More about RP2040
The Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller is a dual-core ARM Cortex M0 + processor clocked up to 133 MHz. It has 264 KB of SRAM memory, 30 multi-functional GPIO pins (including a four-channel 12-bit ADC), lots of peripheral extensions (I2C, SPI, UART, PWM, clocks etc.) and USB support. Moreover, it has a programmable IO that allows you to execute custom programs that allow you to manipulate GPIO pins and transfer data between peripherals - they can offload tasks that require high data transfer speeds or precise clocking.
