A new RPI Pico in the works?

scottiebabe
scottiebabe over 1 year ago

Eben Upton Hints at an RP2040 Successor, Promises a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 in 2024

"We know what people don't like [and] what people do like," Upton says, "and we have a chip team."

I will call a spade a spade and say the sleep current of the RP2040 @ 1 mA is atrocious. I sincerely hope they improve the sleep current.

I think the QSPI memory controller could be improved as well.

Maybe more PIO memory...

But I don't have that many criticism about the pico.. 

Does the pico have any sore points for you?

    dang - these boards are having a life cycle of 2-3 years. My maker inventory looks like the Smithsonian.

    I was just thinking the same thing - just yesterday I was looking at a couple of new unused digisparks in my drawer wondering if they still make sense. I’ll probably find something silly for them Smiley

    The robotics club I lead has a Raspberry Pi Jam/Arduino Maker Open House at the nearby library every year in March. Excess unused inventory is used for door prizes and hourly drawings. When major league makers clean out their closets and donate their stuff to us, we have also advertised "swap meets" for people to pick up and exchange. The "swap meets" are really popular, even long buried engineers dig their way out of the graveyard to get free stuff   :-)

    The swap neats sound like a great idea to circulate unused dev boards.
