WaveShare RP2040-Plus development board 4MB Flash USB-C

SKU CH-8F9D-W099S

Pico-like development board with dual-core RP2040 microcontroller, 4 MB Flash, USB-C power, and lithium-battery recharge header for portable projects

  • Dual-core Arm Cortex M0+ runs up to 133 MHz for responsive real-time control
  • 4 MB onboard Flash stores larger firmware images than standard Pico boards
  • USB-C connector replaces legacy Micro USB for modern cable compatibility
  • Lithium battery header with TPS63000 buck-boost regulator delivers up to 1.8 A for portable projects
  • 26 multi-function GPIO pins plus multiple SPI, I2C, UART and ADC channels for flexible I/O

Development board with 4MB Flash and USB-C

The WaveShare RP2040-Plus is a Pico-like microcontroller board built around the RP2040 chip. It provides a dual-core Arm Cortex M0+ processor running up to 133 MHz with 264KB of SRAM and 4MB of onboard Flash memory. The board targets makers and developers who need more storage than the standard Pico offers and prefer a modern USB-C connector. Its castellated edges allow direct soldering onto carrier boards for embedded projects.

Check power needs and pin compatibility

Verify that your project can supply power via the USB-C port or the lithium battery recharge header, which supports the onboard TPS63000 buck-boost chip rated for 1.8A current switching. Ensure the 26 multi-function GPIO pins match your peripheral requirements, including 2 SPI, 2 I2C, 2 UART, and 3 twelve-bit ADC channels. Confirm that USB 1.1 device and host support meets your communication speed needs before ordering.

Fits breadboards and custom carriers

The castellated module design lets you solder the board directly onto a custom PCB or plug it into a breadboard for prototyping. Drag-and-drop programming over USB mass storage simplifies firmware updates without extra tools. Low-power sleep and dormant modes help extend battery life in portable applications. The board frees you from the older Micro USB connector while adding the Flash capacity needed for larger programs.

Questions about this item

Does the RP2040-Plus board ship with headers or a battery, or must they be purchased separately?

The board is supplied as a bare PCB with castellated edges and a USB-C port. The 26 GPIO pins, lithium-battery recharge header and any pin headers are not fitted, so you add only the connectors your project needs.

The RP2040-Plus is offered with 4 MB of on-board Flash; are there other Flash capacities for this model?

This version provides 4 MB of Flash, quadruple the standard Pico amount. No alternative Flash sizes are produced for the RP2040-Plus, so the 4 MB option is the only one to select.

With the dual-core RP2040 running at 133 MHz and 264 KB SRAM, what sort of real-world workloads fit comfortably?

The 133 MHz dual-core M0+ and 264 KB SRAM handle sensor fusion, motor control, USB HID devices and moderate MicroPython or C/C++ applications. The 4 MB Flash stores larger firmware images and data logs without external memory.
