Product Information
The Raspberry Pi RP2040-Zero is a compact and powerful microcontroller based on the RP2040 chip, designed for versatility and performance. With a dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ processor, 264KB of SRAM, and flexible I/O, the RP2040-Zero is perfect for a wide range of embedded systems, robotics, and IoT applications. Its small form factor makes it easy to integrate into tight spaces without sacrificing functionality.

Key Features:
Powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2040 dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller
264KB of SRAM and Flash storage for running complex tasks
Supports a variety of digital interfaces including I2C, SPI, and UART
Small form factor for compact projects
Ideal for use in embedded systems, robotics, and IoT applications

Common Accessories
Breadboards 400 or 830 tie-point breadboard would be fine
Breadboard Power Supply Can operate at 3.3V & 5V
Jumper wires Great for connecting off-board components & modules to the circuit

  • I think the wifi version of this recently came out which is much more useful in our Orwellian IOT world

      We're planning on selling them as well but they're currently on backorder.

    Here's a fun RP2040 project for you: Pico Keys to use RP2040 board as a FIDO2 key (like a YubiKey) on websites.

    (though RP2040 boards with built-in USB connector may be more useful for this purpose)

    • Which hardware is recommended?
      For boards using either the RP2350 or ESP32-S3 chips, both are recommended. The RP2350 stands out with a larger One-Time Programming (OTP) region, providing additional space for storing secure keys and configurations, and is likely to offer greater support for future updates. However, the RP2040 is not advisable for applications requiring hardware security, as it lacks built-in security features essential for robust protection.

      • Absolutely. Though it's gonna take a while to see RP2350-based boards that suitable for this purpose.

        As a cheap, hobbyist alternative to overpriced FIDO2 keys (yeah I'm talking to you Yubico!), even unprotected RP2040 Pico Fido firmware is already safer than password + OTPs given you safeguard the hardware itself.
