The Elecrow RP2350 Pico W5 is a next‑generation development board designed to enhance and surpass many of the capabilities of the popular Pico W / Pico 2 W line. At its heart is the RP2350 chip—a modern microcontroller offering dual‑core performance (with both an ARM Cortex‑M33 core and a dual Hazard3 RISC‑V core), running up to ~150 MHz. One of its standout features is its enhanced wireless connectivity: dual‑band WiFi (2.4GHz and 5GHz) plus Bluetooth 5.0 / BLE, enabling more flexibility and less crowding in wireless bands. The board uses a USB‑C port for power and programming, which is more convenient than older micro‑USB connectors. Flash storage has been upgraded (to 8 MB) compared with many predecessors, giving more room for firmware, applications, and data. It retains the Pico‑style form factor: same size, same pin layout, compatible with many Pico accessories and modules. There are dedicated BOOT and RESET buttons, an onboard user LED (not power LED), and robust support via SDKs, tutorials, and programming languages (MicroPython, C/C++). With operating temperatures from about −10 °C to 60 °C and low power draw, it’s suited for IoT devices, edge computing, hobbyist projects, robotics, and educational uses. Overall, the Pico W5 is a powerful, well‑rounded upgrade that adds modern wireless and interface improvements while preserving compatibility where it counts.
