SeekerArduino Nano RP2040 Connect
Great hardware with lots of power in a tiny package. The price may put some off but if you need Wi-Fi and the RP2040 then this is the board for you, but for how long?

Product details
- The u-blox NINA-W102 radio module makes this the only connected RP2040 option. It gives you full WiFi 802.11b/g/n connectivity, along with Bluetooth and BLE v4.2
- Packed onto this tiny board are a couple of very useful sensors. A built-in mic is there for sound activation, audio control and even AI voice recognition. The six-axis smart IMU with AI capabilities tells the board which way it’s moving, and adds fall sensing and double-tap activation.
- It might be a small board, but the Nano RP2040 Connect packs a hardware punch. It matches the established Arduino Nano form factor, making it the perfect upgrade for projects of all sizes.
- With 16MB flash memory that’s external to the microprocessor, there’s bags of room for your code and storage needs.
- Smart software options for a very smart device. It has full support for the entire RP2040 software ecosystem.
- Full support for MicroPython (available in July, 2021). Get a Nano RP2040 Connect, and it comes with a FREE OpenMV license for machine vision projects.
