Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/PIM775:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description 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](https://core-electronics.com.au/power-batteries/liion-lipoly/2-pin.html), [LiIon](https://core-electronics.com.au/power-batteries/liion-lipoly.html#category_1175) 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](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=qwiic%20stemma)), a **SP/CE connector** (for hooking up [SPI/serial breakouts ](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=sp%2Fce)or for adding a [RM2 wireless breakout](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/PIM730)) and a **debug connector** (for if you prefer to program using a [SWD debugger](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-debug-probe.html)).
