SparkFun Thing Plus - RP2350 (Ding and Dent)

The SparkFun Thing Plus - RP2350 is a versatile wireless development platform featuring the RP2350 microcontroller from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. This board is equipped with a 2.4 GHz WiFi 4 (802.11n) and Bluetooth® 5.2 radio module, on-board Lithium Ion (LiPo) battery charging and fuel gauge circuits, a microSD card socket, a Qwiic connector, and the Thing Plus pinout. It supports a wide range of local and remote applications.

This board is perfect for projects requiring robust wireless connectivity. Whether you're building a smart home device, a remote sensor, or a portable gadget, the RP2350 Thing Plus offers the flexibility and power you need. Its dual-core microcontroller allows you to choose between two ARM® Cortex® M33 processors or two Hazard3 RISC-V processors, or mix them to suit your application. With a clock speed of up to 150 MHz, it provides the processing power necessary for complex tasks.

In terms of memory, the board includes 520kB of SRAM in ten banks, 16MB of external Flash, and 8MB of PSRAM connected via the QSPI controller. This ensures ample storage for your code and data. Additionally, it comes with two UARTs, two SPI and two I2C controllers, and a USB 1.1 controller for host and device support, making it highly adaptable for various peripherals.

The RP2350 Thing Plus is compatible with multiple development environments, including C/C++ using the Pico SDK, MicroPython, CircuitPython, and Arduino. This broad compatibility makes it accessible to both beginners and experienced developers. The Raspberry Pi Radio Module (RM2), operating over an SPI interface, uses the same pins as official Raspberry Pi boards, ensuring seamless integration without the need for adjustments.

Please note the reversed polarity of the LiPo battery connector on this version. Follow the silkscreen markings to ensure correct polarity. This version, part of the "Ding & Dent" category, is a limited offer, and once sold out, it will not be restocked. No support or documentation is available for this item, so seize the opportunity while it lasts!
