Microcontrollers
RP2040 Boards
- In 2020, Raspberry Pi introduced their first custom chip, the RP2040, first used in the RPi Pico. It has become wildly popular as the basis for a number of devices.
RPi Pico & Pico W
Badger2040
Tiny 2040
Arduino
- Rather than SBCs, Arduino (and Arduino-compatible) boards are microcontrollers, suitable for robotics and other embedded applications.
Arduino-Compatible Boards
