On its Kickstarter page, it's available in multiple colors(around 20 different colors).

It has a crystal oscillator of 16MHz, so it's as fast as UNO or Nano.

It comes with an SRAM memory of 2.5KB, it's even greater than that of UNO(where SRAM is 2KB).

(The code we compile on Arduino IDE software is called a sketch) It is the memory where the sketch is stored.

The flash memory is 32KB out of which 4KB is used by Bootloader.

Arduino Pico supports two types of Communication Protocols: (We will discuss them later in detail).

The board also contains one micro USB Type-B Port, a reset button and a Reset pin.

The maximum current rating of Arduino Pico is 40mA, so we can't attach a load drawing more current than that.

Arduino Pico board operates at 5V while the input voltage ranges from 7V to 12V.

Out of 8 digital pins, 1 Pin can also be used for generating PWM pulses and its Pin # D3.

It also contains 3 analog I/O pins used for interfacing analog sensors.

Arduino Pico comes with 8 digital input/output pins.

The small size of 0.6” x 0.6” and 1.1g weight is what makes it special for a range of autonomous applications i.e.

Leonardo compatible bootloader is pre-installed in Arduino Pico.

Arduino Pico is a small-sized( 0.6' x 0.6'), breadboard-friendly and Arduino-Compatible Microcontroller board, based on Atmega32u4 Microcontroller, contains 15 pins onboard and developed by MellBell Electronics(a Canadian company confounded by MOHAMMAD MALHAS & AHMAD NABEL).

I suggest you read this post all the way through as I’ll detail the complete Introduction to Arduino Pico covering datasheet, pinout, features, pin description, programming and communication and applications. This smallest Pico version is readily available to turn your innovative thoughts into reality. A common man with no prior knowledge about programming can get hands-on experience with them.

where size is the real issue.Īrduino boards are introduced in modern electronics, to make projects economical and easy to design.

Because of its small size & low weight, it is normally used in autonomous projects i.e. In this post today, I’ll walk you through the Introduction to Arduino Pico.Īrduino Pico is the world’s smallest Arduino compatible board, as said by Arduino Official Page.
