Pinouts of the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 module
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 has 26 universal GPIO pins , including 4 for ADC, operating with a voltage of up to 5 V, which facilitates integration with a wide range of sensors and peripheral devices. These include interfaces such as: 2x SPI, 2x I2C, 2x UART, ADC, PWM and USB 1.1 . The module also has 3 PIO v2 blocks, which allows you to easily create custom digital interfaces.
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 offers a variety of peripherals such as UART, SPI, I2C, PWM and USB.
RP2350 provides a comprehensive security architecture, built around Arm TrustZone.
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 power supply
The module has a built-in microUSB port, which is used for both power supply and communication of the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 board with the computer. The board requires 5 V power supply for proper operation. The board can also be powered from the VSYS pin with a voltage from 1.8 V to 5.5 V , using an external power source, e.g. a 3.7 V Li-Pol battery or 3x AA batteries .

The logical part of the Raspberry Pi Pico works with a voltage of 3.3 V. |
Raspberry Pi Pico programming
Raspberry Pi Pico programming can be performed in C/C++ and MicroPython. To upload the program to the board, press and hold the BOOTSEL button, and then connect the Raspberry Pi Pico to the computer using a microUSB cable. The module will be detected as a USB mass memory, to which you should drag and drop the program file. The manufacturer provides an SDK (Software Development Kit) for the C/C++ and MicroPython programming languages, which can be found in the useful links below.
Pico 2 offers high performance for C/C++ and Python programming.
