Official Raspberry Pi Pico WH (Soldered)
The Raspberry Pi Pico WH is a compact, affordable, and versatile development board powered by the RP2040 microcontroller, designed by Raspberry Pi and launched in January 2021. It’s perfect for learning to code with MicroPython and offers great flexibility for various projects.
The RP2040 microcontroller is based on the ARM Cortex-M0+ architecture and was fully developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
Now, an upgraded version of the Pico has been introduced—Raspberry Pi Pico WH—featuring a 2.4GHz wireless interface while maintaining the same form factor as the original Pico.
At the core of every Pico board is the RP2040 chip, featuring:
- Dual ARM Cortex-M0+ cores running at 133MHz
- 256KB RAM
- 30 GPIO pins
- Extensive interfacing options
The Pico W and Pico WH models include the Infineon CYW43439 wireless chip, supporting IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2. However, only wireless LAN is supported at launch.
