The microcomputer 'Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W' that can use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth has arrived, so we'll do a quick photo review



The 'Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W', which was released on November 25, 2024, is a wireless version of the '

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 ' released in August 2024, and is equipped with a proprietary microcontroller ' RP2350 ' equipped with both Arm cores and RISC-V cores, as well as a wireless communication module compatible with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W arrived at the GIGAZINE editorial department, so we took a closer look at the appearance and the installed chips.

The package looks like this.



This is the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W.



The dimensions are approximately 21mm x 51mm. To get an idea of the size, hold it between your fingers like this.



The microcontroller is the Raspberry Pi's proprietary RP2350, which has two Arm cores, 'Cortex-M33', and two RISC-V cores, 'Hazard3'.



This is the wireless communication module. It supports 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2.



It also has a BOOTSEL button. The USB port is USB Micro B.
