SPIDER Automation DFRobot Beetle RP2350 Mini Dual-Core Development Board | Raspberry Pi RP2350
Description
The DFRobot Beetle RP2350 Mini Dual-Core Development Board is an exceptionally small yet powerful microcontroller board driven by the advanced Raspberry Pi RP2350 chip. Despite its ultra-compact 25×20.5mm footprint, it incorporates a robust dual-core architecture supporting both ARM Cortex-M33 and RISC-V cores running at a 150MHz clock speed, alongside 520KB of SRAM and 2MB of Flash storage.
Engineered specifically for low-power, space-constrained applications such as wearable electronics, compact smart controllers, and portable IoT devices, the Beetle RP2350 features built-in lithium battery charging and voltage monitoring to ensure dependable battery-powered execution. With 11 accessible multi-functional I/O pins, ultra-low sleep current consumption (25μA), and a semi-hole single-sided design optimized for surface-mount technology (SMT), it delivers the ultimate balance of portability and high-performance processing for developers.
