Arduino Maker Nano RP2040  board reviewed

If you want to be taught extra concerning the new Arduino Maker Nano RP2040 will likely be happy to know {that a} evaluation has been revealed to the official Raspberry Pi MagazinePi journal web site this week by Phil King. Available to buy for £8 or $8 relying in your location the Maker Nano RP2040, because the identify suggests, includes a Arduino Nano type issue and is powered by a Raspberry Pi RP2040. Providing a Dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ processor along with 264KB inner RAM, 2MB of Flash reminiscence the identical specs because the Raspberry Pi Pico.

Other options of the Maker Nano RP2040 small board which measures simply 49.53mm x 21.08mm in dimension embrace help for the Arduino IDE, CircuitPython and MicroPython. Together with 14x Status indicator LEDs for GPIOs, 1x Piezo buzzer with mute change, 1x Pushbutton, 2x RGB LEDs (WS2812 Neopixel) and 2x Maker Ports, appropriate with Qwiic, STEMMA QT, Grove (through conversion cable).

“Slightly shorter than a Pico, this board has 30 pre-soldered pins, all helpfully labelled on the silkscreen. While the pinout is very similar to the Arduino Nano’s, there are four (12-bit) analogue inputs rather than eight (10-bit). Some digital GPIO pins are numbered differently too. A pair of reset pins are linked to a handy reset button on the top, where there’s also a boot button – held to attach the board as a USB drive to a computer – and a programmable button linked to GPIO pin 20.”

“On either side of the micro-USB port are two RGB NeoPixel LEDs. Since both are linked to GPIO 11, they can’t be controlled separately, but some cool colour-changing effects can be achieved. In addition, 14 of the digital pins have tiny blue status LEDs that may well prove useful when troubleshooting I/O connections for circuits. Primitive audio is also provided in the form of a piezo buzzer that can be muted with a slide switch. It can be programmed to play beepy tunes by sending numerical note values.”

8/10 A well-designed microcontroller board with a familiar Arduino form factor, the power of RP2040, and cool bonus features.”
