The Raspberry Pi Pico series is a range of tiny, fast, and versatile boards built using RP2040, the flagship microcontroller chip designed by Raspberry Pi in the UK.
:::info
Only the Pico W has WiFi/BLE capabilities. Meshtastic supports WiFi on the Pico W (although no web server and HTTP API), but does not currently support BLE.
:::
## Specifications
- **MCU:**
- Raspberry Pi RP2040
- Dual M0+ Core
- 133MHz CPU Clock
- **Connectors (On Pico):**
- Micro-USB on Pico
:::note
Please be aware that the Raspberry Pi Pico must be used in combination with a [Waveshare LoRa Module](https://www.waveshare.com/product/raspberry-pi/boards-kits/raspberry-pi-pico-cat/pico-lora-sx1262-868m.htm), which provides the necessary SX1262 LoRa radio. Please ensure to select the correct frequency for your region.
:::
- **LoRa Transceiver (On LoRa Module):**
- SX1262
- **Frequency Options:**
- 410 - 525 MHz
- 863 - 870 MHz
- 902 - 930 MHz
- **Connectors (On LoRa Module):**
- U.FL/IPEX antenna connector for LoRa
- 1.25mm 2-Pin JST for battery
:::note
LoRa transmissions may interfere with the USB connection. It is recommended to place the antenna as far away from the USB port as possible.
