on the side dozens of input and also output pins which have the role of maintaining de communication with other elements.
Microcontrollers represent, as the name suggests, a component that allows to control of other electronic devices and components. The Regular Raspberry Pis represents single-board computers with a general purpose and these microcontrollers are designed especially to maintain the interaction between components and devices.
So, Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W, is a a panel designed around a microcontroller and is able to allow its users to build hardware projects on a large scale.
Hobbyists often begin their microcontroller-based projects using a breadboard to avoid the initial soldering. However, as the project progresses, they are able to bond the microcontroller to other components.
It’s important to mention that, unlike the standard Raspberry Pi computers, microcontrollers don’t operate with a full-fledged operating system, instead the code will run directly on the chip itself.
The Pico 2 W, supports C and C++ along with MicroPython and other Python-inspired languages for microcontrollers in development. This new Raspberry Pi 2 can retain various software and hardware compatibilities with other older generations' boards.
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W had a price of $7 and has a dual-core processor that can run at 150MHz. It should be mentioned that when working with such a microcontroller, you have the option to use either a pair of Arm Cortex-M33 cores or a pair of open-hardware Hazard 2 RISC-V cores.
Also, the Pico 2 W features a 4MB flash memory on-board that is able to store the code and supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi along with Bluetooth 5.2. But for those who are not using the Wi-Fi functionality, the Raspberry Pi company is offering the Pico 2 W without this utility for $5.
Recently, the Raspberry Pi’s products are facing a growing adoption from industrial and electronics manufacturing companies. After going public this year, the Raspberry Company revealed that the industrial segment was estimated to represent about 72% of its sales.
This mainly explains why the Pico 2 W boards are currently available as individual units to buy and also in a group of 480-unit reels.
