# Raspberry Pi RP2040 Microcontroller

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** CE07840 · **Brand:** [Raspberry Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/raspberry-pi-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-rp2040-microcontroller.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-rp2040-microcontroller.html.md))

RP2040 is Raspberry Pi's first microcontroller and it features Dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ with 133Mhz Clock, 264KB SRAM, UART, SPI and I2C support. Along with a whole lot more.

> ⚠ Deal is for shelf stock only — any additional stock will be at the normal price.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $1.28 (inc GST) — $1.16 AUD, exc GST

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 4120 today; more stock is typically available with a 5–11 day lead time.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE07840:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. 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/CE07840:1.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)
