Scratch Building Raspberry Pi RP2040 IoT Devices – Day 4

A little less than a month ago the folks at Raspberry Pi introduced a new variant of the Raspberry Pi Pico. The new Raspberry Pi Pico W is constructed around the same RP2040 microcontroller that drives the original Raspberry Pi Pico. However, the Pico W adds a long-awaited communications feature not found on the original Pico. The “W” in Pico W is short for Wi-FI. Today we will examine the differences between the original Raspberry Pi Pico and the new Raspberry Pi Pico W. We will also take a look at how to use the libraries within the new SDK that support the Pico W’s CYW43439 Wi-Fi IC.
