In this guide you'll learn how to install Earle Philhower's Arduino core for RP2040 devices, arduino-pico. This core supports a bunch of different RP2040 boards.

Supported boards at time of writing (there's probably more now)

  • Raspberry Pi Pico
  • Adafruit Feather RP2040
  • Adafruit ItsyBitsy RP2040
  • Adafruit Macropad RP2040
  • Adafruit QTPy RP2040
  • Adafruit STEMMA Friend RP2040
  • Adafruit Trinkey RP2040 QT
  • Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect
  • SparkFun ProMicro RP2040
  • Generic (configurable flash, I/O pins)

This core makes it easy to use Arduino with all your favorite RP2040 boards so you can create fast projects using them.
