Raspberry Pi Pico W

The board as it appears on the Velxio canvas, with its full pin map read live from the simulator (regenerated by scripts/gen-boards.mjs, so it always matches what you can wire).

Family: Raspberry Pi Pico & Pico W · Languages: Arduino C++, MicroPython

About this board

The Pico W is the Pico with the CYW43439 radio, and the radio is emulated rather than stubbed — the wireless stack really associates and your firmware sees a link come up.

Two levels, worth knowing before you plan a project:

• Joining a network runs in the browser and is free. The association, the driver handshake and the link state all work on any plan.
• Reaching the real internet is a paid feature. DNS, TCP and UDP out to actual hosts, and the inbound IoT gateway, are gated at run time — see plans.

Two Pico Ws can also talk to each other on one canvas; the gallery has handshake, GPIO mirror and UART passthrough projects built that way.

No separate starter: open New Raspberry Pi Pico project and swap the board, or place it from Add Component.
