board-pi-pico-2w Reference

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W, an RP2350 microcontroller board with a CYW43439 wireless chip for 2.4 GHz WiFi and Bluetooth.

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W

The pin-out, simulation features, Serial Monitor setup and UF2 export are the same as the board-pi-pico-2. Check out the board-pi-pico-2 docs for more information.

Onboard LED​

The onboard LED is attached to GPIO 0 of the wireless chip (WL_GPIO0), not to an RP2350 pin. The hidden pins TP5 and TP4 map to wireless chip GPIO 0 and GPIO 1. LED_BUILTIN works in Arduino code, and Pin("LED") in MicroPython.

WiFi​

The simulated CYW43439 connects to the virtual WiFi network, so WiFi code written for the real board runs unchanged. The simulator provides an open access point called Wokwi-GUEST with internet access through the Wokwi gateway; the WiFi guide describes the network, the gateway options and how to add your own access point with the wokwi-wifi-ap part. Bluetooth is not simulated.

Pico SDK​

Pico SDK projects are compiled with PICO_BOARD=pico2_w, which enables the pico_cyw43_arch libraries.

MicroPython​

The MicroPython firmware includes the network module for WiFi. Start from the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W MicroPython project template.
