated temperature sensor here. Nevertheless, the new Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W is also suitable for beginners, as the foundation regularly takes care of its released products, as well as publishes guides that guide the consumer step by step.
