Starter Kit for RP2350 Projects

The Pimoroni PIM744 Explorer is a physical-computing starter kit built around the RP2350B dual Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller running at up to 150 MHz with 520 KB of SRAM. It includes a 2.8 inch IPS LCD screen, a speaker and a mini breadboard for circuit prototyping. This all-in-one package targets beginners and makers who want a ready-to-code platform for electronics experiments.

Plug-and-Play Setup with Breadboard Access

A USB-C connector provides both programming and power without extra cables or adapters. The integrated mini breadboard sits directly on the board, so components can be inserted straight away. Beginners sometimes forget to install the MicroPython or CircuitPython firmware first, which leaves the board unresponsive until flashed.

320 x 240 IPS LCD with ST7789V Driver

The 2.8 inch display has an active area of 43.2 x 57.5 mm and a luminance of 250 cd/m², driven by the ST7789V controller over a QSPI interface backed by 16 MB of flash supporting execute-in-place. Projects that need higher resolution, touch input or a larger viewing area will require a different display module.
