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/WS-20187:1.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 The RP2040-Zero, is a low-cost, high-performance Pico-like MCU board based on Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller. **Specifications** - RP2040 microcontroller chip designed by Raspberry Pi in the United Kingdom - Dual-core Arm Cortex M0+ processor, flexible clock running up to 133 MHz - 264KB of SRAM, and 2MB of on-board Flash memory - USB-C connector, keeps it up to date, easier to use - The castellated module allows soldering directly to carrier boards - USB 1.1 with device and host support - Low-power sleep and dormant modes - Drag-and-drop programming using mass storage over USB - 29 × multi-function GPIO pins (20× via edge pinout, others via solder points) - 2 × SPI, 2 × I2C, 2 × UART, 4 × 12-bit ADC, 16 × controllable PWM channels - Compatible with all I2C devices with a clock rate of 100khz and some devices up to 400khz - Accurate clock and timer on-chip - Temperature sensor - Accelerated floating-point libraries on-chip - 8 × Programmable I/O (PIO) state machines for custom peripheral support 29 × multi-function GPIO pins Configurable pin function, allows flexible development and integration ![](https://www.waveshare.com/img/devkit/RP2040-Zero/RP2040-Zero-details-7.jpg) **Features** ![rp2040 zero component features](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product_images/ce08607-rp2040-zero-features.jpg) 1. **USB Type-C connector** 2. **W25Q16JVUXIQ** 2MB NOR-Flash 3. **BOOT button** press it when resetting to enter download mode 4. **RESET button** 5. **WS2812** cool RGB LED 6. **ME621**low dropout LDO, max current 800MA 7. **RP2040** dual-core processor, up to 133MHz operating frequency 8. **RP2040 pins** 10x solder points, 9 of which are for GPIO **Dimensions** ![rp2040 zero dimensions and pin spacing](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product_images/ce08607-rp2040-zero-dimensions.jpg) **Wiki:**RP2040-Zero ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/C/E/CE08607-1.jpg)
