RP2040 is the debut microcontroller from Raspberry Pi. It brings signature values of high performance, low cost, and ease of use to the microcontroller space.

Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040 is based on the RP2040 chip and wrapped in a compact size with multiple interfaces like other products from the Seeed Studio XIAO series, and it's compatible with the Seeed Studio XIAO expansion board.

In addition to the powerful CPU, the Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040 has 264K SRAM and 2MB of Flash on board. Some PINs have various functions. Moreover, Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040 supports the USB Type-C interface which can supply power and download code. 1 Reset button, 1 BOOT button, 1 user-programmable RGB LED, 1 power LED, 2 status indicators, and 1 user LED are on board, allowing developers to debug their code very easily.

The robust performance makes it perfect for machine learning applications, and the tiny size allows it to be used in wearable devices, not just for prototypes but the mass production.

Note

XIAO SoM User Manual open-sources all hardware and software materials of XIAO, providing professional product design guidelines to help you accelerate ideas off the ground, streamline product design, providing a seamless experience from module selection to mass production.

Starter Kit with free Course for all Electronics Neophytes and Enthusiasts

Seeed Studio has provided the Grove Starter Kit along with free and detailed courses for you quickly get started with microcontrollers and electronics, regarding all the Seeed Studio XIAO boards, promising you a great learning experience.

Not only programming but also electronics knowledge is not required, you will be taken step by step, from understanding the basic concepts to exercising the simple projects individually, finally being able to build complex, interesting, wearable projects on your own, owing a practical electronic product prototype from the course.

You can access the Seeed Studio Grove ecosystem by connecting it to the compatible Seeed Studio XIAO expansion board. We have developed more than 400 Grove modules, covering a wide range of applications that can fulfill various needs. For example, you can make an IR Remote Control Fan by connecting the Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040 with an expansion board, a Grove IR(Infrared) Receiver, a Grove - Servo, and a Grove - Mini Fan v1.1. Get started and explore the infinite possibilities of the Seeed Studio XIAO series!

Furthermore, Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040 is friendly to the communities for its strong software compatibilities, which support Arduino, Micropython, and CircuitPython. Except for the software, flexible I/O allows it to speak to almost any external device. You can also use the Thonny editor to program as if you were using Raspberry Pi Pico.

    neatly packaged, tinier than expected, even though you can paint a picture by looking at the usb port, the pictures dont do these controllers justice.

    Very easy to add to Arduino IDE and program through there. The price is quite reasonable for what this is. I planned to use it to control some lights on a Freeform circuit but I'll instead be using it for a custom macro pad. I'll certainly order more of these in the future for split keyboards. Shipping was a little slower than I'd like but it was free so I can't complain. I would add five stars for documentation but the fifth star isn't rendering in my web browser.
