Description

Wio RP2040 module is designed with the RP2040 + ESP8285 wifi chip.The onboard wifi chip provides stable wireless capabilities, making it a perfect fit for your IoT platform choice. This rp2040 wifi module supports the Thonny code editor used by Raspberry Pi Pico. You can upgrade your original Pico project to Pico IoT project with a few simple lines of code! And the module adopts the stamp hole package form and small size, you can solder the module on various PCB boards more conveniently. 

In addition to the RP2040 + ESP8285 wifi chip combination, the board has rich interfaces, including 32 GPIO PINs (20 PINs support PIO and PWM), 2 UART, 4 ADC, 2 SPI, and 2 I2C. Some pins can be multiplexed, such as GP12 and GP13 with I2C, SPI, and UART functions. This is why 28 GPIO PINs can achieve more I/O PINs and interfaces. The Wio RP2040 module also has a USB PIN, which can be designed and connected to the USB interface. 

The Wio RP2040 module is fully compatible with the Thonny code editor, which means that you do not need professional electronic engineering-related knowledge, and you can control hardware devices just by using a simple MicroPython language!
