Pico-like MCU board with 4 MB Flash
The WaveShare RP2040-Plus is a development board built around the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller. It provides a dual-core Arm Cortex M0+ processor running up to 133 MHz with 264 KB SRAM and 4 MB of onboard Flash memory. The board arrives with pin headers pre-soldered for immediate breadboard or prototype use. It targets makers and engineers who need a compact, programmable module for embedded projects.
USB-C power and castellated edges for integration
A USB-C connector supplies power and enables drag-and-drop programming via mass storage mode. The onboard TPS63000 buck-boost regulator delivers up to 1.8 A for the board and attached peripherals. A lithium battery recharge header supports mobile or portable deployments. Castellated module edges allow the board to be soldered directly onto a custom carrier PCB. Twenty-six multi-function GPIO pins provide 2 SPI, 2 I2C, 2 UART, 3 ADC channels and 16 PWM outputs.
Sustained operation with low-power sleep modes
The efficient DC-DC converter maintains stable voltage during continuous workloads without excessive heat buildup. Low-power sleep and dormant modes extend battery life when the application idles between sensor readings or communication bursts. The 4 MB Flash retains firmware and data logs across power cycles. USB 1.1 device and host support remains active during long-running data transfers. The design suits always-on IoT edge nodes that cycle between active processing and deep sleep.

Questions about this item
How much current can the onboard DC-DC buck-boost chip supply under sustained load?
The TPS63000 chip provides up to 1.8 A switching current for the board.
Does the board generate noticeable heat or noise when running continuously at 133 MHz?
The RP2040 draws little power and has no fan; it stays cool and silent during all-day use.
What power source must I already have to operate the board via its USB-C connector?
A standard 5 V USB-C power supply or a computer USB port is required.
