Gotchas

1 known issues
  • RP2350 A2 pull-down erratum. Early RP2350 silicon (stepping A2) has an erratum (E9) where a GPIO input with the internal pull-down enabled can latch high; use external pull-downs on those revisions.[2]

History and use today

Editorial

History

Launched in August 2024, the Pico 2 kept the Pico's footprint and price point while moving to the RP2350, with faster cores, twice the SRAM and flash, and new security features.[4]

Still useful for

The default choice for new Pico projects; most RP2040 code ports with a rebuild.
