Raspberry Pi Pico 2W Power Supply
The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W is equipped with a microUSB port, which allows both powering the module and communicating with the computer. The device requires a 5 V supply voltage to operate correctly. Alternatively, power can be supplied via the VSYS pin, which supports a voltage ranging from 1, 8 V to 5.5 V. This allows the module to be powered, for example, from a 3.7 V Li-Pol battery or a set of AA batteries .
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 Programming In
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W can be programmed in C/C++ and MicroPython , which gives great flexibility in creating applications. To upload a program, simply press and hold the BOOTSEL button, then connect the module to the computer using a microUSB cable. The device will be detected as a memory USB mass storage device, to which you need to drag the program file. The manufacturer provides an SDK (Software Development Kit) for both supported languages, available in the useful links section, which makes it much easier to start working with the module.
Pico 2 offers high performance for programming in C/C++ and Python.
