The QT Py RP2040 is an ultra-compact dev board featuring the RP2040 chip, renowned for its use in the Raspberry Pi Pico and other boards like Feather and ItsyBitsy RP2040. Perfect for projects requiring a small footprint, the QT Py RP2040 packs all the essential features into a diminutive design.

Key Features:

  • STEMMA QT Connector: The standout feature of this board is the STEMMA QT connector, an I2C port that allows plug-and-play connections to various SparkFun Qwiic or Seeed Grove I2C sensors and accessories. No soldering required—just plug in a compatible cable and start using it!
  • USB Support: Native USB functionality enables the board to act as a USB serial console, MIDI controller, Keyboard/Mouse HID, or even a small disk drive for storing Python scripts.
  • RGB NeoPixel LED: This board comes with a built-in NeoPixel for easy visual feedback.
  • Compact Design: The board is the same size, shape, and pinout as the Seeed Xiao, with castellated pads for easy PCB mounting.
  • Versatile Connectivity: In addition to the STEMMA QT connector, it has breakout pads for SPI, UART, I2C, and GPIO pins, as well as PWM outputs for controlling servos, LEDs, and more.
  • RP2040 Chip: This dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ processor runs at 133MHz, with 264KB of RAM and 8MB of external QSPI flash memory for storage. The flash is shared between the running program and file storage when using Python-based environments like MicroPython or CircuitPython.
  • Software Support: The QT Py RP2040 supports C/C++, MicroPython, CircuitPython, and unofficial Arduino libraries. CircuitPython is recommended for ease of use and compatibility with SparkFun tutorials, sensors, and accessories.
