Introduction

RP2040-Matrix is a Pico-like MCU board based on Raspberry Pi RP2040. This castellated module allows soldering directly to carrier boards, adapting 20 × multi-function GPIO pins in this mini board. Onboard 5*5 RGB LEDs are for colorful lighting displays or simple images.

Features

• RP2040 microcontroller chip designed by Raspberry Pi in the United Kingdom.
• Dual-core Arm Cortex M0+ processor, flexible clock running up to 133 MHz.
• 264KB of SRAM, and 2MB of onboard Flash memory.
• Onboard 5 × 5 RGB LED matrix for colorful lighting display.
• The castellated module allows soldering directly to carrier boards.
• USB 1.1 with device and host support.
• Low-power sleep and dormant modes.
• Drag-and-drop programming using mass storage over USB.
• 20 × multi-function GPIO pins.
• 2 × SPI, 2 × I2C, 2 × UART, 4 × 12-bit ADC, 16 × controllable PWM channels.
• Accurate clock and timer on-chip.
• Temperature sensor.
• Accelerated floating-point libraries on-chip.
• 8 × Programmable I/O (PIO) state machines for custom peripheral support.

Note

• When the RGB LED matrix is fully on and the current is about 350MA, it is recommended to use a power adapter of 500MA or more.
• Please do not touch the RGB LED beads when the RGB LED matrix is fully on.
• It is not recommended to fully illuminate the RGB LED matrix for a long period of time, as it will cause the LEDs to accumulate heat and lead to high temperature, which will lead to a decrease in the life of the lamp beads or burn them out.
