Folks who have been using Adafruit products will find this very familiar - they use the technique on all their native-USB boards. Just note you don't double-click reset instead hold down BOOTSEL during boot to enter the bootloader!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RP2040 is a powerful chip, which has the clock speed of our M4 (SAMD51), and two cores that are equivalent to our M0 (SAMD21). Since it is an M0 chip, it does not have a floating point unit or DSP hardware support - so if you're doing something with heavy floating-point math, it will be done in software and thus not as fast as an M4. For many other computational tasks, you'll get close-to-M4 speeds!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor peripherals, there are two I2C controllers, two SPI controllers, and two UARTs that are multiplexed across the GPIO - check the pinout for what pins can be set to which. There are 16 PWM channels, each pin has a channel it can be set to (ditto on the pinout).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll note there's no I2S peripheral, or SDIO, or camera, what's up with that? Well instead of having specific hardware support for serial-data-like peripherals like these, the RP2040 comes with the PIO state machine system which is a unique and powerful way to create custom hardware logic and data processing blocks that run on their own without taking up a CPU. For example, NeoPixels - often Adafruit bitbang the timing-specific protocol for these LEDs. For the RP2040, they instead use PIO object that reads in the data buffer and clocks out the right bitstream with perfect accuracy. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/raspberrypi\/pico-examples\/tree\/master\/pio\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSame with I2S audio in or out, LED matrix displays, 8-bit or SPI based TFTs, even VGA!\u003c\/a\u003e In MicroPython and CircuitPython you can create PIO control commands to script the peripheral and load it in at runtime.

Folks who have been using Adafruit products will find this very familiar - they use the technique on all of their native-USB boards. Just note you don't double-click reset, instead hold down BOOTSEL during boot to enter the bootloader!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RP2040 is a powerful chip, which has the clock speed of the M4 (SAMD51), and two cores that are equivalent to the M0 (SAMD21). Since it is an M0 chip, it does not have a floating point unit or DSP hardware support - so if you're doing something with heavy floating point math, it will be done in software and thus not as fast as an M4. For many other computational tasks, you'll get close-to-M4 speeds!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor peripherals, there are two I2C controllers, two SPI controllers, and two UARTs that are multiplexed across the GPIO - check the pinout for what pins can be set to which. There are 16 PWM channels, each pin has a channel it can be set to (ditto on the pinout).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll note there's no I2S peripheral, or SDIO, or camera, what's up with that? Well instead of having specific hardware support for serial-data-like peripherals like these, the RP2040 comes with the PIO state machine system which is a unique and powerful way to create \u003cem\u003ecustom hardware logic and data processing blocks\u003c\/em\u003e that run on their own without taking up a CPU. For example, NeoPixels - often Adafruit bitbang the timing-specific protocol for these LEDs. For the RP2040, they instead use PIO object that reads in the data buffer and clocks out the right bitstream with perfect accuracy. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/raspberrypi\/pico-examples\/tree\/master\/pio\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSame with I2S audio in or out, LED matrix displays, 8-bit or SPI based TFTs, even VGA!\u003c\/a\u003e In MicroPython and CircuitPython you can create PIO control commands to script the peripheral and load it in at runtime.

Folks who have been using Adafruit products will find this very familiar - they use the technique on all their native-USB boards. Just note you don't double-click reset, instead hold down BOOTSEL during boot to enter the bootloader!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RP2040 is a powerful chip, which has the clock speed of the M4 (SAMD51), and two cores that are equivalent to the M0 (SAMD21). Since it is an M0 chip, it does not have a floating point unit or DSP hardware support - so if you're doing something with heavy floating point math, it will be done in software and thus not as fast as an M4. For many other computational tasks, you'll get close-to-M4 speeds!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor peripherals, there are two I2C controllers, two SPI controllers, and two UARTs that are multiplexed across the GPIO - check the pinout for what pins can be set to which. There are 16 PWM channels, each pin has a channel it can be set to (ditto on the pinout).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll note there's no I2S peripheral, or SDIO, or camera, what's up with that? Well, instead of having specific hardware support for serial-data-like peripherals like these, the RP2040 comes with the PIO state machine system which is a unique and powerful way to create custom hardware logic and data processing blocks that run on their own without taking up a CPU. For example, NeoPixels - often Adafruit bitbang the timing-specific protocol for these LEDs. For the RP2040, they instead use PIO object that reads in the data buffer and clocks out the right bitstream with perfect accuracy. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/raspberrypi\/pico-examples\/tree\/master\/pio\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/raspberrypi\/pico-examples\/tree\/master\/pio\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSame with I2S audio in or out, LED matrix displays, 8-bit or SPI based TFTs, even VGA!\u003c\/a\u003e In MicroPython and CircuitPython you can create PIO control commands to script the peripheral and load it in at runtime.
