Raspberry Pi fans or those looking to learn more about why the official Raspberry Pi Foundation developed the new Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller and RP2040 chip, are sure to enjoy a “Meet the Engineers” webinar. Questions answered in the event include : What was their approach? What engineering challenges did they encounter? What are SparkFun’s RP2040-based solutions? What was involved in the engineering process? Which sort of projects and products can webinar attendees develop with these innovative products?
The Raspberry Pi Pico is equipped with a RP2040 chip featuring 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.
