Pimoroni Pico LiPo 2
Available with a lead time
Expect dispatch between Jan 19 and Jan 23
A top of the line Pirate-brand RP2350-powered microcontroller with 16MB of flash storage, 8MB of PSRAM, USB-C, Qw/ST and built in LiPo charging.
Psst - looking to use a RP2350 board in your project, but want more features than are present on a vanilla Raspberry Pi Pico 2? Pimoroni Pico boards are souped up microcontroller boards, with all the tasty extras baked in
Pimoroni Pico LiPo 2 is powered and programmable via USB-C and comes with an upgraded 8MB RAM, 16MB of flash storage and easy to read pin labels. It's got onboard LiPo/LiIon battery management - the inbuilt charging circuitry means charging your battery is as easy as plugging your board in via USB. There's two indicator LEDs connected to the battery circuit to keep you informed of on/off state and charging status and it's compatible with any of our LiPo, LiIon and high capacity LiPo batteries. There's also a handy power button and a BOOT button, which can also be used as a user switch.
It's super easy to connect up to things without soldering, with a Qw/ST connector (for adding I2C sensors and breakouts), a SP/CE connector (for hooking up SPI/serial breakouts or for adding a RM2 wireless breakout) and a debug connector (for if you prefer to program using a SWD debugger).
Looking for a similar board with WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity built in? Check out Pimoroni Pico LiPo 2 XL W!

Pinout and Schematic
Getting Started
If you're new to working with RP2350 boards we'd recommend starting with our custom MicroPython build, which includes support for our breakouts and Pico add-ons.
Connecting Breakouts
Pico Lipo 2 XL W has both a Qw/ST (AKA Qwiic/STEMMA QT) connector and a SP/CE connector. You can easily connect up Qw/ST breakouts using a 4-pin JST-SH to 4-pin JST-SH cable and SP/CE breakouts using a 8-pin JST-SH to 8-pin JST-SH cable.
