WIZNET WIZFI360-EVB RP2040 WiFi Microcontroller Development Board

The WIZNET WIZFI360-EVB is a feature-rich development board built around the powerful RP2040 microcontroller from Raspberry Pi, integrating a dedicated WizFi360 module to provide seamless 2.4GHz WiFi connectivity. This board is an excellent platform for creating wireless IoT (Internet of Things) devices, smart sensors, and connected projects without the need for additional shields or adapters.

Its design is pin-compatible with the popular Raspberry Pi Pico, allowing developers to leverage existing Pico libraries, code, and accessories. A key note is that GPIO pins 4, 5, 6, 7, and 20 are dedicated to the WiFi module; when using WiFi functionality, these pins cannot be repurposed for other uses. This integrated approach simplifies prototyping and reduces component count.
