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 href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/rp2350\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here to view all things RP2350!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pimoroni","offers":[{"title":"Board Only","offer_id":54977948713339,"sku":"PIM727","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Starter Kit - 16,384 pixels of RGB joy!","offer_id":55006518411643,"sku":"PIM759","price":76.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/files\/Interstate-75W-2350-1_a9267a0a-7d17-4dce-b1b9-e55d13eb164d.jpg?v=1738425112","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/interstate-75-w","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
