Seeed XIAO RP2350 Main Board

XIAO RP2350 - Powerful Raspberry Pi RP2350 MCU in a Tiny Form Factor (Pre-Soldered / Un-soldered Options)

Experience the next level of compact computing with the Seeed Studio XIAO RP2350 ! This tiny yet mighty development board features the cutting-edge Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller , bringing dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ processing power, generous memory, and the beloved Programmable I/O (PIO) to the classic XIAO thumb-sized footprint. Whether you're a hobbyist, student, or professional, the XIAO RP2350 is your perfect partner for IoT projects, wearable electronics, robotics, and embedded machine learning .

Choose the option that best suits your workflow: Pre-Soldered headers for instant breadboard compatibility and quick prototyping, or Un-soldered for maximum flexibility in custom integrations and a lower profile. The RP2350 chip offers robust performance for demanding tasks, while the XIAO form factor ensures it fits almost anywhere. With support for MicroPython, C/C++, and often the Arduino IDE, development is accessible and versatile.

Tap into the power of the RP2350's unique PIO state machines to create custom hardware interfaces with ease. The board provides ample GPIOs, standard communication interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART), and a USB-C port for power and programming, all packed onto a single-sided board for easy surface mounting.

Key Features:

• Next-Gen RP2350 Power: Features the new Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller, a dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ processor (typically running at high clock speeds, e.g., 133MHz or more) for enhanced performance.
• Flexible Header Options:
  • Pre-Soldered: Ready to plug into a breadboard or female headers right out of the box - perfect for quick starts and experimentation.
  • Un-soldered: Comes with header pins loose, allowing for custom wiring, direct soldering to PCBs, or use with different connector types for a lower profile.
