Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : Pico boards with Wifi free see below

I have some Pico boards with Wifi built in

Does anyone want one to play with?
See if you can figure out how to get the Wifi working with Picomite?

These are free and I will post at my own cost if someone wants to have them to see how good they are, what possibilities they have and if it's easy to use the Wifi/bluetooth on them

I was originally going to use them for a competion to see who can come up with the best program for them but it seems that even though the pin count is less than the standard Pico, Picomite should work "as is" on them.


I have 2 X Wio RP2040 Module - Build-in Wireless 2.4G
These use an ESP8285 wifi module on board

I have 1 X Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect with Wifi and Bluetooth
This uses the Nina W102 wifi/bluetooth module

U-blox Nina W102 WiFi/Bluetooth Module
240MHz 32bit Dual Core Xtensa LX6
520kB on-chip SRAM
448 Kbyte ROM for booting and core functions
16 Mbit FLASH for code storage including hardware encryption to protect programs and data
1 kbit EFUSE (non- erasable memory) for MAC addresses, module configuration, Flash-
Encryption, and Chip-ID
IEEE 802.11b/g/n single-band 2.4 GHz WiFi operation
Bluetooth 4.2
Integated Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA)
4x 12-bit ADC
3x I2C, SDIO, CAN, QSPI Memory AT25SF128A 16MB NOR Flash QSPI data transfer rate up to 532Mbps
100K program/erase cycles

ST LSM6DSOXTR 6-axis IMU
3D Gyroscope
3D Accelerometer
Advanced pedometer, step detector and step counter
Significant Motion Detection, Tilt detection
Standard interrupts: free-fall, wakeup, 6D/4D orientation, click and double-click
Programmable finite state machine: accelerometer, gyroscope and external sensors
Machine Learning Core

Embedded temperature sensor

ST MP34DT06JTR MEMS Microphone
64 dB signal-to-noise ratio
Omnidirectional sensitivity

RGB LED
Common Anode

Connected to U-blox Nina W102 GPIO

Microchip ATECC608A Crypto Cryptographic Co-Processor with Secure Hardware-Based Key Storage
I2C, SWI
Hardware Support for Symmetric Algorithms:
SHA-256 & HMAC Hash including off-chip context save/restore
AES-128: Encrypt/Decrypt, Galois Field Multiply for GCM
Internal High-Quality NIST SP 800-90A/B/C Random Number Generator (RNG)
Secure Boot Support:
Full ECDSA code signature validation, optional stored digest/signature
Optional communication key disablement prior to secure boot
Encryption/Authentication for messages to prevent on-board attacks


Perhaps after figuring them out and confirming that the work properly with Picomite it "might" be possible to have wifi/bluetooth commands built in Picomite? Peter?

If anyone wants one please say below and say which version you want

I have 3 altogether to give away, I also have 1 of each I am keeping for myself just in case I ever find a use for them

I would be very interested in one of these.   Arduino Nano RP2040 sounds like a good device.
They call me Shai-Hulud (The maker)
