At lower voltage levels you will start to see the blue elements of the LEDs fading out - this starts to become very noticeable at 2.9V and below.

You'll need an external LiPo charger (like \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/lipo-amigo\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLiPo Amigo\u003c\/a\u003e) to charge the battery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf encoder motors are not being used, then four extra GPIO (16, 17, 18, 19) are available via the pads at the bottom edge of the board, in between the Qw\/ST connectors and 0.1\" motor connector.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout RP2350\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RP2350 chip is the Double Quarter Pounder \u0026amp; Fries to the RP2040's Double Cheeseburger and can have one or more RISC-V burgers instead of either of the M33 ARMs, to stretch the metaphor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the modern M33 ARM cores, there are sides of: more PIO capability, a variety of low power states for sipping electrons, a whole security system and some sprinklings of specialist digital video circuits to offload DVI\/HDMI output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can expect a tasty boost in performance - our \"real world\" MicroPython tests are running up to 2x faster compared to RP2040, and floating point number crunching in C\/C++ is up to 20x faster. The extra on-chip RAM will make a big difference when performing memory intensive operations (such as working with higher resolution displays) and even more can be added thanks to external PSRAM support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRP2350 comes in two flavours - A (standard) and B (all the pins). The B chip has a stonking 48 usable GPIO pins, including 8 ADCs and 24 PWMs, and features on some of our new products. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/rp2350\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here to view all things RP2350!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pimoroni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55915720606075,"sku":"PIM733","price":28.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/files\/inventor-2350-w-background.png?v=1763472204"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/collections\/pico-w-aboard.oembed","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
