Zaitronics Nexus RP2350 LiPo

The Zaitronics Nexus RP2350 LiPo, designed by our team in Melbourne, Australia, is a powerful and versatile microcontroller board tailored for hobbyists, educators, and professionals. Built around the Raspberry Pi RP2350A microcontroller, this board serves as a direct replacement for the Raspberry Pi Pico, offering the same compact form factor and pinout compatibility while introducing enhanced features like LiPo battery support and USB Type-C connectivity. Ideal for prototyping IoT devices, building portable projects, or teaching microcontroller programming, the Nexus RP2350 Lipo delivers exceptional performance and flexibility.

Key Features:

• RP2350A Microcontroller
  – Dual Arm Cortex-M33 cores
  – Runs at up to 150MHz
  – Hardware single-precision floating point unit (FPU)
  – DSP (Digital Signal Processing) instruction support
  – Built-in power efficiency and enhanced security features
• 128Mbit (16MB) Quad-SPI Flash – Plenty of memory for larger codebases, graphics, or data logging.
• USB Type-C Connector – Modern, reversible, and durable for development or powering your project.
• LiPo Battery Support – Supports 3.7V LiPo batteries via JST-PH 2-pin connector, with onboard charging at 200mA. Automatically charges when USB is connected and switches to battery power when unplugged. Caution: Not all LiPo batteries have the same polarity. Compatible batteries can be found here (only visible within Australia) or battery polarity here.
• Charging Status LED – Quickly see when your battery is charging.
• Castellated Edges – Ideal for soldering onto carrier boards.
• Boot and Reset Buttons – Essential for smooth development workflows.
• 3-Pin JST-SH Debug Connector – Simple and compact access to SWD debugging.
• Qw/ST (Qwiic/STEMMA QT) Connector - Swiftly attach compatible breakouts
• Programmable Red LED on GP25 – Use for status indication or user feedback.
• Fully Raspberry Pi Pico Compatible – Same size and pinout, with upgraded internals.
• Designed in Melbourne, Australia – Developed by the Zaitronics team with maker-focused improvements.
• Dimensions - 21mm x 51mm

Language & Software Support:
