RP2040-Plus, a Pico-like MCU Board Based on Raspberry Pi MCU RP2040, Plus ver.

The RP2040-Plus takes everything you love about the standard Raspberry Pi Pico and elevates it for serious DIY projects and commercial applications. Driven by the dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ (RP2040) running up to 133 MHz, this upgrade fixes key limitations of the original board: it significantly expands onboard NOR Flash memory, replaces micro-USB with a modern Type-C connector, adds an onboard 3.7V lithium battery charger, and equips a high-efficiency 2A DC-DC buck-boost converter (MP28164).

Key Features & Highlights:

• Expanded NOR Flash Memory: Drastically increases code and asset storage compared to the stock Raspberry Pi Pico—ideal for complex CircuitPython scripts, local datalogging, and UI graphics.
• Modern USB Type-C Connector: No more fragile micro-USB connectors or orientation worries.
• Onboard LiPo Charger: Integrated ETA6096 management chip with an MX1.25 header for direct 3.7V lithium battery connection and charging.
• High-Current 2A Buck-Boost Regulator: Powered by the MP28164 DC-DC chip, delivering up to 2A output current for power-hungry sensors, displays, and servos.
• Hardware Reset & Boot Buttons: Dedicated onboard Reset button allows rapid flashing without manually unplugging USB cables.
• Full Pico Form-Factor Compatibility: Pinout matching original Raspberry Pi Pico headers with castellated pads for SMD surface-mounting onto custom carrier boards.
