RP2040 Zero Development Board [Discontinued]

This is a practical and affordable microcontroller board with plenty of features to get you started on your next project! It has an onboard DVI interface, a TF card slot, and a PIO-USB port. This board is also compatible with the Raspberry Pi 40-pin GPIO header. The board uses the RP2040 microcontroller chip, equipped with a dual-core ARM Cortex M0+ processor. This processor can operate up to a maximum of 133 MHz. For memory, it has 264KB of SRAM and 16MB of flash memory, providing decent capacity for various tasks.

With its onboard DVI interface, it enables it to connect with many HDMI screens that support DVI. Additionally, the board’s PIO-USB port allows it to function both as a USB host and a slave, providing flexibility in connecting with different devices. It also supports multiple programming environments, and is compatible with C/C++, MicroPython, and Arduino, providing flexibility for people with different programming preferences.
