Special features of the tile
- Includes a 5 x 5 RGB LED matrix to create visual effects
- It has a built-in RP2040 chip with a dual-core ARM Cortex M0+ 133 MHz processor, 264 kB SRAM and 2 MB Flash memory.
- It allows you to expand the functionality of the module thanks to 20 GPIO pins
- Communicates with other devices via USB Type C
- It offers to switch to sleep mode
- It is equipped with UART, SPI and I2C interfaces that enable communication with various peripheral devices
Touching the LEDs while the matrix is working is not recommended because it may result in possible burns and damage to the LEDs themselves.
Arrangement of elements on the board
- USB Type-C connector
- 5 x 5 RGB LED matrix
- BOOT button
- Reset button
- LDO voltage stabilizer RT9013-33GB, maximum current 500 mA
- W25Q16JVUXIQ, 2 MB NOR-Flash
- Dual core RP2040 processor, operating frequency up to 133MHz
The current consumption of a fully turned on RGB LED array is approximately 350 mA and therefore it is recommended to use a power adapter with a power of at least 500 mA to ensure adequate power supply to the board and avoid power shortage problems.
