The RP2040 is a microcontroller chip developed by Raspberry Pi, launched in January 2021. It features a dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ processor running at up to 133 MHz, 264KB of on-chip SRAM, and no built-in flash memory, allowing users to pair it with external storage. The chip supports a variety of interfaces including I2C, SPI, UART, PWM, and USB 1.1, making it versatile for a wide range of applications from hobbyist projects to professional embedded systems. The RP2040 is known for its low cost, high performance, and ease of use, particularly within the Raspberry Pi Pico board.
In this guide, we’ll explore how to connect the EByte E70 433T14S2, a powerful long-range 433MHz transceiver module, to the Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040). This setup is ideal for IoT projects requiring long-range communication. We’ll also provide a simple sketch to demonstrate basic communication between these devices.
This article expands on the previous about the connection of DS18B20 sensors to a Raspberry Pi Pico using the OneWire protocol. It covers the use of a P-MOSFET gate as a pull-up resistor for the OneWire bus to improve communication reliability, as well as implementing temperature alarms triggered by a threshold. The article provides step-by-step instructions and code examples for incorporating these features. The goal of the article is to provide readers with advanced techniques for using DS18B20 sensors with a Raspberry Pi Pico.
This article covers how to connect DS18B20 digital temperature sensors to a Raspberry Pi Pico using the OneWire protocol. It includes information on all possible OneWire topologies, how to deal with long wires, and connecting multiple sensors. The article aims to provide a comprehensive guide for using these sensors with a Raspberry Pi Pico, including tips for troubleshooting and optimizing performance.
The Dallas DS18B20 is a digital temperature sensor that can be easily integrated with a Raspberry Pi Pico (rp2040) microcontroller. In this response, we will provide an introduction to the DS18B20 sensor and explain how to use it in parasite mode with a Raspberry Pi Pico.
We have already talked about the internal flash memories for rp2040 boards and other microcontrollers, which are very useful for storing pages or static files. However, they are not suitable for logging or similar applications, so we will learn how to connect and use an SD card which can have a lot of space, a very small form factor, and low power consumption.
Even though Raspberry Pi Foundation has released the Pico W version, I still find this tutorial useful for adding WiFi to rp2040 boards using an ESP32.
We will use an esp32-wroom-32 (or esp32-s) as WiFi coprocessor and the full potential WiFiNINA library to handle it.
In this article, we are going to explore the w5500 module with our Raspberry Pi Pico, w and the other rp2040 boards. w5500 is a quite powerful device that allows an Ethernet wired connection.
We continue to explore the rp2040 devices, very interesting microcontrollers. All prototype boards come with integrated SPI Flash. Raspberry Pi selected the LittleFS filesystem to manage this storage, a good compromise between functionality and performance.
It’s time to explore the new series of microcontrollers based on the rp2040 chip from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. As usual, we are going to use a generic Arduino IDE and C language.
