SparkFun Pro Micro RP2040 Review: The Best Small RP2040 Board?

This video gives you a first look and overview of the Pro Micro RP2040 board from Sparkfun. This board is a great alternative to the Raspberry Pi Pico for projects where you need some extra features in a smaller package! The Sparkfun Pro Micro RP2040 uses the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller and has 16MB of on board flash storage and a USB-C connector. It also features a user programmable RGB Neopixel LED on the topside of the board. It has an in built resettable PTC fuse and both a boot select and reset buttons. In many ways it acts just like the Raspberry Pi Pico, just with more features - including a reset button! It measures in at 33.02 x 17.78mm.

Just press the boot select button whilst plugging the USB-C cable in and drag and drop the UF2 file onto the Pro Micro RP2040. It will then reboot and run your program! It can also be programmed in MicroPython. Let me know in the comments if you would like to see some projects featuring this board! Do consider subscribing if you enjoyed the video!
