The Adafruit QT Py RP2040 is a tiny, stamp sized RP2040 board packed with plenty of features for miniaturised projects! This video gives you a first look at the new Adafruit QT Py RP2040. This board is a fantastic addition to the Adafruit RP2040 line up and showcases a wide range of features that you might want to use in your project! The Adafruit QT Py RP2040 uses the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller and has 8MB of on-board flash storage an on-board RGB neopixel and plenty of connectivity through SPI, I2C and UART. It is a compact board which measures in at 21.8mm x 17.8mm and weighs 2.2 grams, perfect for your wearable projects.

It has plenty of programmable I/O pins which have functions that bigger boards only dream of. The RP2040 chip supports 4 12-bit ADC channels, two UARTs, two SPI and I2C controllers. It also has 8 PIO state machines, USB 1.1 host and device support and 16 PWM channels. Programming the Adafruit QT Py RP2040 is exactly the same as programming the Pico. Just press the boot select button whilst plugging the USB-C cable in and drag and drop the UF2 file onto the Adafruit QT Py RP2040. It will then reboot and run your program! It can also be programmed in MicroPython and CircuitPython.
