HackBEE – The Pocket RP2350 USB-C Developer Dongle

Meet HackBEE — a super compact USB-C developer dongle powered by the next-generation RP2350 microcontroller. Designed for makers, developers, educators, and automation enthusiasts, HackBEE plugs directly into your device and turns any USB port into a programmable innovation hub.

No breadboards. No jumper wires. No bulky setup.
Just plug it in and start building.

Every developer knows the struggle — a small automation idea turns into a desk full of cables and hardware.

HackBEE was built to eliminate that friction.

It’s pocket-sized, powerful, and ready to run scripts instantly. Whether you’re building productivity macros, device automation tools, accessibility helpers, classroom demos, or secure testing environments — HackBEE keeps it simple.

Powered by RP2350

At its core, HackBEE runs on the RP2350 dual-core processor, delivering:

• Dual Arm Cortex-M33 @ 150MHz
• Optional dual Hazard3 RISC-V cores
• 520KB on-chip SRAM
• Hardware SHA-256 accelerator
• TrustZone security features
• USB 1.1 host & device support
• 12 PIO state machines for flexible I/O

This gives you serious processing headroom for automation scripts, secure workflows, and real-time control.

Onboard Features

• USB-C plug-and-go design
• Boot button + programmable side button
• RGB status LED for feedback
• Compact, durable enclosure
• Cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, Android)
