LILYGO has introduced a brand new mannequin of T-Pico all-in-one improvement equipment, now that includes a Raspberry Pi RP2350A microcontroller — and an Espressif ESP32-C6 for good measure, appearing as a communications coprocessor.
The T-Pico 2350, as the brand new mannequin is understood, builds on the corporate’s T-Pico C3 and T-Pico Professional, that includes a 2.33″ 480×222 full-color IPS touchscreen show, an HDMI-compatible video output supporting a 480p60 decision, and 15 pins of general-purpose enter/output (GPIO) connectivity introduced out to 2 connectors, plus two Qwiic ports — one providing I2C connectivity, the opposite UART serial.

These GPIO, I2C, and UART pins are related to the event board’s Raspberry Pi RP2350A microcontroller — its second-generation in-house design, that includes two Arm Cortex-M33 cores and two free and open-source Hazard3 RISC-V cores working at as much as 150MHz usable in any one- or two-core mixture and 520kB of static RAM (SRAM) — however they are not alone: a second 13-pin connector breaks out an extra 9 GPIO pins and a UART bus from the Espressif ESP32-C6 coprocessor, which additionally delivers single-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5 Low Power (BLE), and IEEE 802.15.4 radio connectivity.
Elsewhere within the gadget, delivered to our consideration by CNX Software program, is 16MB of flash plus a microSD Card slot for the Raspberry Pi RP2350 plus 4MB of flash for the ESP32-C6. There is a user-addressable push-button swap, plus boot choice and reset buttons for the RP2350 and a boot choice button for the ESP32-C6, and a USB Kind-C connector U2014 that, apparently, can hook up with both the RP2350 or the ESP32-C6 relying on which approach up the board is if you plug it in.
The LILYGO T-Pico 2350 is accessible to order on the corporate’s official retailer, priced at $37.78; code examples directions can be found on GitHub.
