Pico 2 W with Pre-Soldered Header Compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W Microcontroller Board, 2.4GHz 802.11n Wireless LAN WiFi 4 and Bluetooth 5.2, Based on RP2350 Dual-Core & Dual-Architecture

Got this for my PicoCalc and it works great, easy drop in, reload firmware and off we go... great little board decent price...

At time of purchase it was the only pico 2 w with presoldered headers I could get within 2 days. Needed it for a breadboard project for work and it worked fine. Soldering job on the headers was kind of shoddy so if you have your own soldering kit and the time I would just solder my own headers. I paid for this for convenience and simplicity and it worked well for the price.

The Pico 2 W is a great way to get started in microcontroller programming. It’s supported by a number of languages, is very hard to brick, has lot of community support, and is built with a quality design. Toss all that in with wifi capability and you can do quite a bit with it.

This is a nice pico 2 module with added wifi and bluetooth. It's still limited to 2.4ghz wifi but that is usually enough for most projects. I'm fond of using ESP32 for small projects but this pico 2 w is actually a more powerful CPU so it's good for projects that may need more compute power. Some reviewers mentioned the soldering of the headers was not so good but on my module the pins were all fine.I may end up using this on a robot project that previously was using ESP32, but it will be a while before I get that done. The only downside is that this doesn't seem to have any setup for attaching a camera. Also this doesn't have a built in battery charger if you want it for a project that needs to be fully mobile.

While more or less fine, the pin headers weren't properly soldered square to the PCB. While that usually isn't a big deal, it wouldn't fit into a solderless protoboard without an inordinate amount of force. I needed my panavise to press it into place! With my soldering iron, I could have fixed it, but then that defeats the idea of buying this product. This is probably just a QC problem.

Great alternative to ESP32 with more processing power. Still moving my projects over to the new IDE but so far this module has performed quite well.

This Pico 2 W board builds upon the success of the original Raspberry Pi Pico by adding 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity. The pre-soldered header makes it incredibly easy to connect to breadboards and other components. The RP2350 dual-core processor provides ample processing power for a wide range of projects, and the addition of wireless capabilities opens up a whole new world of possibilities for IoT and connected devices. It's a versatile and user-friendly board that makes it easy to explore the world of wireless microcontroller development.
