An Arduino core that ports the Arduino development environment to the Raspberry Pi Pico's RP2040 and RP2350 microcontrollers, built on the official Raspberry Pi Pico SDK. It supports a wide range of third-party boards, ARM and RISC-V cores, FreeRTOS with SMP, and wireless features like WiFi and Bluetooth on Pico W variants.
Use cases
- program a Raspberry Pi Pico with Arduino sketches
- build IoT projects with Pico W WiFi and Bluetooth
- use FreeRTOS with SMP on RP2040
- develop firmware for RP2350 boards
- flash Arduino code to third-party RP2040 boards like Adafruit Feather
When to choose
- you want the Arduino API and ecosystem on RP2040/RP2350 hardware
- you need broad board support and active maintenance
- you want WiFi/BLE support on Pico W without leaving Arduino
When to avoid
- you need bare-metal C/C++ with the official Pico SDK directly
- you target microcontrollers other than RP2040/RP2350
- you require Arduino compatibility with other cores' libraries that depend on AVR specifics
