Inventor 2040 W - development kit with Raspberry Pi Pico - PiMoroni PIM633

Inventor 2040 W is a development board with a Raspberry Pi Pico W module with support for 2.4 GHz WiFi wireless communication. The use of the Inventor 2040 W in the project gives a wide range of possibilities thanks to the interfaces and leads placed on the board. They include JST-SH connectors for connecting motors , a driver with a double H-bridge ( DRV8833 ), STEMMA QT / Qwiic or PWM outputs for controlling servos. The board also has a connector with an audio output for connecting a loudspeaker and a GPIO output with analog inputs, 12 addressable RGB LEDs and functional buttons.

The Inventor 2040 W has a Raspberry Pi Pico W on board.
