The recently released Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect and Raspberry Pi Pico development boards are available from stock at Farnell. They are designed to accelerate development time and time-to-market.

The organization has introduced the Raspberry Pi Pico, a $4 board meant to offer a gentle entry point for microcontrollers. Think of it more as a complement to a Pi aimed at tasks like analog input.

One of the standout features of the Raspberry Pi Pico is its RP2040 chip, which includes a dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ processor with 264KB internal RAM and support for up to 16MB of off-chip Flash.

The Pico series has a new update, the $7 Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W. Let's take a look at what this board brings to the table with its feature set.

Most Arduino boards have an ADC chip with a 10-bit resolution that can output values from 0 to 1023. Popular boards like the Arduino Uno, Nano, Micro, and Mega are great examples of this.
