Psst, haven't you heard? Megacontrollers are the new microcontrollers. Large is the new little. Chonk is the new smol. Pico Jumbo is a giant (3.5x scale) Raspberry Pi Pico 2 that has the following advantages over the standard sized one:

  • The holes and castellations in the ridiculous oversized pads are great for connecting up crocodile/alligator clips - very useful for demo-ing in a classroom, workshop or on the Youtubes.
  • It has the ultimate best number one all time no notes Pico upgrade - a reset button.
  • Things that are the wrong scale are inherently very funny to us.

You can buy a Pico Jumbo on its own or in a starter kit along with a selection of pleasantly chunky components, so you can experience the pure childlike joy of blinking a big ol' LED or wiring up a big ol' button.

Notes

About RP2350

The RP2350 chip is the Double Quarter Pounder & Fries to the RP2040's Double Cheeseburger and can have one or more RISC-V burgers instead of either of the M33 ARMs, to stretch the metaphor.

In addition to the modern M33 ARM cores, there are sides of: more PIO capability, a variety of low power states for sipping electrons, a whole security system and some sprinklings of specialist digital video circuits to offload DVI/HDMI output.

You can expect a tasty boost in performance - our "real world" MicroPython tests are running up to 2x faster compared to RP2040, and floating point number crunching in C/C++ is up to 20x faster. The extra on-chip RAM will make a big difference when performing memory intensive operations (such as working with higher resolution displays) and even more can be added thanks to external PSRAM support.

RP2350 comes in two flavours - A (standard) and B (all the pins). The B chip has a stonking 48 usable GPIO pins, including 8 ADCs and 24 PWMs, and features on some of our new products.
