Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect 'Pi Silicon' Adds Computer Vision

Raspberry Pi Pico board partners are slowly releasing their RP2040 'Pi Silicon' based boards. So far, we have seen boards from Pimoroni and Adafruit, but hot on their heels is the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect. In a recent tweet, we see Arduino using this board in a computer vision carrier board.

The Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect looks to be the go-to RP2040 board for IoT applications. It can be programmed using the Arduino Create web editor, and support will be added to the Arduino IDE via a future update. As this is an RP2040 board, it will also support MicroPython and possibly CircuitPython should there be a demand.

There is still no indication on price or availability, but we will review this board and many other RP2040 boards from other partners.
