WiFi Enabled Pico for only $6! - Raspberry Pi Pico W overview

The Raspberry Pi Pico W board is powered by the RP2040 micro controller in the same Pico form factor featuring WiFi connectivity. This is a really interesting board that comes in at an affordable price of $6. In many ways it acts just like the Raspberry Pi Pico, just with WiFi and maybe Bluetooth in the future! It measures in at 51.3 x 21mm. The RP2040 chip supports 4 12-bit ADC channels (4 are user inputs and one measures internal temperature), two UARTs, two SPI and I2C controllers. It also has 8 PIO state machines, USB 1.1 host and device support and 16 PWM channels. Programming the Challenger RP2040 WiFi boards is exactly the same as programming the Pico. It can be programmed using the Raspberry Pi RP2040 SDK. Just press the boot select button whilst plugging the USB-C cable in and drag and drop the UF2 file onto the Challenger RP2040 WiFi. It will then reboot and run your program! It can also be programmed in MicroPython and CircuitPython.
