SparkFun RP2040 mikroBUS Starter Kit

SparkFun RP2040 mikroBUS Starter Kit is designed to use Click and Qwiic ecosystems side-by-side and is powered by Raspberry Pi. The core of this kit is designed around the RP2040 mikroBUS™ development board, micro OLED breakout (QWIIC), and the MIKROE weather click. This RP2040 mikroBUS™ development board is a low-cost, high-performance platform with flexible digital interfaces featuring the Raspberry Pi foundation’s RP2040 microcontroller. The RP2040 mikroBUS is supported with both C/C++ and MicroPython cross-platform development environments, including easy access to runtime debugging. This RP2040 has UF2 boot and floating-point routines baked into the chip and it has a large amount of internal RAM. The RP2040 mikroBUS starter kit features a thing plus (or feather) pin layout and LEDs.

The mikroBUS™ socket includes the MIKROE Weather Click which carries the BME280 integrated environmental unit from Bosch. The BME280 Weather Click is a sensor that detects humidity, pressure, and temperature. This is specifically designed for low current consumption and long-term stability.
