Raspberry Pi microcontroller board that includes the RP2350A and a wi-fi radio offering WiFi and Bluetooth performance.

The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 collection of microcontroller boards is constructed on RP2350and the Pico 2 W provides wi-fi performance with a 2.4GHz 802.11n wi-fi LAN and Bluetooth 5.2 wi-fi radio and on-board antenna.. With the next core clock pace, double the on-chip SRAM, double the on-board flash reminiscence, extra highly effective Arm cores, elective RISC-V cores, new security measures, and upgraded interfacing capabilities than the earlier model. The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 collection delivers a big efficiency and have increase whereas retaining {hardware} and software program compatibility with earlier members of the Raspberry Pi Pico household.

This board is now out there for pre-order.

A whole growth equipment for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, offering all merchandise required to permit an engineer to begin a design “out of the field”. This features a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 32GB Wi-fi with 4GB RAM, Metallic Case, IO Board, Passive Cooler, Energy Provide (NA plug), Antenna, and HDMI and USB A to C Cables.

For those who’re wanting to make use of a unique Compute Module 5, we now have 16 completely different choices to select from!

This equipment is now out there for pre-order.

The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 IO Board breaks out each interface from a Compute Module 5. It supplies a growth platform and reference baseboard, decreasing the time to marketplace for
Compute Module 5 primarily based designs.

It is a metallic case designed to suit the Compute Module 5 IO Board. The case contains an built-in fan, which could be linked to the 4-pin fan connector on the IO Board to enhance thermal efficiency of the Compute Module 5.

This case is now out there for pre-order.

That is an aluminum warmth sink designed to suit on a Compute Module 5. It contains thermal pads for optimum warmth switch from the CPU, reminiscence, wi-fi module (if fitted) and eMMC (if fitted) parts to the heatsink itself. We extremely advocate utilizing one with the brand new Compute Module 5 line.
