Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W

by Raspberry Pi

A low cost, high-performance, secure microcontroller board built around Raspberry Pi's souped up new chip - RP2350. Now with 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth!

With a higher core clock speed, double the on-chip SRAM, double the on-board flash memory, more powerful ARM cores, optional RISC-V cores, new security features, and upgraded interfacing capabilities, Raspberry Pi Pico 2 delivers a significant performance and feature boost, while retaining hardware and software compatibility with earlier members of the Raspberry Pi Pico series.

The 'W' version comes with a 2.4GHz wireless LAN and Bluetooth 5.2 module built in and is ready to take on all your connected projects!

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W comes without header pins as standard so you'll need to pick some up separately if you're planning on plugging it into into a breadboard or one of our Raspberry Pi Pico add-ons. Or you could pick up our headered version, which has two rows of downwards-pointing header pins lovingly pre-soldered by pirates.

New security features

RP2350 provides a comprehensive security architecture, built around Arm TrustZone for Cortex-M, and incorporating signed boot, 8KB of antifuse OTP for key storage, SHA-256 acceleration, a hardware TRNG, and fast glitch detectors. These features, including the secure boot ROM, are extensively documented and available to all users without restriction: this transparent approach, which contrasts with the “security through obscurity” offered by legacy vendors, allows professional users to integrate RP2350, and Raspberry Pi Pico 2, into products with confidence.

Dual-core, dual architecture

The unique dual-core, dual-architecture capability of RP2350 allows users to choose between a pair of industry-standard Arm Cortex-M33 cores, and a pair of open-hardware. Hazard3 RISC-V cores. Programmable in C / C++ and MicroPython, and with detailed documentation, Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is the ideal microcontroller board for enthusiasts and professional developers alike.

The one-liner installer works well on a clean install of Retropie. The amp is just enough to drive a T1-2121SD

Upgraded my original Kickstarter Picade and needed this for Pi 4 compatibility. Works the charm- only wish is that audio was stereo. Other than that, it works well and was an easy upgrade! Recommended

Works perfect, very easy to setup, connecting all buttons, joystick and all has been as easy as it gets. Plus the on/off switch is a real treat compared to the old plug / unplug you're used to with the Raspberry Pi. Would recommend 100% !

This is a brilliant controller board for our arcade project, and makes it really easy to connect everything. We haven't tested it yet but it is a great board.

An excellent bit of kit! I paired it with RetroPie and my 1980s Competition Pro joystick to create my own little piece of 8-bit gaming heaven...

This is a great little board! I wanted to power a Pi and Pi Display in a SmartPi case with USB-C for a bit more power and this was available at an opportune time. The +/- are placed with just enough space to solder a right angle connector and feed wires through the case to the display. Still waiting to get hold of a PSU but this is working well off a bench supply. Software was easy to install, and the IO will come in handy for any controls I want to add to my project.

Bought this for an arcade project along with a Pi 3 A+. Easy way to provide on/off switch functionality, an audio amp with speaker output and any extra buttons needed.
