Description

Microsecond Determinism with Programmable I/O

The PlayerLabs NanoCore RP2040 is a compact edge node engineered to offload time-critical tasks from primary venue controllers. Powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2040 silicon with dual ARM Cortex-M0+ cores clocked at 133MHz, it excels in applications requiring deterministic, microsecond-accurate timing.

Key Features

  • 8 Programmable I/O (PIO) state machines for custom bit-banging protocols without CPU overhead.
  • Integrated 5V level shifters on 4 primary channels for direct LED strip driving.
  • Castellated PCB edges for direct surface-mount soldering or 0.1″ breadboard headers.
  • USB-C programming interface with UF2 drag-and-drop bootloader.

Standard UK Commercial Price: £18.00 ex. VAT / £21.60 inc. 20% VAT.
